This old pub stands behind the Town Hall and pre-dates it by more than 70 years.
Three pubs were demolished to make way for the original Town Hall, its extension required a similar sacrifice by Sheffield's drinkers. As the surrounding area was re-developed more than 100 pubs had to go. The Brown Bear is one of only a handful that survived.
