Guest coffee cup Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 :) Yes it was the Chuck Ranch, remember going there many years ago. Think it caught fire under suspicious circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yeah I think you are right and at the time many people speculated as to what went on.. I thought it was the site - I wonder why it's never been redeveloped (or at least tidied up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coffee cup Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think Holme Lane as missed out some what. It used to have loads of shops I remember going to a bread shop, called Turners we used to order our our bread from their for the weekend, it was next door to a newsagents, where we used to get the papers plus if I could keep the change I used to get a 1/4 of sports mixture or midget gems. Those were the days !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield History Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yours it up the other way isn't it ? Towards Malin Bridge (and the Supper Spot - best chippy in the world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coffee cup Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I beg to differ Admin, but Malin Bridge chippy is better {on one way road end of Rivelin Valley Road} is much better than Supper Spot, failing that Taplin Road or Worrall Road beat Supper Spot hands down !!.

Sheffield History Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 ha ha ha !! This argument brings back memories of a few weeks ago.. Anyway - back to your shop - isn't it at the other end from the shop this thread is on about ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coffee cup Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Admin, you were the one that brought up the Supper spot which to my memory is very close to the Yew Tree, you said it was the best Chippy , sorry I beg to differ there are better even better than the two local ones I mentioned. If you want proper Fish & Chips then go to Broomheads at Crookes {cooked in Dripping bad for the figure but excellent - you did bring up fish and chips . !!

RichardB Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Well I did well to remember it - actually I just recognised it, not bad from 30 years ago - what was the Geology place just along from there, back towards Hillsborough, same side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilldweller Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Take a look at the picture below.. If I'm right - isnt this the site of the old 'Chuck Ranch' restaurant ? The site is exactly the same today Years ago it used to be a chemist shop staffed by a very superior lady in a dazzling white coat. As a lad I used to go there to buy an obnoxious dye called something like "crysadine" for my father to colour his fishing maggots with. The maggots of course I had just purchased next door at Dawsons, which is still going strong today. I used to deliver papers for Faldings who were located just the other side of Haden Street. On the morning of the "Great Sheffield Gale" I eventually ventured out from home to collect my papers. As I left the comparitive shelter of Haden Street I stepped out into Holme lane and the wind blew open my great big canvas "Star" bag and the next thing I knew I was flying past the upstairs window of Dawson's shop and I made a painful landing about 10 yards nearer to Malin Bridge ! Happy Days !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Chrysoidine Dye was a very powerful orange dye that colored maggots on skin contact, not only did it color maggots it also transferred it's self onto anglers hands and could not be removed by washing. Another dye that was used was Annatto, but Annatto had to fed into the growing pupa, Anatto was more commonly used as a food coloring and is still used today in food production, ie: margerine.
