Thats right I went to Ellesmere and Burngreave

I remember it a bit from the early eighties a real iconic place. I remeber people ****ing a about Tony Knowles being in there Who???? he won the world snooker Chapionship around 1979/80 or 81 I'm sure someone will put me right. It had a really strict dress code Jacket and Tie type thing unheard of now days

Bet you didn't take much dragging:hihi: :hihi:

My wife knows of a Bagshaw family who lived in the Shirecliffe area if you need any more info let me know

I knew a Bagshaw family they owned a sweetshop/grocers on Sutherland Rd back in the seventies

Your old when your not devastated about not going to a club at the end of the night.. when you can't bare to to Que to get in said club... when you start saying things like ''said club'' your old when you remember a particular club being a particular club which no one else seems to remember.. when you know the Police are younger and not looking younger.. when school teachers look like school kids.. when Door men are no longer intimidating but look like people who want help.. when bus drivers don't look old enough to have a license... when ''it's to noisy..'' when the young girls look to cold instead of "yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when horse play is no longer amusing

I didn't know it went back that far. I went there in the late seventies to early eighties and thought it was brill it kept me off the streets

Pitsmoor Camera By JR Wrigley is the book to buy for all persons who have memories of the Ellesmere Area

How about Carole Hunt she was a science teacher i believe

It's now used by Sheffield Boxing centre among other things it also has a dance school and a community learning centre..

Hi there Elaine I went to Ellesmere Primary in the seventies. Two sisters called Joanne and Michelle Roebuck attended at the same time they lived near Burngreave school...............

Yes that's the area I'm from but I Used to play on the Rec as a young Lad. I bet you know a lot of people I knew like the Mathewson's (Trev And Julie) the Campbell's(sigory and Winky) and the Belgraves (Jasper and John) and probably more I met most of these guys when I went to Herries

Yes I believe so if you mean An Industrial Camera, A Hillsborough Camera etc........

I Don't really want to be advertising but if you have have any interest in old Pitsmoor you'd do well to have a look at Pitsmoor Camera Picture Memories JR Wrigley.

Does anyone have any memories of the this grand building? I always remember it in the the seventies being used for many a wedding reception

I Went to Herries from 1976 - 1981 Does anyone remember the Air Dome with it's air lock quite funny when it went down, cutting edge really if the vandals would have let it be...............

I went to a brilliant night of professional boxing last night.Thanks to Glyn Rhodes Promotins.Four great bouts from the Hillsborough based gym. First off was Lee Edwards know as ''Brown Sugar'' who stayed in control from start to finish before knocking his opponent down in the sixth then stopping his opponent, in the same round. Next up was Dwane ''The Hurricane'' Hill. He put in a great performance against the vastly more experienced fighter to come out a convincing winner. This was followed up by the come back kid Reagan Denton who again put in a solid performance to come out on top. Top of the bill John ''The fire Ball'' Fewkes was fighting for The Central Area Light Welter Weight Title, against the Holder Tony Montana of the Brendan Ingle Gym.This was the second meeting of the two where Fewkes came out top back in Oct 05.After Montana took the fight at short notice.This time Montana had more time to prepare.which would on paper provide a much sterner challenge for Fewkes over ten rounds, uncharted territory for Fewkes. After a quiet first round John Fewkes took command of the fight, out punching out muscling and out thinking Montana in every department. Pushed on by a massive partisan crowd.Fewkes pressed on despite a bad gash above his right eye to come out a convincing winner and new central Area champ Great night

Hi there there's some really unhelpful people around. I know a John Brown (pretty common name) he's between 46 50

Have a look at Sheffield Icons and check it's response

As I remember it. It was called studio 5,6,7. and it showed XXX rated films......I was was only about ten at the time so never got to see any of them. But I did go and see Disney's Cinderella when I was really Young. And my parents telling how people queued to see the Sound of Music.1965 I think

I'm no Charlie Church but it was a grand building now confined to history Christians or not

There was a large community on Penistone Road in around the Hillsborough Park/ Bassetts area right up Owlerton Stadium..........Think back????????

The hole in the road was a great icon demolished, got rid of, removed by Sheffield council in the name of progress I'm sure many of u remember the Fish Tank a favourite with young and old and a great meeting place. Other great building have also been removed by our council in the name of progress. The wedding cake registry Office for instance, St Paul's now the site of The Peace Gardens.Aswell as buildings, communities were devastated in the name of progress Such as Ellesmere, Heeley and Hillsborough to name a few replaced by Kelvin flats Hyde Park, Norfolk Park and Pye Bank and other's which some of are no in existence now (progress)
