Pauldens Ltd. (became Debenhams that year) winners of the Sheffield Chamber of Trade Trophy for best entry typifying service in Sheffield. The Display Department spent weeks cutting out polystyrene flowers on a hot wire (the smell was awful and if you weren't careful, burnt fingers) then painted in vibrant colours. If I remember correctly an Electric Organ was a main feature of the design, (Display Manager Gary Ellinger was determined for it to feature) Other than that my memory fails me about the float.

Bottom of Spital Hill, with former Dwire's building seen in the background, I worked in those premises, around the date of the photograph.

Here is another photograph from the topic,

that I would say was taken in the Spital Hill/Carlisle Street/Savile Street, area?

I was a member of the Junior Chamber (Jaycees ) and was on our float for a couple of events. I knew  Mike Brown and Howard Culley fairly well .Mike was a great raconteur!

Amongst its activities in which I took part was a sponsored River Don clear up …where many tonnes of scrap steel was collected and the First National Recycling Conference….

The All Male organisation seemed to lose its fun when the rules were changed!😙😙😙
