Sheffield History Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Not really changed that much as you can see but here's a photo of Dykes Lane shops from the 1960's if anyone knows where that is Just up from Malin Bridge school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don't know the location, but I do find this sort of photo very atmospheric and nostalgic. It's very likely that all the shops were useful, too, though it's hard to distinguish any apart from the barber's; I hope that the parade does not now comprise two charity shops, three pizza take-aways and a nail bar.

As far as I can determine..... Right to left... Empty?, Cafe / Takeaway, Empty ex-Offy, House? Barbers, Newagents, House?, House?, House?...

Busmansholiday Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 There were more shops to the far left of the picture (on the same side of the road) between Norris Road and Findon Street (I remember a newsagents and a decorators shop at least) as well as a butchers on the corner of Findon Street. There used to be a chippy (almost 50 years since I lived there) down Norris Road on the right hand corner and a sweet shop further round near the rear entrance to the Junior school (left there in 1968). Four Black Jacks for an old penny. Behind the photographer there were also some shops as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
