This lamp is on the right hand side, looking from Stockwith Road, of the entrance door from that road. A similar one is on the left hand side. This may have been a pub owned by William Stones of Sheffield. They were taken over by Bass in 1968 and the Stones brewery known as the Cannon Brewery closed in 1999. The famous Stones Bitter is still brewed but at other breweries, and is no longer owned by Bass. It should be said that the picture of a cannon and the word Stones appear to have been painted on paper and rather crudely cut out and pasted on the lamps. So they probably predate any ownership of the pub by Stones. Other photos, see:- Image
