Waterside Echo Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 In the early 50s, being woken by the sound of whistle blowing express trains thundering through Neepsend.

Guest dex Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I remember the Bier Kellar on High Street ( got done for buying a mate who was underage a beer in there) and the late night burger Hut next to the Classic Cinema in Fitzalan Square guaranteed to give you a bad stomach next morning (Ok it could have been the beer as well). Don`t know why but my wife used to call the Burger Hut "Twerpy Truffles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hougomont Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 what about bar rioThe Jazz and Big Band concerts at the City Hall in the fifties,the famous American singers and jazz stars, and the immortal Ted Heath and His Music. I was very pleased so see Tuckwoods mentioned,my late and much missed Mum worked there for many years and her knowledge of catering and cooking was legendary within our family, when I started courting my Wife many years ago she was amazed and fascinated watching Mum cut slices of bread with a saw bread knife all the same perfect thickness and symetry,and watch her setting out the table for family parties and get-togethers, all done with ease,care and it all looking fanastic. Not so much of a Sheffield memory but special to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest plain talker Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I remember hot summer days at Millhouses lido, where the punters were crammed in like sardines, virtually shoulder to shoulder. I remember me and my best friend "ladding it" on a Saturday morning in Granelli's balcony bar, upstairs in the "new" Sheaf Market, sharing a chip butty and a glass of cola. If you got a seat on the very outer tables overlooking the market, it was ace. I remember the different coloured moulded plastic tables, and the umberellas on the ones nearest the boundary wall. (ususally after going to either the "minors matineé or swimming at Sheaf Valley Baths. I remember the wimpy bar on Pinstone Street (currently a building society) As a small child I remember the huge "event" of my mother treating me to lunch "out" at Davy's restaurant. We'd usually meet my uncle, there, (my mother's "big" brother) when he came to visit, from Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caroleve Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 what about bar rio J Lodge Epns Ltd, Solly street.

Guest BUXT0NGENT Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 "The Nameless Restaurant" where was that? If you looked from the City Hall Steps towards Coles (Still Coles , not john Lewis) it was on the Street to the right of Coles, just before you reach Coles Sports. They served the most superb honeyed Pork Ribs. Yumm. To add to the list, The Lions in the City Hall Auditorium. The announcer on the Midland announcing our train to Elsie Car, and Woomb well, and then Barnsley. rather embarrasing if you had a young bird with you! The sweet stall in the entrance to the Fish Market The spice fish and mint rock they sold there. Most of all though are the old Sheffield Trams!!!

Ellesse Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Glad someone mentioned The Abbeydale - great picture house and there used to be a sasparilla shop nearby, used to go there with my gran What was the name of the coffee shop near there? Does anyone remember "Club 60" down Shalesmoor Nether Edge Dance Hall Byron House Pub The old police box at Nether Edge up at the top near the allotments (didn't Roger Moffat paint it red, white and blue or something) Roger Moffat (DJ on radio Sheffield) Nether Edge Hospital Broadfield Road swimming baths SNOW - lots of it sometimes Victoria Station (think that's what it was called) Ponsfords Jo Cocker Sheffield Speedway Samuel Osborn steelworks :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Welcome Ellesse, I don't remember Club 60 as Club 60, but you can investigate its earlier history in the Pubs thread, look for Acorn (there may be a few more there to interest you). I thought Moffat painted a lamp-post but I'm more than willing to be wrong. You input and posts are most appreciated, hope you've got some terribly hard questions to pose, the place as a whole needs a challenge. Enjoy SheffieldHistory.co.uk, it's free, polite, imformative and if you can think of a real stinker of a question, then great, we get to wind Tsavo up - with is always fun lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesse Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yes, it was a lamp post now I think about it. Club 60 wasn't a pub it was a music place down in the cellar of a building on Shalesmoor in the 1960's, hence the name. Very smokey and loud, but great music.

Ellesse Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi just looked up the Acorn - seems I was wrong about Club 60 not being a pub, although I don't remember the Acorn Inn as such, just the Club. It must have been in the cellar of the pub as we went into a door and straight downstairs to it. Just shows you how your memory plays tricks. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
