mr_blue_owl Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The Indian in Fitzalan Square was the Indus!! To my eternal shame, the Indus is the only restaurant I have ever "done a runner" from, only then as part of a group of guys. It has been on my conscience for the last thirty years!

A mate of mine (chops) fell asleep in the bog and hadn't enough cash to settle the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babs2307 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 what about Alpines, they delivered pop right to the door. I don't know if they are still going. We used to go mental for the dandelion and burdock. doesn't taste the same now though. Also who remembers the Rex cinema at the bottom of Mansfield & Hollinsend road.

Yellowrose Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I adored Sheffield in the 70s and would love to revisit it, go back in time, if that was possible. I would spend the day going round all the clothes shops I used to visit, Jean Genie, Chelsea Girl, Pippy's, then have a brief pub crawl starting at the Wap and finishing at the Albert, then into the City Hall to see a decent gig. The bit I wouldnt want to do is pelt down to pond street at 10.30 to catch my last bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
last orders Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 What about the Pump Tavern off the back of the Moor. It did great meat and potatoe pie and cumberland sausage and you could allways help yourself from a bowl full of onions and cucumber in vinigar!

swanny Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I've really enjoyed reading all the above and taking a trip down Memory Lane. I remember almost all of the places mentioned but also remember 'The Broadway' (underneath Timpsons the shoe shop on High St). Sometimes when I'm walking around Sheffield I get a flashback of the past. Quite a few times when I'm walking down High Street I expect to see 'The hole in the Road' and when I'm walking down the Moor I remember the underground passage leading from Pinstone Street to The Moor. (Funny how the old brain works!!!) I wondered if this happened to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Some interesting points, as a kid I remember Redgates and the fish in the tank in the hole-in-the road. The water was often that green you couldn’t see them, but still had to have a look, and who can forget the 2p bus fare, I was gutted when I had to pay full fare, 12p.

I remember when the Newcastle supporters smashed the glass of the tank, water all over the place but the fish some how survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
