fleetwood Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi all - Used to frequent the Astoria Ballroom at the corner of Staniforth Rd and Attercliffe, it was over the 50bob or Burtons (?). Had some good times there, are the buildings still there? Or is it all different now? fleetwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleetwood Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi all - If the Palace Attercliffe is still standing, what might it be presently or what did it become after it's demise as a live entertainment establishment? My Dad loved live theatre and took me to a few shows there over the years. fleetwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleetwood Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) It's nearly on topic and it happened in Attercliffe, anyway it's to do with the Palace Attercliffe which I have already mentioned before and my infrequent visits there. A comedian was on the roster and not faring too well with the audience, he cracked a gag (long forgotten) which got a few little titters but one audience member above all the rest laughed out loud, now the comedian was able to use one of his stored ad libs I suppose and said, 'thank you sir, I knew you were in somewhere, but I didn't know where you were'. Obviously it went down very well and I've always remembered it. A short time after that cut to a bus ride from town on the upper deck with a friend of mine (and mind I am not a good joke teller), I proceeded to tell him the whole rigmarole with the guy finishing up his gag 'thank you sir...... ......where you were'. My pal laughed and laughed (made me feel good), I'm getting off at my stop and my friend is going around to the terminus where we are meeting up later. he eventually told me he couldn't supress his laughter on the bus, with rest of the passenger's wondering what the hell was wrong with him. Anyway it was funny at the time. fleetwood Edited July 17, 2017 by fleetwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterR Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Hi All, Below is a pic of the Adelphi on Vicarage Road taken recently by member brian1941, followed by one from Picture Sheffield in July 1980..... https://photos.app.goo.gl/stBQWpIRG1VXWsRr1 http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s01467&prevUrl= Here is another pic from Picture Sheffield showing the Adelphi and another building next to it at the corner with Attercliffe Road..... http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;u08524&prevUrl= We have a question. Can anyone tell us what this 'other' building was originally and if it still stands?. I've seen it described as Burtons elsewhere but think this may be incorrect as there was a Burtons at the corner of Attercliffe Road and Staniforth Road in the building shown here... http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;c04592&prevUrl= Regards, Peter.
