Story: Christine Steers
The earliest reference we can find is in the 1871 census, when the address was Hall Carr Gardens, near Carwood House. The landlord was William Talbot, aged 62, a Beer House Keeper from Nottingham. His wife, Harriet, was from Sheffield. After his death in 1874 he was buried at Burngreave cemetery and his wife went on to be landlady.
William Biggin took over in 1882, when the address changed to Carwood Lane. The following known landlords were:
1893 Thomas Spencer
1898-1902 Amos Flude, also buried in Burngreave cemetery
1921 James H Blackhurst
1932-1939 Thomas Hinds
1951 Glyn Punter
During the 1960s all the old housing was demolished and the new estate was built by 1974. So many people are still living locally with memories of the Tavern.
