Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Rawson Spring (Lloyds No 1)

With a tram stop and a bus station (the Hillsborough Interchange) opposite, this branch of Wetherspoon's was a convenient place to start a crawl of pubs to the north of Sheffield city centre.

Housed in the former Hillsborough Swimming Baths, there is a large central room, with a number of smaller rooms to the front of the building. The bar itself is long and in the main central room. The usual 'spoon's real ales were on - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar, along with 7 guests - Brain's SA, Cairngorm Nessie's Monster Mash, Pheasantry Excitra, Green Jack Lurcher Stout, Arkell's Kingsdown, Loddon Dragonfly & Thornbridge Jaipur. Bag-in-the-box ciders were Weston's Old Rosie & Broadoak Moonshine.

As Wetherspoon pubs go, this one is above average. As pubs in Sheffield go, there are many better.

A pretty good Spoons, as has been mentioned before housed in the splendid building of the former Hillsborough Baths. The long rows of tables in the main room are a bit regimented, but apart from that it ticks all the required boxes and several more besides, with a good selection of ales (5 or so guests), a large outdoor area and even a ground floor (and quite palatial) gents. Most importantly, you can step off the tram straight into the front door!

I have been to the Rawson Spring at least twice previously, once in 2015 and again in 2017. It was on my way out last time that I noticed the entrance to the beer garden, so as it was a nice sunny day yesterday while I was in the area I decided to check it out.

Ten hand pulls at the bar (split across two banks), offering at least three dark beers and a cider in addition to a few guest pale ales and the Spoons holy trinity.

Service was efficient and pleasant (unlike on my previous trip) and I was even asked if I wanted a top up even though it clearly wasn't necessary (and quite possibly not physically possible). I had the Little Critters Coco Nutter, £2.15 for a pint (£1.08 for a half). This was a nice 6% coconut stout in decent condition and can't knock the value for money aspect.

The beer garden was bigger than expected and made for a nice sun trap. It looks like there may be an outdoor bar in the lower section too.

No sign of any TV sports at the time of my visit, nice and quiet in that respect.
