dont know about a pub I always thought it was a fruit and veg shop down attercliffe!!!!!!!

sorry nimrod the old sign is underneath the gold room sign,mike brammall in the shop has info which I gave him and probably some photos.

its great being an old git,you can stink of pee get on the poor excuse for buses in sheffield for free,get in everwhere cheaper,negotiate good discounts playing the poor pensioner card cheap carveries,sit outside john lewis and watch the yuppies rushing about and working thier butts off to pay my pension and saving all that money on the previously mentioned to fill my Harley up and tear around winding everyone up.living as long as I can to make the kid wait for his inheritance if theres any left!!!!!!!!!

Swann-Mortons were started on Woodland St and I think The Victoria and Wood land were at the bottom at Langsett rd end. Tel boy, are you the Terry Clayton who played at the Fiesta?

It really does stink,it ought to be replaced by a stall selling mussells and whelks,winkles,tripe and cowheel I bet all the yuppies wont be rushing there to spend there easy money on rubbish.

when Iwas at longley school in the fourties/fifties Miss chappel the head teacher she would cane me and i would scream but she never won I was still a bad lad.The teachers at shirecliffe played the same game,they also lost Mrs Brennan used to slipper me and my mate Terry every day,I think thats how she got her jollies.I once got six of the best from Arther Siddall for taking the new putty out of the windows and sticking it on kids heads,you have never seen as many kids with bald patches,and to top it all he caned me on the stage in front of the whole school,by ,did my street cred go up!!!

I think Sandor Levi used to have the garage at the corner of Green lane and Shiregreen lane.Ken Middleditch lived near blandford forum and had a fabulous colection of bikes.I called at his house and Eric Hockaday was there we only went for an hour and stayed all day,he was a pal of a friend of mine Eric Stead.
