Pond Street shops and cafes have all gone

[Sheffield History]

For those who are no longer in the city here is what Pond Street shops are now

[Unitedite Returns]

Quite sad really.

Wasn't there, once upon a time, a twenty-four hour petrol station located underneath, with access from Pond Street?

I seem to remember it, because, occasionally, I used it, as there were few such late services available at that time, and also, as one of the night-shift attendants was murdered there. Sometime in the late 1970's, as I recall.

There was a fish and chip shop which sold a really nice fish cake butty!

Oh no, not the dreaded f*** c***! Can we now expect multiple posts of what this actually is? I am joking of course.

Yes, remember that chip shop and those butties, superb. Did there also used to be an amusement arcade in that row of shops?

You are of course correct, I had completely forgotten about the fish and chip shop, and yes indeed, it did sell really nice fish-cake-butties, with genuine fish-cakes, not those disgusting rissoles (I'm watching you Peter Walker!), that are often, falsely passed-off as fish-cakes in other, less-learned parts of the country.

And wasn't there a small supermarket and a hair-dressing shop too?

Wasn't there some sort of electrical / spares shop as well?

There are one or two chippies around Sheffield I have been in that sell them as "Sheffield fish cakes!

Yep, popped  in there a few times myself. 

Wasn't there a charity or second hand shop there as well.

I can vaguely remember a electrical shop.

Got to agree, they are disgusting

Up the escalators from the bus station and over the bridge, then heading along "The Levels"? up Pond Street....

Presto Supermarket?

Showboat Amusements?

Castle Bakery?

The Friary Chippy? (of fishcake butty legend!)

Butchers?

Scoop (a shop where you had to use little scoops to dig you for out of bulk drums and weigh it into plastic bags)?

The Minerva Restaurant?

Fads Decorating and DIY?

Maybe a few of these changed hands, along the timeline and can't recall the hairdresser's, electrical shop and charity shop?

any additions, corrections, opinions very welcome!...

(I deliberately missed the cinema, as it was on the level above, up the next set of escalators and it wasn't a shop)
