Grindstone?

The refurbishment of the Grindstone continues, with the sign taken off above the door and a liberal use of navy paint (the wall to the side is currently the colour of the patch above the door)

 

The Grindstone was a Wards pub, back in the day when Sheffield produced "mass market" ale (Stones was also brewed here - it's now made in the Midlands)

 

Nowadays dozens of ales are made around Sheffield (Kelham Island, Abbeydale, Wentworth, Bradfield etc all have breweries), which makes things more interesting, but the days of "mass market" bitter like Wards/ Tetley/ John Smiths/ Boddingtons seems over - people either drink bitter from independent breweries or have moved on to lager
