Could have been the pub on Tinsley Park Rd, think it was called the Friendship?

Thanks everyone, must admit I still can't remember it. My son has a much better memory than me! I'll have to let him know all of your answers.

My son says that he remembers me taking him to a model railway shop that was up some stairs above a shop, somewhere around Meadowhead. I cannot recall it at all, it would be in the 1980's. Can anyone help?

Had many in the Burgoyne Arms. Raided a few times, drinks quickly down the sink only for the police to come in and have a look to see who was in (looking for any on their wanted list).

My cousin occasionally sang for Bernard Taylor, must have perhaps filled the spot when asked. He also did the WMC's. His name was Vic Gummer.

Could well be, I did have some doubt because its a 126 year old photo, past its prime but yes its wesl and not west. Many thanks for your help in clearing it up. Thanks but I was looking at Brunswick st, not road. Surprised they shut schools down then!

Help needed here please. I have a school class photo with my nan aged about 9 on it which is taken in the school yard. Behind the children, chalked on a blackboard is what looks to be "Brunswick west school, June 1896". The 1901 census has her living on Ellin st, which isn't far from Bruswick st, but I can't can't see any school. I've checked the 1905 map as well.

The Stones certainly played the city hall, got the programme somewhere, think it would have been around 1965.

It was called the Prelude club. It also did Monday nights.

I remember back in the early1970's when I attended Stannington college, one of our lecturers Jim Biford I think his name was lived at a cafe on the Snake Pass. Presumably this cafe had a house attached or close by. He used to tell us he had a shotgun and when any undesirables were around after dark, a warning shot in the air soon made them disappear!

I the late 1950's when I was only 7 or 8 I used to go in with my mum and one of the things I'll always remember of the the place was the tanoy. The sound of a womans voice saying something like "will Mr so and so go to such such department"

A pint of Stones, some live entertainment and being able to hug and give a handshake.

Hi, back in the early 70's I used to know some girls who lived there. Penny, Sally and I think Kath, they were all born around 1956/7.

I remember walking from Pond St. as a teenager to the Heartbeat disco and walking past the old entrance to the Motorail when an American couple stopped me and asked where the "monorail " was. I must have looked a bit perplexed and they pointed up to the sign, then I realised they had misread motorail for monorail.

There was a Mike Damms who was in charge of the laboratory at Millspaugh in the 60's and 70's. He'd have been in his 40's then.

Likewise echo beach. We had a caravan at Chapel St Leonards, 1957 till 1968 ish and would often stop on the way back at the Bridge inn. Indeed happy and more easy days.

It was opposite side of the road to the Bridge Inn, left hand side going to Skegness. It was stood in a door way on the pavement with a small porch roof above its head.

You're probably thinking of the stuffed brown bear at Dunham bridge on the way to Skegness. I think it was pinched by Sheffield students on a ragweek stunt and never returned.

I hope someone can help with more information/date. Thanks for that Re-enactor.

Thanks, definately around this time though I must have been wrong about the security guard being implicated.

Can anyone recall a wages snatch from a Sheffield company in the late 1970's. The security guard was knocked out but it turned out he was part of plot. Somehow I'm thinking the company may have been Tyzacks but I could be wrong. Just trying to put a date to it .

Tony Currie used to go in with John Hope, I saw them there a couple of times and I wasn't a regualar patron. Wasn't the club owned by one of the large entertainment groups, not Rank but the name escapes me.

That's the one. Somehow presumed they were a Sheffield company, must say the quality was first class.
