Land Girl, you are right there was a pub down Strickland St, It was and still is called the Strickland Arms and its still there today. The only Sheffield Arms was the one previously mentioned which is on Hessle Rd itself. This area of Hessle Rd were "Sheff" once stood was first built up well before Strickland St was built. As you are alive today the only pub you could have entered down Strickland St was the Strickland Arms. The Sheffield Arms on Hessle Rd was demolished in the late 60s. The Strickland Arms has stood with that name for over 100 years. It was present during the 1911 census records. I think this has to be the pub you went in when you lived on Hessle Rd. If you can remember another pub by the name of Sheffield Arms down Strickland St that you believe was demolished just after the 2nd World War, that would mean there were 2 pubs of the same name just a stones throw from each other as the Sheff on Hessle Road was definitely standing at that time. There is no record in the 1911 Census of a pub called the Sheffield Arms standing in Strickland St.

The Sheffield Arms was definitely on the main Hessle Rd, not Strickland St. It was opposite the Smith and Nephew factory on Hessle Rd and was situated in the vicinity of the later Pheonix Club, which was itself knocked down to make way for the Clive Sullivan Way entry Rd off Hessle Rd circa 1985. The pub was very popular in the 2nd World War years when my mother was one of 5 sisters who were regulars at the pub during those heady years. Mums maiden name was Gladys Smith and her sisters were Annie, Lizzie and younger sisters Elsie and Gertie. Mum said every night was a party night in "Sheff" despite the nightly bombing raids, then afterwards they would party back in Wassand Street where they all lived. Apparently the war years were not doom and gloom all the time. lol
