Guest SteelCityBoy Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 This is my first post on this site and I must say that the site is a credit to everybody associated with Sheffield. Great work. Anyway, i'm originally from Gleadless and was wondering if anybody has any pictures of Gleadless in the 1900's and how it has changed? Maybe any interesting stories too? One I do remember was the beatles playing in the old concert hall on white lane (now somerfield). Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Welcome to you Hopefully someone can find you some useful stuff. Initially I'd say check out www.picturesheffield.com 35,000 Sheffield photos there to root around in, plus check out the Sheffield websites link on the main page.

Sheffield History Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Welcome to the site SteelCityBoy, There's loads on the Beatles playing at Gleadless - so it's well worth doing a search for Beatles and reading the results - there will be somethings you remember about it and hopefully some new stuff for you too !

Hi - another site which could be of interest is - www.gleadless.net which contains loads of photos old and new of the Gleadless area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pfn Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The Beatles played in the old Azena Ballroom. It was a gig organised by the Stringfellow brothers. The gig was due to be at the Black Cat Club of theirs (St Aidans church hall on). Between them booking the Beatles and the gig, the 'fab four' had a hit record so a bigger place was needed for the demand. Saying that there were still twice as many people in there than the ballroom capacity legally allowed. A lot of people around outside as well. A good, hot and sweaty night by all accounts. I think Peter said he paid about £15 - 20 for the band!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
