neill_g Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Button Lane used to run from Thomas Street through to the bottom of Cambridge Street at Moor Head off which also came Carver Street and South Street (The Moor). It was demolished around 1963 to make way for Charter Row, a rump being left (but since erased) close to Stokes Tiles on Moore Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fareast Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 There was also a Somali-run cafe on Button Lane in the late 1950 's [ I think the same family had a similar one on Matilda Street at about that time too ]. We used to call in one or the other quite regularly, especially on the way home from the fair on Granville Road. Not many places open after 10.30 p.m. in Sheffield in those days !
