bossyboots   10 #6 Posted April 2, 2009 Hi cliffsharky, The central was where the skating rink was I think on Zion Lane near Peace Gardens. Maybe you are to young i was born in 45 but wots ten years, I can assure it was very popular in the sixties and I am realy surprised your'e the only reply I have had. I suppose many are to old to care now and it's a shame, when it stayed open on unutil twelve thirty on New Years Eve it was like a nite club to me and my friends. I lived when the down Alfred rd until 1968 when there was the house clearence, and now live in Ecclesfield and I have never known happiness like I did in the sixties. keep in touch LGX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Joanl   12 #7 Posted April 2, 2009 I first left Attercliffe in 61 and returned several times over the following few years to my mothers on Newhall Road. I can remember the roller skating rink on Zion Lane but can't recall ever seeing or hearing about it becoming The Central?.... I am curious now I must admit.

bossyboots   10 #8 Posted April 2, 2009 Hi Joan1, no one seems to remember the Central and we all had sucha good time bopping to the live groups. Screaming Lord Such, Dean Marshall and his deputies, a guy called Jonnie White would sing and many others. They were great times if it was open until twelve you were safe to walk home, unlike today. I recently met up with an old friend and we had a laugh talking about the fun we had. We never bothered about the pubs , although our boyfriends at the time did. I lived near Alfred Rd and married a lad from the same area, let me know which end of Newhall Rd you lived, we just might no one another. Keep in touch LG..............
