and live on Freeview channel 276
The Rose House, in Walkley, closed earlier this year, months after it had been attacked by vandals who smashed several of its windows last summer. The pub had remained boarded for several months, and was still boarded up in February.
But hopes of its re-opening were raised last month when the pub company which owns the building put up a board outside asking for a would-be landlord and confirmed that they were recruiting for the job.

Pictures of the pub this week show that there is now glass in the windows again.
Previous landlady Jacqui Hanson had soldiered on running the Rose House, on Walkley’s South Road, keeping it running for a time with boarded-up windows.
A spokesman for pub company Stonegate, says it hopes to re-open it soon. They said: “We are actively recruiting for a new Pub Partner to take this business forward and are looking to reopen as soon as possible.”
