southside Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Can't help you with much Suzy. I did some plumbing work at a Victoria Wine shop just up from Hillsborough Corner, I'm guessing early 70s. This YouTube video from a few years ago might trigger a few more memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Could it have been Graingers, at no.8 Middlewood Road?… photos below from 1977 https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s27011&pos=25&action=zoom&id=29763 https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s27010&pos=24&action=zoom&id=29762 Building is distinctive, so although street view is recent, it may ring a bell??? 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Thank you so much for jogging my memory . It was definitely Graingers Wines . I remember the day it opened., looking very modern compared to Victoria Wine, which was at the bottom of Dykes Hall Road. I have a childhood friend who’s mother used to clean at both Victoria wine and at Graingers. We were having this decussion, which thanks to you is now solved. Hillsbro looks so different today. It was always a very close knit community , everyone stood around chatting on street corners or near the shops,my mother would chat for hours on her regular shopping trips and as children we would have to be seen not heard . 🤫 Not like today's little angels , who rule the roost😱lol thank you again RLongden Regards Suzy☀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
