walked past yesterday and had to laugh when I saw over the door that it was established in 1954

It says "Flame grilling since 1954".

Most of the people living in Sheffield don't know it as Coles Corner either, cos they're under 60. 

 

Anyhow, check this out, should get some on here agitated 🤣😚

The local newspaper should be educating them then.

'chabbies'???   

 

For everyone under retirement age, they would have only ever known Cole Brothers in it's Barker's Pool location. That got renamed over 21 years ago and its been shut for nearly three.  

 

God sake, I understand people having happy memories, but this city really does like to go wallowing in it's nostalgia and pining for the return of days gone by.

 

It's a shop, a long defunct location of a shop what some people just happened to use as a meeting place over half a century ago.  The building has been took over and repurposed multiple times in that 60 years and doesn't look anything like It's original design.  It's hardly a location of great historical or national importance. It's hardly a major part of the industrial heritage or uniqueness of the city. It's not blue plaque worthy.

 

We are now four entire generations on since Cole Brothers moved from its original to Barkers Pool and subsequently closed. Is it really so hard for some people to accept the city evolves, times move on, and prominence, interest and relevance in things evolve with it.

It’s a local landmark and not everybody below retirement age wants to consign it to history.
