Lyn 1 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Page Hall Back in the 1970's it was used by the Patnick family as a second hand furniture store. It was quite large inside - I wonder if it had been a theatre as the decoration on the outside is very ornate? In the 1950s/60s it was a Co-op and sold all sorts of stuff. I recall going in for a new spout for the teapot. In those far off days we mended rather than bought new and the teapot was a pot one and the new spout a rubber one. Popes took it over after Patnicks. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I read somewhere (and i am sure i have a picture) that it used to be a theatre. I will have a dig around at home later. No mention of it on Picture Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I remember it as a co-op. Don't be misled by the ornate design, the co-ops went in for some grand facades! Here's the old S&E at the bottom of Ecclesall Rd, have a look at the windows just above the hoardings. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s17139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gramps Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I was told it was a B&C branch - selling soft furnishings, millinery, curtains etc. but Patnicks had it when we moved to the area. The B&C grocery stores was on Owler lane along with the butcher's next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I have a brochure from the B&C co-op, printed in 1929 to celebrate the opening of original central store at the junction of Waingate and Exchange St and listing all contractors. It has a photo of their first store in Carbrook street which was opened in 1869, it also has photos of all 39 grocery branches operating at the time. This picture shows the Page Hall branch, selling drapery, boots and shoe sales, boot and shoe repairs, tailoring and outfitting and confectionary but no groceries. telephone number 41906. There were grocery stores close by at Fir Vale and Dykes Hall road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 ... There were grocery stores close by at Fir Vale and Dykes Hall road. I used to live on Dykes Hall Road, no 53 - just up from Avondale Road - most interested in learning more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture that in my minds eye, across the road from the pub ! I used to go to School that way, up Dykes Hall Road, down Far Lane - twas on the right going to School, strangely, on the left coming back !
