sweetdexter   10 #121 Posted May 19, 2016 'Shaw's Cafe' was run by former United and England footballer Graham Shaw, with his brother (name I forget) but not other brother Bernard who also played for the Blades, Wolves and Wednesday.  I always thought Graham Shaw started out as a Painter working for T.G.

andrejuan   10 #122 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) It's 'Tailoress' andrejuan, a correct name-also 'Seamstess' for which ladies of that genre are and I'm sure your Gran was a 'lady'.  Sorry my typo.  I had heard her referred to as both, although I believe it is Seamstress.

GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #128 Posted February 10, 2017 At the end of the 50s, short skirts were starting to come in. Previously we'd only shopped at C & A. What shops for teenagers were there in Sheffield end of the 50s/early 60s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Billam   10 #129 Posted February 10, 2017 I mentioned this at post 36. It was Andrews on Holly Lane, certainly in the 1950s. Ground floor was art/craft supplies but upstairs was the bookshop. I used to haunt the place, absolutely loved just being there and sometimes actually had a book token or money from birthday/Christmas so I could buy a book, usually Chalet School or Swallows and Amazons. It wasn't "just" an academic book shop. Somewhere on Sheffield Forum there is a thread or at least some posts about the closure of Andrews and I'm pretty certain a mention that the staff put up a notice saying if people had bought from them instead of Amazon, they wouldn't have closed.  I attended Woodseats School, I was awarded book tokens twice for good results, you had to go to Andrews and pick the books they then delivered them to school for prize giving.
