COMMITTEE 34 L Stuart Burrows

The Sheffield pub scene has lost one of its great charac- ters. L Stuart Burrows, the long-serving licensee of the Mount Pleasant on Derbyshire Lane, died unexpectedly on Friday, 29th July. Stuart, a former Sales Metallurgist/Chemist found his true vocation when he took the licence in September, 1993. At the time the only real ale available was Tetley Bitter, but over the years he increased the range to the 6 ales now on offer. During his tenure very little else did change however because he believed that pleasant surroundings, a warm welcome, good company, and of course, a well kept pint were what his customers wanted. He succeeded in cre- ating a typical, traditional pub atmosphere in this small 2-roomed village local. The kind of “improvements” introduced elsewhere were considered unnecessary. He frequently referred to the pub Steel City Brewing as being “Unspoilt by Progress”, a tagline he used as part of the title of his 2015 publication otherwise called, “The Steel City’s brew for Sep- ple of casks of AFA, fruit Mount Pleasant - A History of a Public House at Bole Hill tember is a home collabo- and brettanomyces have Norton”. ration, and as Dave owed been mentioned...
