Oh dear, this place has very painful memories for me. In 1972 I got a job with Trebor Sharps as a trainee sales rep with a company car (a maroon escort estate) and to celebrate I took some mates out in Sheffield. We went to the Mulberry Bush, Stonehouse, and Blue Bell as I remember, and we were stopped by the police down near Castle Market somewhere. I was breathalysed and took to West Bar. A doctor came and took a blood sample, I'd been on pints of shandy, but I thought the worst and was devastated at ruining my chance. After an awful two weeks I got a letter saying the test was negative and I was OK, but every time I've driven past that building I've remembered the hollow feeling sat inside waiting for the doctor.

No it was about a mile away, my mistake, High House Brewery would be a better guess. Henry James Dearden brewer High House Brewery 1854 directory

My recollection of this scene was that Lomper was having trouble starting his car, so this was why Dave stopped to help.

Hi. Some of this (if not all) was filmed in the workshops of Sanderson Kaysers on Newhall Road, Attercliffe. My dad worked there for 40+ years and was still there when filming took place.

Don Brewery?

Yeah just watched the film and heard him say that! "alright alright.. don't get t'benny on" I've heard it a few times in my life but not often and don't hear it at all anymore Not a Sheffield phrase I've ever heard used as part of everyday life?

Loved the film and was impressed by Robert Carlyle's Sheffield accent. But in the canal scene he used an expression I have never heard here; - "he's got a benny on" Anyone else use this?

I have a key to West Bar Police Station from when I was there late 90's, it also fitted all the police boxes such Bramall Lane, Sky Edge, Fitzallan Sq, Park hill and the tardis outside the Town Hall.
