The Electra doesn’t look right, it seems to have been superimposed on the original photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tozzin Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I’m surprised no-one has mentioned the Queen’s Restaurant that eventually became the Indus, the Queens was a Greek restaurant and my wife worked there for a short time and we also rented a room in one of their houses on Stafford Road before getting our own place on Gleadless Valley, the Gabriellidis, the owners, lived next door to us and Mrs Zina Gabrielidis was very kind to us, their son George either owned or ran the Montgomery Hotel in Nether Edge. Whenever I tell people about the Queens, they don’t seem to remember it, the restaurant was sold and the family relocated back to Cyprus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Eleftherios Gabrielidis previously ran the Royal Cafe in the Norfolk Market Hall. After being declared bankrupt in 1965 he was finally discharged in 1977. The Queen's had been a French restaurant - in 1962 the manager was advertising for a "Head Chef with full knowledge of French cuisine" at £25 weekly with monthly bonuses.

Ponytail Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Sheffield History said: Them were the days. 😁 Remember going down those steps underground in Fitzalan Square when the 75 bus set off outside C&A my foot slipped off the platform rear loading bus with me hanging onto the pole and the bus dragged me nearly down to the junction making a mess of my knee. The policeman on point duty picked me up and a bus conductor took me down to their rest room to clean me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
