Photo from Picture Sheffield. Picture Sheffield have captioned this photo as a former inn, but cannot find any definite proof that there was ever an inn or a beerhouse here.
Bradfield Archives note that there was a beer-house in this location, probably in one room of the house, but when I enquired, they can provide no proof of this.
Joseph Marsden of Westnall & Waldershelf. This could be the mill at Ewden, because the one at Broomhead was in the occupation of the Jacksons in this year.
Richard Sylvester of Hunshelf, alehouse keeper, was fined 10 shillings because he "did suffer certaine lewde and disorderly psons to bee Tiplinge, drinkinge & danceinge and alsoe then & there did suffer a Piper to pipe in his sayd house upon the sayd Saboth day, To the evill example of others ..."
In 1876, William Shaw of Spring View erected a house here, and in anticipation of having a license granted had called it the “Spring View Hotel.” It was a large house with stabling for ten horses. The magistrates turned him down, as the Castle Inn was deemed more than enough for the population.
