To Dreb 48 I was at the Johnny Kidd concert in Nether Edge Hall. I think it was organised by High Storrs Scouts (or High Storrs School Scouts if there was such a thing). I was a pupil at High Storrs School. It must have been in the early 60s. Maybe 62 or 63? About the same time as we used to see Vance Arnold and the Avengers at Crosspool's St Columba's, I believe.

Not for me. my Emails return saying domain name not recognised

I can't get the link to work. ---------- Post added 25-10-2017 at 18:11 ---------- The link to Gemma, that is.

Try Googling "bombs in Sheffield blitz" and go to Images. You may be able to track down the sources from there.

A popular student pub in the late 60s and early 70s. Always full on a Thursday night for free black pudding plus cheese and onion sandwiches. Lol and Madge ran the pub with help from Maurice. I don't remember it being a "rough" pub at all at the time I used to go

I remember the gig at Nether Edge Hall. I was there. It was arranged by a group from High Storrs school - I think the scouts (even tho' in retrospect this sounds unlikely). I assume that the booking was made before Johnny Kidd had a hit with I'll Never Get Over You. It must have been around 1964, maybe at the end of the summer term? I was at High Storrs, and it would have been probably in my Lower VI year. But I'd be persuaded by someone with a better memory that it was a year later at the end of the Easter term.

Maybe Dr Greaves. I don't recall the number, but your description fits the location.

Wallers was in the parade of shops opposite the Rising Sun, so a different place from the one you were enquiring about.

Probably the same owner as the Nether Green shop. He also owned a little shack behind Fulwood Church close to the War Memorial (Canterbury Avenue). Stocked cigarettes, sweets, and was a distribution outlet for The Star.

Possibly Wallers. Newspaper and sweet shop. I "marked up" newspapers early mornings in the early 60's.

Hi I knew Jean Gaunt for a while. Lovely girl and very bright. She had left school and was in her first year at Uni. I was still in the 6th at High Storrs Boys. Batting a bit out of my league, I suspected.

I think that Travesties is a Tom Stoppard play, not John Osborne. I remember seeing it, but my programme long gone, I'm afraid.

Hi Sorry, I should have put a full stop after However. Is there any way to enter a private message?

To MarcyJ I knew David Lidgard when we both lived in Fulwood. This would have been about 1961 to 64. I don't want to discuss too much on an open forum, however

I've been told (but can't confirm) that they still supply coffee from their premises in Tinsley. Google Pollards Coffee Sheffield for contact details.
