nickymouse Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 :bigsmile:Hi, My dad was projectionist and mum was an usherette at the Classic in the 1970's to not long before it closed/burned down:sad: I also worked there in the school holidays:) I remember when the Disney film "Spaceman and King Arthur" was released, we all dressed up and paraded through town, my dad as King Arthur on a massive white horse (he'd never been on a horse in his life!!) and I had curled his hair under with my curling tongues:hihi: as someone said, the Induz was below the Cinema (to the left as you look at it) and we all regularly went down there after closing where we would have Chicken and Chips, my dad was the only one who would have Curry (none of us would touch that foreign muck:suspect:). It's great to see some of the old pics, sadly dad passed away in 1986 and we don't have any pictures of that time any longer:( OP: Thanks for this thread, it has stirred up some really nice memories for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobinfoot Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I saw many films at the classic remember going to an all night showing of Dr Strangelove and some other films and heard a sound looked down and several mice were walking down the heating pipes this was about 77/78 time still had a good night though.

Texas Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 When it was the News Theatre you'd get mice in there regular. They liked the 'Tom & Jerry' cartoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choogling Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The Indus was the best Indian restaurant in Sheffield at the time bar none. on my first visit ,recommended my a work mate,i had the best t-bone steak ever ,it overhung the big oval plate my at least three inches and was delicious. We gradually progressed on to the Indian menu and the "Indus special shish kebab" became a firm favorite, we have tried numerous Indians since but have never found food as good anywhere. In the early seventies a t-bone steak platefull was one pound fifteen pence,those were the days my friend.If i had a one chance only to use a time machine it would be used to stop the fire above that destroyed it. Happy hippy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillpig Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I saw Psycho there, there were three Jamaican lads sat in front of me and one was wearing a pork pie hat, when Mrs Bates attacked the detective on the top of the stairs he jumped so much his hat fell off.

Bypassblade Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I remember the Indus but never went in, does anyone remember the Gambit Chinese restaurant just across road, on Commercial Street. IMS it was next to or near the gas place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
