I have very early memories of the Co-op shop at the top of Dykes Hall Road in Hillsborough, near the Bee Hive pub. Does anyone else remember it? I think it then became a shop for homebrew supplies. We used to live in the terraces opposite the Castle Inn before they were demolished around 1978. I remember the co-op seemed really old fashioned in my memories with open wooden shelves and counters running along in front of them. I looked on picture-sheffield for a photo but couldn't find one. Can anyone remember if it really was this ancient or is it my just early childhood memory?

i remember it i think it closed late 60s early 70si cant remember it being a home brew shop though

Yup! remember it very well. We used to go there a lot as the family lived in the area. The last incarnation for the shop was selling packaging materials. Las time I went past it was a bookies.

its soon going to open as a sandwich bar ,called the honey pot
i think.

Oscarpie,
Where exactly did you live on Dykes Hall? My mum used to have the grocer's opposite the chippy/chinese, until around '78 when I got married and she and my dad retired.
