tony madrid Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi, Does anyone have anyone photos of the Pinegrove country club whilst it was still open? I'm making a short film about a local boxer and need some images (or even better - video footage) of the club in it's heyday. They don't need to be of boxing nights, although that would be grand. Any shots may do - daytime/night time/ inside the club/outside the club. And best of all 'boxing nights' (may as well shoot for the stars!), although I realise that may be too much of an ask. Anything would be most gratefully received (and credited). Don't really need any derelict urban explorer shots though - plenty of those seem to be about. Many thanks in advance.

crookedspire Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I don't have any while the club was open only derelict ones, but if you could find out the date the club opened their might be a press report on its opening its likely their might be photos showing the club. Picture Sheffield might have a few too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Here are links to two photos on the picturesheffield.com site, apparently taken during construction. There may be more photos in the Local Studies Library (Surrey Street) that are not visible online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireblade Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I think it opened in 1980 or 81 i worked there in my teens and my family were members from when it opened probably for about 5 years. my parents were quite friendly with the owners so spent quite a bit of time there. Haven't got any photos sorry. They did a lot of wedding receptions so somebody must have pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
