Elm Tree pub, Manor Top,Sheffield

[ironsky]

Demolition work has begun on this large Tudor pub to make way for a petrol station and shop unit. The Elm Tree is a well known local landmark and in its day was noted for been one of Sheffield's toughest pubs and once had a landlady who kept a baseball bat behide the bar to keep her unruly customers at bay.The pub closed c 2007. So if anyone wants to get a few pics of this notorious pub better make it quick.
