Re: Who is from Yorkshire?
It amazes me that Sheffield built that hole in the road then filled it in for Trams... that hole was a brilliant idea...

Wow you worked just around the corner, Coles Bro's was a great store, I don't remember the balcony dropping at the Gaumont, (I left in Jan 76)...

Everyone used to meet their dates at the fish tank.
I just about remember trams crossing there before the hole in the road.

Re: Who is from Yorkshire?
Walsh's was the most expensive shop in Sheffield no doubt about it, I seem to think they got bought out by Harrods.
I do remember Cockaynes on Snig Hill just above the Cinema we spoke about, what about Atkinsons on the Moor, Redgates toy shop, it was massive, and Virgin Records, they had a small shop near the top of the moor, that was years before Branson became famous, I used to like Philip Canns on Chapel Walk, the Music store...
Id forgotten the fish tank but you are right, it was a meeting place, I remember the Trolley buses before that hole was dug... Oh Boyyyyy...
Other members of this thread have to be getting tired of us by now LOL, I sure hope others can share memories.

i,ll take a walk down town ,go and see the super owls ..a stroll down Ecclesall rd ,Rivelin a few beers 'wit lads' .......theres no place like home!Back next weekend, Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I wish I was, we used to go every year as my wife was a travel agent, but since 95 its every year or two or sometimes three...
Going to see the owls, Right on pal, I was a Sheff Wednesday fan too...
I lived on the outskirts of Sheffield (Beighton) but I've been down Ecclesall road more than a few times, its Lovely... My Grandma used to work in that area in the 1910-20s if you can believe that... A lady form this Forum just went back to that area, I sure hope she loves it...
Its nice for you to pop in, I was thinking Jersey and I were taking over... I didn't want to bore people, C-Mon Folks speak up, there has to be more Yorkshire connections out there, Enjoy your sen next weekend...

3 of my old schools were only a few miles away from the Wednesday ground. I used to date a boy whose parents owned the little sweet shop right by the back entrance on Leppings Lane.
