yorkscot Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Does anybody remember where 'the rads' was? Were there another centres/facilities like this in the area? On a street somewhere on the left hand side of the Rotherham to Sheffield road, before Banners. Bloke I was apprentice to made me deliver a leather bag that ticked, every day to the Rad then my dad told me I was a bookies runner. That was 60 years ago, that was when I thought politicians were Honourable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimay Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Does anybody remember where 'the rads' was? Were there another centres/facilities like this in the area? The rads was on Staniforth Road. You had to walk under an arch to get to the club. In the 60's I spent many a Sundy lunch time in the rads with my dad. I remember 'playing' house on used house sheets, bottles of vimto and packets of crisps with the salt in a twist of blue paper. I also remember another wmc called 'The Non Pots' (short for non-political I think). I think the rads is a car park now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum was a barmaid there for a short time in the 60's. I have fond memories of both the rads and the non pots (and Attercliffe in general).

skippy Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I used to go to the Little Victory Club years ago, it was on Beverley St or in that area, it was like 2 houses knocked into one, they had entertainment most weekends, and the people were a very friendly bunch.
