patto   10 #4 Posted February 20, 2011 Used to get my hair cut at Lightening Freds. Shop was between Barrack and I think there was a glass fronted cafe on the corner of Bamforth and Penistone Road. Worked at Daniel Doncasters from '65-'82. Bought my paper at "Mac's" every morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

patto   10 #6 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Remember being on stike,(again), early 70's and outside Daniel Doncasters, in a big punch up between police and pickets. Both me and my boss, the forman, got detained by a pc. He was about to book us when another scuffle started. He stood us up against the wall and said we should stay until he came back. We legged it to the cafe across Penistone Road and drank tea and watched the drama across the road. Happy, militant days.

hillsbro   32 #9 Posted February 20, 2011 This photo on picturesheffield. com shows the pub with "Carter's sandwich shop" next door. As old tup wrote it used to be a shop, with "Benjamin Cresswell, grocer" shown at that address (605 Penistone Road) in directories from the 1940s to the early 1970s.

hillsbro   32 #12 Posted February 21, 2011 The New Barrack Tavern is on the corner of High House Terrace, between Burton Street and Capel Street. Here is a scan from the 1942 directory showing this part of Penistone Road - the shopkeepers' names etc. may bring back a few memories!
