dunsbyowl1867 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've kept this for 35 years don't ask me why - perhaps it was waiting for this website. My auntie sent it to us when we lived in Canada for a couple of years. It must have been to accompany that short information film included at the beginning of the Full Monty. A couple of choice photos to enjoy! Anyway - Picture One the Hole in th Road Picture Two Tinsley Viaduct - conspicuous for a) lack of traffic lack of repair/engineering works & all lanes being open Picture Three - The wonderful Chapel Walk ( My sister used to work in the hairdressers George France with the 1st Mrs Sean (sorry love I'm famous now) Bean. That's a joke Picture Four "Swinging Sheffield" Young people of today think they invented fashion & clubbing - see Sheffield rocked in 1969!

Henry Pond Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Picture Three - The wonderful Chapel Walk ( My sister used to work in the hairdressers George France with the 1st Mrs Sean (sorry love I'm famous now) Bean. That's a joke Brilliant picture. Is the shop next George France a stationers? There was a craft shop - whiteheads or something - on the other side. And down at the bottom, A B Wards bookshop. I was trying to remember that name only the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Noise Heat Power Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Wasn't there also The Methodists Bookshop down there, which I don't recall being quite as religious as it sounds? (Though maybe it was - I suddenly recall going there to buy the 'Songs Of Praise' hymn book we had to have at junior school). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I often went in there - no idea why - I just though it was really cool (I was in NO way religious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where abouts was the Methodist bookshop - perhaps I'm thinking of the wrong bookshop. The one I'm thinking of had qute a large downstairs section and was a few doors up (i.e. towards the camera on this shot) from Canns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake - I'm thinking of a different place entirely - in the other road that goes from Fargate to the Crucible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandroulla Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The City's Publicity Officer at that time was Peter Wrigley. I applied for a job with the Sheffield Publicity Dept and was interviewed by Mr Wrigley - he was very impressed that I knew that the city's motto was "City on the Move" - but not quite enough to give me the job! I ended up at NatWest on the High St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
