A popular neighbourhood pub in Sheffield could soon receive a fresh new look, after plans for improvements were submitted to the city council.
Bosses at pub company Greene King have applied for approval to carry out renovation work at The Acorn Inn, located on Burncross Road near Chapeltown.
The proposed facelift centres on the outside of the building rather than internal alterations. According to the application, the work would include installing a new traditional pub sign along with wall-mounted lettering and signage.
Greene King has also produced an illustration showing how the venue is expected to look once the work is completed. The plans have been submitted to Sheffield City Council for consideration.
The Acorn Inn is a site rich in history. The building began life as a coaching inn in 1868 and sits within an area surrounded by green spaces.
If approved, the refurbishment would refresh the appearance of one of the area’s long-standing neighbourhood pubs while maintaining its traditional character.
A decision on the application will be made by the council following the planning process.
The Acorn Inn at Chapeltown celebrated its 150th anniversary by staging a family fun day. The event was attended by Lord Mayor Councillor Jane Bird and Sheffield Wednesday footballers Sean McAllister and Akpo Sodje. The former coaching inn was built in 1858 after being relocated from Bracken Hill.
