On a street somewhere on the left hand side of the Rotherham to Sheffield road, before Banners. Bloke I was apprentice to made me deliver a leather bag that ticked, every day to the Rad then my dad told me I was a bookies runner. That was 60 years ago, that was when I thought politicians were Honourable.

The rads was on Staniforth Road. You had to walk under an arch to get to the club. In the 60's I spent many a Sundy lunch time in the rads with my dad. I remember 'playing' house on used house sheets, bottles of vimto and packets of crisps with the salt in a twist of blue paper. I also remember another wmc called 'The Non Pots' (short for non-political I think). I think the rads is a car park now.

the rads is still there although run down, its behind alltools at the bottom of staniforth road,

Thanks for this Dongle. My mum was a barmaid there for a short time in the 60's. I have fond memories of both the rads and the non pots (and Attercliffe in general). :)

Thanks again dongle. When I've got a cuppa and a good few minutes I'll play with google earth/street view and see what I can find :)

I used to go to the Little Victory Club years ago, it was on Beverley St or in that area, it was like 2 houses knocked into one, they had entertainment most weekends, and the people were a very friendly bunch.

The Rads was on Roundell Street, at the bottom of Staniforth Road.
