Brian White Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yes, I remember it. It was one of the first restaurants in the city. Soon after came many more, but up till then, Sheffield people didn't eat out much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 One thing I did used to enjoy in the 60s was walking to school on a cold winters morning and smelling all the smoke that was coming out of everybodys chimneys. It used to blow all over the place on breezy days, it was a smell I used to actually look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopT Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I miss the Norfolk Market Hall with all the fresh flowers and the excellent Stamp shop in the middle. Entering there was like entering a large cathredral but with a freshness which I cannot describe, maybe it was the flowers and the constant use of the stone water fountains by the florists Philip Cann's music shop at the top of Dixon Lane. it had steep steps down into it, Big Ada had her stall almost in front of it. The many 'Barrow Boys' who had their barrows precariously parked on the hill with their weighing scales dubiously balanced due to the incline, they brought the lane to life not lifeless as it is today. There was the Broken Biscuit Company in the Hall but as kids we never bought them as we used to pinch Aniseed dog biscuits that stood in open sacks outside Oates Pet Shop outside the Hall. The Cowshed's Pub underneath the Market with its polished copper covered round tables. The Pet's corner in the Rag and Tag Market, The brass weighing scales, Edwards the Pot Man, Dixon's Boiled Spice just inside the market selling Lemon Drops, Spice Fish, Pear Drops and Humbugs. Ormoids Magical Elixor a cure for all medical complaints. Johnny (Cox's?) cheapest fruit and veg in the market near the doorway opposite South Street. The huge 101 year old Rat that was caught when they pulled down the old wooden buildings of the fruit market. Happy Days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuit Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Going into Wilson Pecks and dreaming of owning a grand piano - sorted...well a baby grand is close enough The various clubs and pubs on a Saturday nights (early 80s) and during the weekdays with their theme nights. The town was buzzing.. Hanging around with mates up town.. Somehow, a group of people messing around did not seem threatening... Loads of activities put on at the parks during the summer holidays...
