Geo-atkinson Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I went to The Swan chinese take away on the corner of Dutchess Road and queens road a couple of years ago before it changed it's name and ownership, and the old man that worked there told me he was the first person to open a chinese in Sheffield back around 1968.

lazarus Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) The photo of the menu for the Goldfish Bowl brings back memories, the Goldfish Bowl was mainly just chip shop but was bought by the Golden Dragon just round the corner on Matilda Street, they then started selling Chinese takeaways, I worked on Sidney Street in the 70s & 80s and I had several young lads working for me and Friday, pay day, we all had a Chinese from the Goldfish Bowl for us all. The Rickshaw seems to have been the first Chinese Restaurant in town in 1960/1 it was on the corner of Devonshire Street and Broomhall Street.

mr_blue_owl Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 When I lived in Hong Kong I moved into a rented house located in the far reaches of the New Territories. I was the only non-Chinese resident in the village. I spotted an elderly gentleman who looked like he might be an important member of the village community. Upon asking him how long he had lived there, he replied 'I don't live here, I own a chip shop in Sheffield' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
