Huxley   10 #1 Posted January 10, 2013 Does anyone have any photos of the old Virgin shop at the bottom of The Moor please? My husband and I both worked there during the late 70s before it closed and we'd really like a picture if anyone could help? Looking forward to seeing what everyone can unearth......

mike-s   13 #9 Posted April 27, 2015 Just watched the you tube clip, flippin crackin!. That shop was my second home in the early/mid 70s. Did'nt Hudsons open next door as well?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
AKAMiwurdz   10 #10 Posted April 27, 2015 If you use Facebook, there's a group called 'Virgin Records in the 1970s and 1980s'. Not just about Sheffield obviously, but a lot of pics and stuff to get the old memory banks whirring.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bilge   34 #11 Posted April 29, 2015 Did it move to a different shop on the Moor later? I seem to remember it on a corner, maybe Cumberland Street, bottom left as you look down the hill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
40summat   10 #12 Posted April 29, 2015 I spent many hours there, great atmosphere before the large record barns opened, Lewis Leathers next door too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
