grinder Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If that's the place I'm thinking of on the few occasions I went in there there was a very nice Lady in a white overall with white hair who owned the shop .. When I first moved here the bus stop was higher up on the other side of Woodseats road out side a sweetshop called Churches....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARTLES Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Went to Woodseats school with Jeremy Bullock ,think he became one of the youngest football referees in England. I remember Rounds,the herbalist was called ENOCHS I think.You could buy one cigarette and a match from the grey haired lady in the white coat. Even though I was about 12!

Lobos Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well my Granny dropped dead in there in 1982 while shopping and it was Tescos then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bus man Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Sorry if this as been covered before Where Tesco is now was a laundery. Where the car park for the police station is (Between Tesco and the police station) was a wood/ builders yard, this had a wooden hut at the front on the police station side which was a sweet shop. The current Pyramid carpet shot was crown house engineering but was built for a building firm - hassal homes - rings a bell. But I may be wrong Before the present building was placed on the pyramid carpet site it was a house with a large garden which was used by Dr Kay the local doctor. He moved with Dr Wright to Cobnar road in the mid 1960's to 4 Cobnar Road , latter on after Dr Kay had retired number 2 cobnar road was also acquired and these two houses are now woodseats medical centre. Hope this helps Remember that when Tesco opened in woodseats it was the first purpose built supermarket in woodseats and one of the first in Sheffield. Previous supermarket in woodseats (fine fare) had been conversions of previous buildings The next purpose built supermarket on woodseats was liptons now farm foods - I think -its the one at the corner of woodseats road. It should be remembered that when the Tescoe was built woodseats was a completely differante place for shopping . Indeed what is now the first house on the right on the road next to Tesco was a fruit shop if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestig2004 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 From what it was to what it will become.... Looks like they're renovating it at the moment - anyone have any ideas who's taking it over? I noticed there were never any For Sale / To Let boards on there so maybe the sale / lease was agreed before Tesco closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grappler Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I remember the Double Six Boys Club at the bottom of Scarsdale road, and if you turned left onto Chesterfield Road and then first right, there used to be a corner shop that sold toys.
