JOGI Â Â 10 #15 Posted November 6, 2009 Yes that was the one. I went there at the age of three and it was probably around 1956 that I left. I had my wedding reception in the studio in Granville Road in 1957. My name was Coral Savage. I remember a Barbara Thornhill, (who was my bridesmaid) Dorothy and Maureen. Lovely to hear from you Coral Hi Coral. Your name of Savage has got my attention. My wife's maiden name is Margaret Ruth Savage aged 80. We married in March '55 shortly after meeting at the City Hall dances. (ex Tinsley girl) Some of the dates you mention parallel ours. Wonder if there's a family connection?. Regards.

WallBuilder   10 #22 Posted December 16, 2009 I remember the one underneath the old Abbeydale picture palace from the mid 60's it was a court school of dancing with Ken as the manager. In later years Ken bought the place and it became the Kay gee bee, possibly the best sprung ballroom floor in the city Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
carlray   10 #23 Posted June 6, 2010 Hi owlschick I think you will find it was Fred Holmes,my cousin was the deejay in the sixties his name was Jimmy Barker  It would be City Limits When owlschick would be going,they took over when Fred Holmes passed away. I usedto go there in the early fifties when it was Freds,I new Jimmy Barker. It must have been one of the most popular places in Sheffield for teenagers at that time it was the only place in Sheffield to allow bop to the top twenty records.
