Photos of the old Virgin Records shop wanted

Recommended Posts

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......

Apparently, I have to post 5 comments before I am allowed to include a link. So bear with me..

Apparently it's Record Store Day, today, so I wrote a short blog and included the photo

The photo is from 1978 and I am sitting outside.

I'm still not being allowed to provide a link, so I've sent an enquiry and see if I can put the photo link up later..

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?.

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..

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.

I spent many hours there, great atmosphere before the large record barns opened, Lewis Leathers next door too.
