Frankie Rage Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Anybody used to work there? I was an all night shelf-filler for about a year (Wed, Thurs, Fri nights) about 1973/4. There were about 12 of us on the shift. Dave the supervisor, Geoff, Bill (I think), Magic Tony, Jerry the jazz pianist, Mick and a few others. We used to have a lovely "lunch" in the middle of the night with Hillards finest produce for about 12p each! Also, I remember a few cage races around the aisles. Also there was a conveyor belt with metal rollers to bring stuff up from the basement warehouse that we used to abuse dreadfully.. I remember one time when Magic Tony brought in his full kids magic show and gave us a show (maybe at Christmas I'm not sure) he was so funny.. A great time of my life that. I was 19 then!!!

maryjane Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I loved Hillards, I used to go with my mum every week, there was a free bus that took you and we used to look round the adjoining shop while we waited for it, it was like a day out!!

handypandy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I remember Hillards, i also seem to recall a supermarket before that at Manor Top, here go's with a guess of what it was called, New World ? anyone agree? New World was on Wortley Road near Kimberworth. There was a night club next door where "comedian" Norman ( swingin/ dodgy) Vaughn went down like a lead balloon and vowed never to work in the area again. He was sorely missed (not).

Blade73 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 My mum reckon's she nearly gave birth to my youngest brother in there, that'd be 1976. And same here that building is still reffered to as Hillards by the family. In fact Sheffield Lane Top Library was/is in that building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
