LeadFarmer Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Anyone have any information or memories of this chip shop on Sharrow Vale Rd? I believe it was owned by an ancestor of mine, so I'm keen to find out any information. I think it was located opposite where Two Steps chip shop stands today. Ive not been able to find any photos of it, but my understanding is that my great grandad owned it, and my grandad worked for him instead of going to school, but Im keen to and out if any of this is true.

Calvin72 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 There are a couple on Picture Sheffield that show the right place. Not sure if blowing them up can shed any light? This one is from c.1900. http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s19365&pos=37&action=zoom&id=21908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Not sure of the era you are interested in, but here are 2 census returns for 270 Sharrow Vale Road, for 1911 and 1939: Here's part of a postcard (on sale at https://sheffieldpostcard.co.uk/catalogue/ ). The arrow is above 270 Sharrow Vale Road, the fourth premises past the junction with Hickmott Road (looking Eastwards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadFarmer Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks 270 Sharrow Vale Rd would place the shop just where I was told by the owner of Two Steps chippy across the road. Cant find any reference to it whilst owned by the Dale/Dales family. By the way, it was around this time when a Dales married a Dale, just to confuse the family tree.

Edmund Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Billy Dale who ran the shop was a club turn I believe. Here's a photo showing both the chip shops (from https://petehill.zenfolio.com/sheffieldold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering if the sign says Dale's (with an apostrophe) or Dales (without apostrophe)? If it was run by Billy Dale then obviously the former. I know from my family tree that a Dales married a Dale. I wonder where Pete Hill found the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where Pete Hill found the photo? Pete Hill is a Sheffield based professional photographer. From his website ( http://www.petehillstock.co.uk/ ) "For my 15th birthday I was taken for my first proper burger at Uncle Sam's, then across Ecclesall Road in Sheffield to buy it at the Susan Wilding camera shop. I was later to return there for my first job as the Saturday Lad." You can't get much more local to Sharrow Vale Road than that! His archives are well worth a browse.

We have no Dales in the family, it’s just the chippy was called Dales Fish & Chips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a different chip shop to this one? Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy117 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Yes there was, it is on that picture, the shop with a sign on the wall in the background. I always knew it as Sharrow Vale Chippy. It had a nice little lighthouse in the window. It's now a Chinese chippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
