Regulars at the Burgoyne Hotel, Sheffield, indulge in their two favorite pastimes
Regulars at the Burgoyne Hotel, Sheffield, indulge in their two favorite pastimes, " Pigeon Fancying and Drinking". During the war, the landlord, Mr. Harold Pantling, and some of his regulars, all of them racing pigeon enthusiasts, turned their peace time hobby into war work and bred birds for active service with the forces. To keep up interest, he has been holding a " Pigeon and Pints Night", at which his customers can hold a competition for the best bird, in the bar parlour every Sunday night during the winter.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1946 at the Burgoyne Hotel in Sheffield. The image captures a group of regulars indulging in their two beloved pastimes: pigeon fancying and drinking. During the war, these men, led by their dedicated landlord Mr. Harold Pantling, transformed their peaceful hobby into a patriotic duty by breeding birds for active service with the forces. To maintain enthusiasm and camaraderie amongst his customers, Mr. Pantling initiated a unique tradition known as "Pigeon and Pints Night". Every Sunday evening throughout winter, the bar parlour of the Burgoyne Hotel became an animated arena where patrons could showcase their prized pigeons in friendly competition. The photo radiates warmth and friendship as we witness these men engrossed in conversation while savoring pints of ale. Their shared passion for both pigeons and socializing has forged strong bonds within this close-knit community. This snapshot from February 1946 encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects an era when public houses served as vital hubs for connection and leisurely pursuits amidst post-war rebuilding efforts. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how hobbies have always played an essential role in fostering unity during challenging times.
