hillsbro Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi Ten ten - I also seem to remember this shop, and directories from the 1960s show "Percival Hartley, herbalist" at 340 South Road, between Freedom Road and Carr Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw47 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Don't know if this has been posted before, if so my apologies. If you go on Google Earth, type in Abbeydale Cinema Sheffield, and then use the street view yellow man you can navigate down the road toward town from the cinema. Three shops down on the right there's an antique shop. There's a Volvo estate parked outside. If you look at the bottom section under the window with the red door propped up against it you can make out the words ' Temperance Bar' slightly obscured by a chair. That's where the Abbeydale sarsaprilla bar was. Had a few in there when I was a Lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) .... If you look at the bottom section under the window with the red door propped up against it you can make out the words ' Temperance Bar' slightly obscured by a chair....My goodness you're right!...Here is a photo. I also remember having the odd glass of sarsparilla there in the 1960s. Directories from the 1940s show the business as "Ernest Phillipson, herbalist" while by 1953 it was "William E. & Leonard Phillipson, herbalists". The 1965 directory shows "G.E. Bridges, herbalist", and 1971-73 "C. de Donno, herbalist". Edited February 14, 2014 by hillsbro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory it was very small with a counter/bar just a few feet from the window? Also..... is it just me or did we always have to go up two steps into shops on there, have the pavements been raised over the years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
