Location/Address
93 Langsett Road South, Oughtibridge, S35 0GY
Type
Description
Behind a stone frontage of decent dignity and possibly purpose-built around 1900, the Travellers Rest preserves the basics of its original layout scheme of three rooms off a central hall/lobby. Especially notable is the near-intact back lounge (with good bench seating), the tiled entrance lobby, and leaded glass suggestive of an interwar refurbishment.
The most intact room is the back lounge on the right, with good bench seating of age, early C20th green tiled and wood surround fireplace, a counter front that looks to date from at least the 1950s but has lost its door. There is a good colourful Ladies' stained and leaded panel in the door and the rear left room has the wording 'Kitchen'. The front left room, with 'Bar Parlour' etched and frosted windows, has no old fittings and is home to a pool table. Ahead of the front door is a carpeted lobby with a quarter circle bar that looks to date from at least the 1950s.
The Travellers was briefly owned, from 1909 to 1918, by Strouts, a small Sheffield brewery: the front window for the Tap Room engraved with their name could be unique. Strouts were founded in 1865 and were taken over by Tennants in 1918. They also owned the Commercial in Chapeltown, amongst other pubs. The Travellers Rest was taken on by Samuel Smith from Whitbread East Pennines Ltd. in 1982. The following year, the rear left lounge came into use as a public room, replacing a domestic kitchen. The rear left Living Room became a Catering Kitchen (plan by Samuel Smith Architects Department).
