When I became 18,my father Alexander
Malcom,took me in this pub. He pointed out the swinging sign depicting
queen Matilda, the wife of Alexander King of Scots, from whom we are
descended. I was dismayed to see,on a recent visit to Sheffield, that
the pub is in a decrepit condition and the sign is somewhat mutilated.
Nevertheless i would be delighted to buy the sign and restore it to its
former elegance. I would consider buying the pub and the cobbled
courtyard to boot if it was safe from a demolition order and would help
to restore it as a working tavern or as a museum of latter day taverns.
