For a minority of convicted murderers the decision was taken to gibbet their body rather than send it for dissection. Spence Broughton whom this pub is hinting heavily towards was not a murderer but postal robber as postal communications was the only way the establishment could communicate, robbing mail couriers was seen in high contempt by judges and deemed ultimate punishments.

 

Stadium P. H. (formerly the Railway Hotel now the Noose and Gibbet)

Perfect location for the Arena, straight across the road, also plenty food outlets at centertainment next door. It is not an up to date hotel, it is an old fashioned B & B with friendly locals reasonabley priced for any hotel opposite an arena with own carpark adjacent beer-garden. Rustic rundown apperance appeals for an 18th century themed bar.

 

 

 Sheffield Arena directly opposite made this a great affordable B&B with own car park with Beer Garden

On public display for 36 years as a scare mascot for judgement law “In 1827 the gibbet was taken down, and Broughton’s remains were buried in a churchyard in Darnall. However, Spence Broughton is still remembered in Sheffield today. The Noose and Gibbet pub on Broughton Lane, Attercliffe takes its name from the events.”
