Johnsworld Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Can anyone remember the Pavillion Pictures on Atterclife Common? It probably stood somewhere near where the current poilce staion is. I remember in the 60's going on a Saturday, not sure if it was morning or afternoon. Always full of excited kids - no parents. Think there was always 'Mask of Zorro' or 'The Lone Ranger' something like that. All the kids got really excited when it came on. Come on, some one out there must know some history of the place, please share it as I have some really good but vague memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perplexed Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't know much about it, but it is a shame to see the building falling into disrepair. I remember going years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alemap Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 i think pavillion picture house would have been fifty /100 yards further on from where police station is now. it was opposite Liverpool st, a bank was on one corner and secondhand shop on the other corner,a few yards further down was a remembrance garden i think its still there today as hilltop something or other it is over grown looking at it on google earth from the road side.

11plus Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My old Mum was a 'torchy' at 'The Pav' in the late 40's! What about The Adelphi, near to Attercliffe Baths and The Regal at the bottom of Staniforth Rd.The 'delphi didn't have Saturday kids shows though! Do you remember the yo-yo contests?

My Grandma worked at the Adelphi....21 years she was there as an usherette. She came home one night to find that she'd been burgled while she was at work. The shock made her ill and she never recovered and died soon after. I watch every antique, flog it type of programme that is ever shown from Sheffield on the off chance that I might see something I recognise. Main thing that got nicked though was a pile of the old white fivers and some gold sovereigns. She had put her wages for the 21 years in a shopping bag and had lived just off her widows pension.....
