A friend in Chapeltown is thinking of auctioning off their collection of Sheffield'artefacts'......mementos from Sheffields glorious past. The collection includes stuff obtained since the late 60's, mostly relating to old buildings in town....nothing of intrinsic value as such, just for collectors....the guy was a bit of a building site and skip 'scavenger'...for example,m this is just a handful of stuff I am interested in.......

Hi Golden Fleece,

Just saw this posting. You obviously have an interest in certain types of club memorabilia. If you and are your friend have any posters, club membership cards, photos and similar material from old clubs or groups in Sheffield, copies of these could be of
great interest and use to myself and a friend for possible incusion in a book we are hoping to put together on local music/club memorabilia.

Please let me know.

I remember seeing 'The War Game' and 'Easy Rider' at the Classic Cinema. It used to be called be the Cartoon Cinema I think.

Regards
Paul Norton

Love anything connected with old Sheffield 'entertainment' scene...most of this stuff has been sold now to someone who PM'd me a week or so ago......a few other bits have surfaced though but of interest only to dedicated 'anorak' collectors.....and I have no idea if they are authentic or not, but he claims to have a painted sign from the original MOJO club......
