Late Night Fry Ups In Sheffield

[lazyherbert]

In my 'clubbing' days during the 70's we all used to end up at Neepsend Nora's - this was an old lorry which had been converted into a burger bar.

 

It was sited on some spare land down at the bottom of Corporation Street and Mowbray Street.

 

At 2:00 in the morninig it had a real mixture of clientele - all the disco kids - taxi drivers - coppers - and the odd Merc, BMW, etc cus it was the 'cool thing' to do

 

Huge Sausage and Tomato breadcake - mug of Hot Chocolate - then taxi home, happy days..

Yes we used to get sandwiches from there when we were on night at woodheads.

LOL i don't recall the barbed wire roof but it was a ropey old van. I used to set off for Vera's on many nights from the Crazy daisy night club but I didn't always find it due to my head and my legs having an argument. I spent a few hours wandering the black streets looking for a "cheg burger with out the egg" ... she always said "why dont you just order a cheese burger". I guess cheg burger without the egg just sounded better.

 

Thanks again m8. David

 

As I recall it was Manto who invented the cheg burger he also invented the MM special although I ate many of them can't recall what was in 'em

We always referred to it as Greasey Vera's as well. Like a luton transit van but painted a nice shade of Tank green.

 

Always used to like the barbed wire on the roof!
