susie1 Â Â 10 #4 Posted December 30, 2014 Change alley ran from high street to norfolk street,below mulberry street. Â Yes, that's my recollection too. On the right hand side going towards Norfolk Street were the premises of Burnett and Hallamshire, Coal Merchants. The walls inside were painted with murals of Old King Cole. I used to go there with my mum to order coal. I think there was a cafe just before B&H's offices. On the left hand side near the junction with Norfolk Street, the Girls' Life Brigade had their "equipment stores", run by the Misses Greensmith, on one of the upper floors of a multiple occupancy building. I used to go there quite often with my aunt, Nellie Sanders, a GLB leader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dreb48 Â Â 35 #5 Posted December 30, 2014 Is my memory playing tricks on me or was there a small toy shop ( Westons?) on Change Alley near the Norfolk St end ? Think they sold prams downstairs then you went up a narrow staircase where I remember buying Dinkys and toy soldiers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   27 #10 Posted December 31, 2014 I seem to remember the YEB offices being in Change Alley. Am I right?Yes, the buildings in Change Alley were demolished in 1964-65 to make way for Arundel Gate. For a few years in the early 1960s the YEB's Arundel Gate building was on the corner of Change Alley. Here is a link to a picturesheffield.com photo. In case it's of interest, here is a scan from the 1954 Kelly's Directory showing businesses etc. in Change Alley.

IRONMONGER Â Â 10 #11 Posted December 31, 2014 Re: me-and-pippo Enjoyed the pictures, now the fourth one (Y02924) shows the premises of Thomas Ashton on one corner and a shop sign beginning with a C on the other. This shop was the Thonton's Candy Cabin, which I believe was the first ever shop opened by Thornton's. Incidentally Thos. Ashton moved down onto Sidney Street.
