lazyherbert Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Do you remember the snooker halls that were all over Sheffield in the 50s-60s 70s.The ones I remember were Fitzpatrick & Longley on Ladys Bridge,the one opposite the Roscoe Cinema (don`t know it`s name)& the one at the top of Wood lane which I think is still there.Where did you play?

buck Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 There was one under the Abbeydale cinema, a bit high class, and one at the Heeley end of Broadfield road, definitely not upper class. Cost me many a tanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me many a tanner. Used them both on the way home from school We were always kicked out of the one under the Abbeydale when they opened the bar My mother never understood why I got so much detention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived on Glen Road right next to Abbeydale Elementary School, which I attended till I went to Nether Edge Grammar. I latrer lived on Arthur Road just up from the Abbeydale Cinema. Uswed to spend time in the drink shop next door, getting sloshed on sasparilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yes Buck - we lived on Kearsley road and I too went to Nether Edge, left July 1956. Used the herbalist drinks shop a lot - mostly Saturday mornings after an early session at Heeley baths, although it was usually hot Vimto on those occasions.
