headup Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I had relatives who used to live right opposite Hillsborough park on the Penistone Road side, though obviously not as close to the Wednesday ground as you were. I think they live on't cross now like you. I can't really remember what was there before the big leisure centre was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tradescanthia Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I remember them making "Threads" in the Beulah Rd area. Fooled me once, smoke flames, blood, bandages, people staggering around. They were using old derelict streets as a filmset. The old Royal Infirmary was used as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
