The former three-storey boozer at 660 Attercliffe Road and a next door shop have been vacant for almost 30 years, according to a planning application submitted this week.
Proposals to fully renovate the site and transform it into nine new ground-floor flats are currently under consideration by the council.
It will take a lot of work to become habitable as it is not currently wind and weather-tight and suffers from infestation.
Here is a look back at the site in its heyday.
