hazel Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I used to go there in the late 50's the landlord at that time came from a pub that was near the City Hall, can't remember the name but Forresters rings a bell. He brought with him his record collection of Louis, Ella, Frankie, Sarah, Peggy Lee and more. It was the first time I saw candles in bottles and I have evocative memories of the Old Harrow and walking home on soft barmy evenings with the intoxicating smell of nightscented stock around, my head full of songs sung by the best. Seven stone twelve and age about 19 the world was mine, if only I had realised it. The Azena dance hall was built about then and the Old Harrow would be visited in the interval, one mad dash by the men to get to the bar first. But lingering in my mind are September evenings in the dusk. hazel Edited March 1, 2011 by hazel spelling plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trastrick Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Some old bells rung there, Slinny and Hazel. The walk to the owd arrer was a favorite back in the day. We working lads dressed in our one good (but always made to measure) suit, and if it wasn't a stroll down the Moor, another favorite on Sunday, we'd be up there. "Seven stone twelve and age about 19 the world was mine, if only I had realised it." 10 stone 7, and we thought we were the cat's meow. The one (or two) late closing time pubs was also a big deal, back then. Forget which they were. With no cars, we walked everywhere, and enjoyed it. Up and down those Sheffield hills was good practice for later in life. I can still walk miles, as long as there are no big hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
