HISTORY: Until the early C20 served as both a grocers and beerhouse and consisted only of the northerly part (i.e. in the angle of the streets). The first recorded use of the name 'Bath Hotel' was in 1908 but the premises were still recorded as a grocers in 1911. In 1920 Ind Coope bought it and in 1931 remodelled the premises and incorporated the house next door. An unusually complete example of a Sheffield corner public house, which retains in almost complete form the plan form and fittings of 1931. Sources: research for Joshua Tetley & Co by C. M. Scargill, displayed in the bar.
