jaffa1 Â Â 10 #217 Posted July 17, 2017 I think there is a tenuous link in that the alley behind the Abbeydale Road sarsaparilla bar led down to a rag and bone yard on Broadfield Road. Not sure if it was the same one because I can remember two. Â Thank you for explaining Person6, I am not familiar with that area.

Jack_Russell   11 #219 Posted July 18, 2017 My late father used to live on Alderson Place off Bramall Lane, he used to tell me about what he called a " Drinks Shop " which sold Sarsaparilla and other soft drinks.  I remember him saying it was either on Bennett Street and or London Road, ( I wish I had paid more attention to him when he was alive).  My father played football in the 1940's for a junior team called Highfield Amateurs of which the owner of the Drinks shop was the manager, they used to meet up at this shop prior to playing.  I have a team picture of them from 1942 ish, taken in front of the pavilion at Bramall Lane.  I'd be interested if anyone could help with any info.  Cheers Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bladebeer   11 #224 Posted July 20, 2017 The shop at Manor top Barnards was a sarsaparilla and soda bar before Barnard took it over. The owners lived on Ridgehill Avenue  As teens we all walked up to Barnards and had a drink from the machine outside,which was quite a novelty in 1957. We had loads of laughs and enjoyment without a mobile phone in sight. Who would have wanted parents checking up on us anyway.
