These premises have a unique claim to fame as the only remaining official pound house in Sheffield. It was built in the late 1880's on land belonging to the Duke of Norfolk who was also the earl of Arundel and Surrey and Lord of what was then still the Manor of Sheffield. Theae premises inherited the manorial rights of being a pound house. The Landlord was known as the Pinder and he had the right to round up and hold any stray animals-horses, cows, sheep-until their owners collected them. He could charge a fee for their return. The stables are still used to this day, to hoyse two percherons belonging to Vaux Brewery in Sunderland, when they visit Sheffield for their processions and other person appearances. They are to be found at the rear of the building.
