When did Games Workshop move to Fitzwilliam Gate?

Recommended Posts

I remember it used to be on The Moor near where Greggs is now. When did it move to Fitzwilliam Gate?

I would have thought about the late 80s, maybe 87-88?

Google Street View has photo's of Fitzwilliam Gate going back to 2011 and it's there that year, it's been there as long as I can remember

I used to love the experience of Traveling on the bus from Woodsetts to Games Worksop in Sheffield starting in 1985 when I was only 9yr old.  I can remember the short move round the corner to Fitzwilliam gate.  - I am certain it happened in early 1989.  I can remember my dad taking me in the Fitzwilliam one in June 1990 and the store manager Rick said to us 'You have just missed Brian May!' ....Brian was a GW fan and had been helping a small band produce a CD of GW themed music.

I would have said late 80's, but just checked some old copies of White Dwarf and it appears to have moved between Nov and Dec 1990. Am I imagining it or did it move back to the Moor for a bit, or were both open at the same time for a while?
