Hi , Yes I lived on Blackstock rd, in the early 70's & 80's , and have very happy memories of living in a very large flat above the shops, right next to the Blackstock pub. We all had big balcony's with a fantastic view of Gleadless Valley. I can recall when you could just walk into the Medical Centre in front of the bust stop & get an appt then & there, wow! And we just used to nip downstairs to the shops & does anyone remember the Fish & Chip shop run by Mother, Bro & Sister, they were great people. I also remember Oliver's butchers shop just below our flat, and Michael Oliver alway's waving to me when I passed the shop coming home from work, yes we did fancy each other, They moved the business onto Ecclesall rd later on. Knew all the shop owners, Smedley's & sons, hairdressers, etc as they were all living in the flats above their shops as well. Happy day's as a young girl working in Sheffield city centre & spending my lunch in the Stone House or the Buccaneer pubs, I used to go in under age, but it was so dark in there, nobody even noticed ...then into the Dove & Rainbow, and into High court for a fantastic sandwich from The Attic, wow does anyone remember it, great coffee smell alway's in the air outside ? omg, now need a time machine !!!

I do remember a drop dead gorgeous guy I dated who worked there in the early 70's he was a young Sidney Poitier look a like named Eden, omg ! happy days. Guess who's coming to dinner alright 😆
