  1. Meers Brook flows just three hundred yards away from where I live on Gleadless Valley
  2. Button Lane started just at the back of where Debenhams is now and ran to Fitzwilliam St.
  3. It was built in either 1960 or 1961 as I used to frequent the place.
  4. I've only seen Adrian once and that was at the Far Lees Pub on Gleadless Valley and I was lucky enough to get one of his C.Ds. its fantastic.
  5. Just go on to http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk and just type ten pin bowling in the search box and on one of the outside pictures of the Intake Alley it states that it was the first alley circa 1960
  6. I'm sure the one down Intake was the first.
  7. Id had enough of it all two minutes after she want into her £12,000 stay room.
  8. Women look revolting with tattoos as do men who's body is very nearly covered in them. I saw a bloke today covered in them his arms his legs he even had his name Kev tattooed on the back of his neck, why? I would love to see them when they are in their sixties and seventies.
  9. I think LEECH is appropriate name to match its relatives.
  10. I suppose you mean Chrome PLATERS,I don't think they did Enamelling,I knew several people who worked there, Tony Dylla, Frank Beckiz, Derek Denton, Graham Lee, plus others, the first two were Polish and what great men they were. Sippels also had lots of green card workers, these were disabled in some way BUT they were excellent workers and did their fair share of production. One of Sippels greatest lines was the Apostle Spoon of which they produced millions.
  11. On Thursday last a "Mother?" got on the 47 bus to town at the Spotswood Road bus stop, she had a child in a push chair plus a young boy of around three, she stayed down because of the pram but she let the little boy go up stairs on his own, he was sitting on the shelf of the front window and when the bus accelerated going down Gleadless Rd he was thrown on the floor, His Mother ? shouted up "you ok babe?" he replied he was, but he proceeded to climb all over and stood up on the seats. Now if this child had fell down stairs or what ever the useless Mother would have blamed the bus driver, I've also seen parents, I use that term very lightly, letting young children precede the parents down the stairs on the bus, if the driver had to brake or accelerated slightly the child would be thrown down stairs. its time children under seven should not be allowed on the top deck.
  12. I would definitely take it further, hand deliver a letter of intention to the Manager. My friend had the exact same symptom's as your husband, and for some idiot to assume he was drunk is total lack of awareness by the doorman.
  13. The 51 used to go up Hurlfield Hill and terminated on Norton Avenue, more or less opposite the Florists. Then its route was extended and terminated at the top of Leighton Rd near the old Peoples home
  14. Why is it that people think its the bus driver that's always at fault, its the traffic that dictate his route time, what's he do if there's a traffic jam? press a button and jet up and fly over the problem.As for waiting at the bus stop he may be due a few minutes rest. Just think things out and see the whole picture, your bus is not the only bit of traffic on our congested roads.
  15. Why didn't you do what they would have done in the same situation? PLAY THE RACIST CARD!
  16. Water and feed it. Its takes a lot to kill grass roots.
  17. I think this was not a pub, it was just a bar in the Hotel and the Kings Arms and the Athol were pubs long before the Dive Bar came into existence. ---------- Post added 09-07-2013 at 10:17 ---------- This pub was built somewhere in the 50s or 60s whereas the Kings Arms And the Athol had very long lives over hundred years each and that's what I was meaning not the new pubs that sprang up after I stopped drinking in Town.
  18. The revolving door was one of only two in Sheffield pubs, the other was in the Athol on the corner of Charles St, the pubs still there but its a slot machine place. The Kings Arms was a Higsons pub, they were a Liverpool Brewery, its logo was a cut out barrel in the shape of an "H"
  19. It was the KINGS ARMS not the Kings Head King's Arms 12 Commercial Street Open 1825 Closed 1973 Span 148
  20. You have the wrong building, the Original Golden Ball on Townhead St was demolished, you are thinking of the replacement on the corner of Vicar Lane and Campo Lane.
  21. The Golden Ball was on Townhead St, I used to go in in the sixties, Eadon Lockwood & Riddle did have offices on the site but they moved and I cant say who now occupies the site. The Ball was a lovely old pub and didn't deserve to be demolished.
  22. It was quite annoying listening to Southerner Jeremy Clifford spouting as to why the Green Un was being put to bed for good. I can see the Star going the same way, despite what Editor Mr Clifford says the Star has lost a good deal of its readers because of changes instigated by the company that own the paper. Most of the Reporters haven't a clue about Sheffield and are totally unaware of the dross that's been written by them.
