lindbarn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi This is my first visit to the Sheffield Forum. My friend and I have been trying to think of the name of a coffee bar that used to be on Union Street in the 60's. It was out of bounds for pupils at the central tech. I seem to remember it was a downstairs venue. If anyone has any recollection of this place please let us know and put us out of our misery!!

Was situated at the bottom of Cambridge Arcade Just below the Empire Theatre stage door. I think it gained a bit of a bad reputation, after some item in the News of the World and was closed down shortly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
