Yes the spelling is "Gillotts" and the "Anybody's Butter...."slogan was correct. The bakery was situated at a triangle formed by Lyons St. Carwood Rd. and Carlisle St East. I believe they were taken over sometime in the ' 60's by a bakery called "Veres" of Rotherham.

I don"t remember the lady in question, but a couple of families in that same "yard' were the Baxters, father Bunny and kids Rodney and Denise. I think their mother passed away when the were quite young. The other was the Lavells, Geoff and Stan.

Thanks Jim Hardie! I forgot that they had a club (Stringfellows) in Manhattan. I had my fortieth birthday there and Geoff Stringfellow, who was present and still remembered me bought all the party drinks. Top man!!

I remember him Penfold, his son was in our class at All Saints. I think his name was Roland and if you mis-behaved in class he would go home and tell his Dad! Like father like son I suppose.

Don't know about Peter, but Dave lives off Prince of Wales road at Darnall, I phoned him about 18 months ago. He couldn,t help with others of our time from Carwood Terrace .Lived there from about'48 to '67 , friends were Terry Thompson , Barry Fitter, Robert Ferguson, Reg Justice. Does anyone remember a Kenny Box ,bit of a gentle giant. I also worked at Burgeons,delivering groceries around Pitsmoor and Grimesthorpe , walked bl--dy miles with that handcart.Hated to have to go to the Richards family on Cyclops St, she was once in the tin bath in front of the fire and shouted come in. I remember Ken Box, he had a sister, Susan I think and they lived next to the Hallcar, As for the Richards family, I used to deliver there too and apart from the daughter being rather attractive the whole family was whacko! i only found "Sheffield Forum" a couple of weeks ago, and I can't believe that one day I would be sitting in a Manhattan skyscraper reading all this evocative stuff, Great!!

Yes! The Black Cat on City Rd was the first. The Blue Moon off Nursery St was second then The Mojo, after that Penthouse in Dixon Lane and finally Down Broadway after that it became difficult for them to operate in Sheffield so they went to Leeds-forget the name of that place-then Millionaires in Manchester and then London.

i lived in Petre St between Lyons St and Sutherland Rd from 1947 til 75. At one time I delivered papers for Mr Yates, not the nearest paper shop to me, Potter's was. I then went to work for Gowers & Burgon, Lyons St/Petre St. I remember all the stores, Mr Livesey in brown smock. Rogers' was the cleanest well-stocked shop there was. The junk shop became Roger's barbers and Eric Hooley was a mad, and probably still is, Wednesdayite. The Simmonites lived in Carwood Crescent not Carwood Terrace (David & Pete who I think now lives in Australia) I hung around with the Smith brothers fron the Terrace.
