All In A Day : A City - Sheffield Documentary


Recommended Posts

ALL IN A DAY - THE CITY

This documentary filmed in Sheffield is definitely worth a watch as there are some really great shots of Sheffield and of course the fact that everything happening in it happened in just one day in the city of Sheffield

Plenty of recognisable Sheffield filming locations in this one to hunt down and identify!

Have a watch - see what you think!

In this scene a Sunblest van for some bizarre reason seems to have reversed down a road, through a brick wall and down into someone's house!

Quite a remarkable scene and on a day that this Sheffield documentary was being filmed

Woud love to know how a Sunblest van ends up in someone's living room like this

Anyone know the location of this one?

Imagine sitting with a cup of tea in your living room watching the TV and a huge Sunblest bread van ending up coming through your front window  🤣

A Sheffield documentary wouldn't be a Sheffield documentary without obligatory shots of Park Hill and Hyde Park flats and All In A Day is no exception with a sweeping view of Park Hill and Skye Edge and a look over to Hyde Park

Anyone able to guess where this filming location was shot from?

Meanwhile back at the Sunblest Bread Van accident we see a rescue operation underway to recover the vehicle and get it out of the living room of the homeowner

Using chains and ramps the van is dragged up the ramp and out of the front of the house, spilling some of it's load as it leaves the scene

Reporters from The Sheffield Star are here taking photos for the paper and getting ready to write up this remarkable story!

In this shot the camera zooms away from Firth Brown , towards Sheffield City Centre and drops down into The Hole In The Road

It's a great shot - would love to see a higher quality version of the low res one here!

In this strange scene I have absolutely no idea what is going on but let me tell you what I think is going on

First of all this is before my time so I'm not aware of the actual reality here but it seems that for some reason one of the staff at the department store overlooking the Hole In The Road in Sheffield City Centre decides to spend her lunch hour modelling dresses some kind of upper floor restaurant or cafe?

Whatever is happening it must have been extremely awkward for customers enjoying a cream tea or afternoon lunch to have some random woman come strutting up to your table and standing next to you forcing you to check out the dress she's wearing 🤣

Can anyone fill me on on what's really happening here? Am I close?

The next scene is even stranger in The Black Swan pub on the corner of  Snig Hill and Bank Street just down from the old ABC Cinema

In this scene for some reason a glam rock lady is up on a stage dancing like a wild child for the entertainment of a load of older Sheffield blokes

Does anyone remember this kind of thing happening in The Black Swan?

Yeah, pretty much except they were models rather than staff members on their break. I never went in the cafe, but they used to wander around the rest of the shop to advertise the womens clothing department. in the 1980s and 90s

Is that the cafe on the top floor of the old coop in town? I seem to remember going in there as a kid

It was the John Walsh department store. They had models wandering around displaying their latest women's fashions to increase sales, mainly in the womenswear department and cafe.
