Andymiller Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Just found this site which has brought back many memories. I started at Firth Park in 1968, eventually working in most of the Sheffield stores, Stavely, Rotherham and finally finishing at Wombwell in 1973. I remember particularly Bill Faloona and his "office"-The Homestead pub just down rhe road. Also remember Roger Coker,a real gent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycarter Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Andy, I remember Bill Folluna very well and for about six months in 1970 I managed the Stag Rondabout store prior to emigrating to Australia. I also worked at Fine Fares in Woodseats, Crookes, Attercliffe, Parsons Cross and Firth Park (With both Roger Coker and Rod Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymiller Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi,Andy.Yes you are quite right Andy,you did run me home to Wath once. The photo of Marshall Grove was close to where I lived on Riley Road.Moved a time or two since - Rotherham,Wakefield and now Doncaster. Left FF for Hillards early in 1973 but didn`t like it and joined the Prison Service in October that year. Very nice to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unregistered Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 "Fine Fare started in 1956 with just one supermarket in Brighton. By 1962 it had 200 outlets. It was acquired by Associated British Foods in 1963, who sold it to the Dee Corporation in 1986 and re-branded as Gateway Stores. Dee Corp eventually became Somerfield."

mike-s Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I can remember the day the Gleadless town end branch opened, but not the year, probably late 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymiller Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi,Terry. Best job I had at Firth Park was working in the off-licence they bought in Bellhouse Road before they moved it into the supermarket.That would have been about 1971.Spent many an hour in there talking to the girl from the laundrette over the road. Happy days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
