madannie77 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Gleadless Townend, at the junction of Ridgeway Road and Gleadless Road. The building is still standing: Haven't found an old photo of it as a co-op yet. Apparently it had a cash railway, but unfortunately I can't remember that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 30_degrees Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Can anyone recall any of the locations of the many other co-op's ? The only one I can remember as a kid was at Margetson Crescent, S5. One snowy winters evening mum and I went shopping there from Colley Cres, and took the shopping home on the sledge.

Hi Dunsby I've had a look on streetview for you. Unfortunately I don't know exactly where it is and there seem to be a plethora of Asian Grocers around there. Where was it in relation to, say, the main junction of Barnsley Rd/Owler Lane/Herries Road. Edit: I think I've found the one you mean now Dunsby.

See below Sorry Vox - that is Page Hall & may have been a co-op in its time - I remember it as Patnick's "Junkerara". The Owler Lane shop is directly across from Trinity Methodist Church by the traffic lights as the road forks off to Page Hall/Firth Park. Its easily the widest shop on that parade built out of red brick with cast iron decoration on the roof. Possibly the windows are painted dark green. I should have explained myself.

The building you mention across from Trinity church is it next to a closed down car lot? If so its now an Asian travel agent. I remember in the 70s it had a co-op insurance place upstairs.

My family used to live on Skinnerthorpe Rd, and our houses backed on to the co-op. Owler Lane was always referred to as 'Stores Hill' because of the co-op grocers. Unfortunately there's no Google Street View between Selby Road and Firth Park Road junctions with Owler Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived on Jenkin Road in the 1960s - I think I read that there was a Co-op on Eben Street which is just below the Rising Sun. I'll ask my mum if I am right.
