Joanl Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I don't know about the carpet mill now but on Attercliffe Road it used to be Pavillion and Globe, both cinemas and the Palace, which was more or less opposite the Church and had live shows. The Adelphi was on Vicarage Road and was the next one up from Newhall Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is it the adelphi (soz about spelling) Wasn't the Adelphi on the other side of Attercliffe Road, Busman, on Vicarage Road? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Vicarage+Road,+Sheffield&hl=en&ll=53.396298,-1.428781&spn=0.001036,0.004721&sll=53.395735,-1.430197&sspn=0.002297,0.006765&oq=vicarage+road,+Sheffield&hnear=Vicarage+Rd,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=53.396297,-1.4298&panoid=EiVhcjjPGam9Om2uw5YF_g&cbp=11,218.89,,0,-25.27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
