Left school in 1960, had the cane a few time , not that much of a deal. Fortunately never reprimanded by a Mr Clark at Owler Lane Intermediate who used a rubber gas hose on the rear end

In the 50's to 60's+, there was such a shop on what I think was called Chapel Walk between Pinstone and Norfolk St's at the side of the old Peace Gardens. It had a low wall with bronze measure standards on top. It was about the centre of the line of shops and I believe there was dance hall above called Alf Golds It may now called St Paul's Parade !!

If you wheely want a answer , any that are not red or blue

Do they still change the wheel colour from blue or red depending on who's running the city?

Only try whilst sober, Mrs Hunt, had a rough cut punt , not a punt cut rough, but rough cut rough s

Was that the one that did tuxedo rentals. It was a bit like Grace Brothers, a teller sat at one end of the counter and the bills , cash and change were shot back and forth on cable. This was opposite the peace gardens in the 60's.

My dad was in the Home Guard in WW II, he said he fought all is Jerries in Bowden Homestead Wood , Handsworth. I remember he said he and another guarded a hole in the ground at Cravens all night

Try asking for them on the Picture Sheffield site.

Crickey, that's going back a bit. We did that in the 50's Or Eeny Meeny Minny Moh

Assuming you are looking for a marriage in Sheffield, you could try The Sheffield Indexes. Here you may be lucky and find them in church registries. This is a great site for ancestry research for births, deaths, graves etc, complete with who else is buried with them.

Mr Crownshaw was a silversmith, he once brought in complete silver tea service and tray he had made to show us. Very impressive.

It was called A Smith's , Bought mine from there about '62. Formerly Lodge Inn. Picture Sheffield Image # v02687 Zoom Move cursor over image to magnify Ref No v02687 Title No. 47 A.

This makes more sense than the bridge idea and probably explains why there are a few Norfolk Arms pubs around

In the 60's , we used to look forward the Atlas & Norfolk sports day week. They had a sports ground in the Roe woods area with a large fairground in attendance. I've no idea what connection of Norfolk is from.

Looks like a2022 Goldie is coming, 650 single, water cooled, Anyone know where it is being made ???

Sequence was red, red & amber, green, amber, red. Here in Canada it's red, you're out of here.

Shhhh, , I was a Bsa boy, been in Ontario Canada since '81. My Gran had the Hallcar in the early part of WWII, that could be a clue. Very nice, but it's not a real Goldie, doesn't look right and will definitely not sound the same. But I'd give it a go.

All of what you guys say is true. I haven't owned a bike since around '65 but I sure as hell would still like as shot on a DBD 34 "Goldstar"

My Great grandparents (Harrison)and grandparents were the landlords of the Alex from around 1910 ---37. Grandma then moved to the Hallcar Tavern until about 1943, dad was born at the River Don Inn .

My friends son Sean Buckley was working there , lucky to get out Ok with minor burns and scorched clothing.

You could be right, if we knew how much a pint of beer cost in 1866 we might have a better idea.

Thanks for lighting up the map, it shows what might have been. Did you see what I think are the prices of the proposed houses in 1866 and who had bought some of the lots (John Brown). The pink piece below Petre St became a quarry. Cockshutt Lane now Grimesthorpe Rd, Cyclops St to originally be named Clifton Rd. Ps, how did you convert to http://??
