walt Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Saw my first ever film at the Pavilion in 1955. The Court Jester starring Danny Kaye. Walked all the way home to Grimesthorpe, seemed a long way when you were 5 years old. Wasn't it where Ice Sheffield is now located ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfork Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Joan, Which end of Leigh street, sheffield or rotherham. I remember a cinema bang opposite the end of Leigh street and i think it was called the Sunbeam, now demolished and taken up by the Sheffield sports center which is on Colridge road. Incidentally my father inlaw was the projectionist at the Adelphi for many years, his name was Wilf Moore. Southfork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh St came up from Liverpool Rd to Attercliffe common.....the Pav was at that end, on Attercliffe Common. My gran mentioned a few names from the 'delphi but can't recall a Wilf. She died in 1968 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauline Bell Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 My Mum worked in the pay box at the Pav. in the 40s she had a seating map and if you booked a seat she would put a cross on it. As I grew older in the fifties I had a few snogging sessions in the boxes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlshihgreen Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 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. Wasn't it at the bottom of Coleridge road junction with the Common?

Yes I rember the PAV....gone now, across the road on the corner was a Pawn Shop which had all sorts of things in the window, guitars, drums etc. Many a good time spent in the Pavillion........down the road a little towards sheffield was the Globe picture house. The manager used to wear black tuxedo with bow tie and stand in tyhe doorway to greet the patrons.....this was in the 50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecliffe Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Opposite end of Leigh St....I used to go to Saturday Morning Cinema. When it was my birthday once I went up on stage and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me and a couple others but I was the one that got to start the projecter and start the fil rolling...... When I walked off stage they all sang "I Married Joan" to me....remember that programme:?:Joan Davis I think it was. The song I married Joan I think was........'I married Joan, what a girl what a whirl what a wife etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
