Sheffield’s Real Heritage Pubs (New 2023 Edition)

SHEFFIELD’S REAL HERITAGE PUBS

Historic Pub Interiors to Visit and Enjoy

‘For almost forty years, CAMRA has developed its national inventory (NI) of historic pub interiors.These highlight the crème de la crème which have either escaped much alteration or contain features of exceptional interest. We are aware that below the NI are a host of interiors which still offer a great deal worth seeing. The pioneering work carried out in Sheffield to locate and record these pubs has been an inspiring exercise. This publication portrays the rich tapestry of Sheffield’s pubs: from the nationally important to those where what remains, even if fragmented, should be cherished. A bonus, of course, is that many of these pubs sell great real ale.’ – Paul Ainsworth, Chair of CAMRA Pub Heritage
