The movie house was the Oxford Cinema. It had the main entrance to go into the main hall and another entrance, at the bottom of Crookesmoor Lane, to go into the Circle upstairs. The building just above the Oxford Cinema was a Snooker/Billiard Hall.
Spent many an 'our in theer on t'back row!!

They're still here and fashion has made comeback ageean, Check out Sheffield City Hall on 29th November to see one of the best live bands I have ever seen.
Yes, I only returned 6 weeks ago, this was my 6th time since leaving in 1972.
Although I have been living in Oz a long time now I still feel that I am an Englishman living in Australia. I know this may seem wrong to a lot of people, but thats how it is for me.
When ever England are playing sport against Australia I always go for England, I just can't change that.

Derek, its time you wised up. I have lived in OZ now for almost 40 years. When ever the Poms play sport against the Aussies, you don't barrack for either, you just say "Isnt it great that we won".
Janet, I must have been in all the places you mention, if fact if you think about it we could have been at many at the same time. I had forgotten about those drinks you mention, girl friends who drank Babycham didn't last long, I hated carrying those shallow wide brim glasses it was served in through the crowds in the pub. Barley wine, I agree dynamite but I remember the lads drinking it also. yes great times.
have still got 6 babycham bottles of drink in my wall unit from days gone by

most brits in aus feel the same way derek
first time I went there was about 3 years before you ,they didn't have a sense of humour then
they're only just starting to get one now after years of trying to imitate the poms and yanks off tv
as for patriotism they'd leave the N koereans for dead
