Well I can't sleep Purdyamos- I know what you say. Problem is that so much of the contemporary surroundings for these momuments have gone for various reasons that what survives is difficult to place appropriately,

Thanks hard 2 miss. Will make enquiries

Good Night All - And So To Bed As Mr Pepys Said

What was that place up union street by side of the Nelsonthat sold loon pants?

I recollect seeing something on Wardsend Cemetery on a site called North West Sheffield News Online

Update on the Rivelin anyone?

Sue,

Didyou know the Whitelaw family?

Some of us do hitman [you aren't really are you?].That's been borne out by several thtreads on the Forum today.

All the best

Wards Bitter [or it was- you didn't smell it before you supped it]

Has Weatherspoons opened yet? New Pomana isn't a patch on the old one. There again its a different age group now- disapointed with Champs- Best establishment inthat area is the Lescar.

The pub on the crossroads past the Marquis- Travellers? And where was that late night cafe? We once went on a mid night hike from Marquis- balmy summer night and walked back to Sheffield and barn parties at Bolstertone and Cave do's in Winnats !

Cheers Steptoad- went in Dove and Rainbow other night- that was part of the Stonehouse circuit.

Cross Sythes and Fleur De Lys for the [female] student teachers - never any in when we went in ! Millhouses Hotel and Robin Hood. Yorkshire Bridge- lot of Bikers.

Sue,

Do you recollect when someone was killed in aroad accident on the Hathersage road outside the Marquis?

Remember Capstick and Cooke and the two lads from Barnsley one of whom died? Now there's Rony and the owd lad is still worth listening to. Toby Foster's ok too.

What time did the disco close then? remember the bloke with the cloak at the entrance ?

Jenny Ward from City Road worked in the Hotel Reception and married a lad called Eric Ramsdale. They banned strobe lights because they could cause fits in some people.

Golden Days- Fenoughtys used to have the swimming pool at the Rising Sun

Any one think the place ain't what it used to be -personally I think its gone down the nick since they ruined the Nursery but thats a long time ago- any older drinkers have any thoughts?

Karl,

You are a gent-many thanks- my information is from a book dated 1997-I will investigate and report back. May be they have gone to that great Council store 'from whose dark bourne no traveller returns.

Cheers

Sue ,

Carousel Bar in Waggon and Horses,Gay Paree Bar in Marples, what was that upstairs bar in the big building in Carver Street?

it was in Hammond Street playground - is that Upperthorpe? I'll go and look for it if anyone can give me directions.

What time was the last train back ? Remember the strobe lights? We went by car and used to stop off ata late night cafe out there for fried egg sandwiches. Golden days eh ?

Any memories of the above?

Remember the rock murals on the walls of the Whetstone? Used to serve nice plate pie.
