Hi Trevordnc. I spent most of my teenage years down Attercliffe, standing at the back of the 'Bendix' in the winter,where the steam pipes blew hot steam out and we would be chased off by old man Savage,the piano tuner who lived over his shop,when we got a little 'boistrous'

Yes Trev I used to "frequent" those pubs + Salutation, Gate, Hilltop, Tramcar,Golden Ball ( phew the list goes on ) but going back to Coleridge road school I think we were the only school to play all their football matches away, but Coleridge Road football team was a team that was feared by all the other schools, I later went to join the Youth club and spent many a happy hour there Playing Table Tennis snooker and they had a formidable five a side footbal team of which I was proud to play for .
