Your memories of Sheffield past.

[Treatment 10]

It was. In the late 60s a trad jazz band played upstairs on Friday nights. I used to play sometimes.

 

. . . and the Sheffield Branch of BLESMA used to have their meetings in the back room.

The Foresters, across from the fire station, Alexander Brennan Insurance brokers, at the side of the fire station, The Rickshaw Chinese restaurant, across from the green area and Mitchell and Challenge, where The Forum is.

Applebaums and Hartley Seeds have jogged my memory, the cash transfer system was called Lamson Tubes, my grandmother used to mention Woofes, I'm obviously a bit young for the others, that's why folk like you are priceless on a thread like this. If Happyhippy would be so kind as to have a word with my grandad, CHAIRBOY and Albert T Smith this thread would be mega.

That would be T.G. Woofe if I remember correctly. My uncle worked there

Wasn't there a pikelet shop on Division St.

After school we used to stand and watch them being made and then eat them while still hot.

Back in the 60s A shop name on westfield terrace always made me smile, it was called Boosey and Hawkes,it was opposite the entrance to the Royal hospital,I think it was something to do with musical instruments.

I recall going past the Rickshaw there used to be quite a few curio/antique shops.

 

Any offers guys on another street, if you're not sick and tired by now that is.
