Pictures show the John O'Gaunt pub, Gleadless, Sheffield, from popular local to pile of rubble

It was once a well loved estate pub, even playing a starring role in a film starring Sean Bean.

But the once popular John O’ Gaunt, on Blackstock Road, is now reduced to rubble, after a couple of weeks of demolition work at its Gleadless Valley site in Sheffield.

Built in the 60s, one of many estate pubs in the city at the time, it was one of the locations for the 1990s Sean Bean film When Saturday Comes, but it has stood empty for years.

Demolition work started this year, amid plans for redevelopment work in Gleadless Valley in the coming years.

We have taken a look at the venue in pictures, from its use as a pub to its final demolition.

Take a look at the pictures below.
