Hello - I heard about this recently, and that it was in Cambridge Street. Does anyone know anything about it please?

 

Thanks.

Do you have any idea when this might have been going?

 

   Shooting Saloons, or Gallery's  were quite common at one time, mainly travelling fairground types, but some were undoubtedly fixed.

   I've found a few in Sheffield mainly pre 1920...30 The Moor, one near Heeley Station, one on West Bar, and one on the Wicker in 1914 at No 93, known as Life Targets, where you could shoot at moving cinema targets of German soldiers...it seems to have been very popular, apparently they opened a large smoking room kitted out with fitments from a local cinema...it appears to have been going great guns (if you'll pardon the pun) in late 1915 but I can find no record after that.
