Caz1 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 But the best shop in Sheffield who ruined a million 30 somethings feet Rebina Shoes! Anyone still have any? I loved Rebina shoes, I had several pairs of winklepicker stilletos in various colours red, pink, black and i had a wicked pair of red rebina boots that i wore to death and some black ones with buckles on..i loved them..Don't have them now though mores the pity. There was a shop down high street and also a rebina stall in one of the markets but can't remember if Sheaf or Castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzyoo Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 There used to be a Hi-fi / tv shop on the moor that was swallowed up to make the McDonalds on the corner. They used to sell Bang & Olufson gear, can't remember the name of the place for the life of me but when you went in they were always playing top quality sounding LP's like James Last & Bert Kaempfert's "Swinging Safari" to show off the equipment. Think, Think, Think.............. No, still can't remember the name! IT WAS CALLED CURTIS,S - OWNED BY BILL CURTIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveatEmptor Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Sorry Arthur. I didn't realise that Burngreave Road and Pitsmoor Road retained their individual identity at the site of the Mojo club until I checked on Maps.Google.co.uk at maximum resolution.

CaveatEmptor Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Suzyoo, being an ex-pat, I don't know where McDonald's is on the Moor. It isn't listed on BT.com or Yell.com. Where is it, and therefore where was this mystery HiFi/TV shop? I thought the reference was to the Cumberland Street junction. (see post #35) In the sixties, the Wimpey Bar, the Roman Room (Russian Tea!) and the Sidewalk were our meeting places. McD's hadn't been invented - well at least, not in England.

LHarman Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Redgates was paradise when you were 8 and into Sindy dolls. Loved the Bead shop as a teen and Suggs sport across the road. Also the HMV on Leopold street. I could hang about there forever. Wimpy and Chelsea Girl on Fargate. Pippys which i was always a bit in awe of. But the best shop in Sheffield who ruined a million 30 somethings feet Rebina Shoes! Anyone still have any? i dont have any shoes left as they only lasted about 3 days before the heels were knackered, but they were so fab .you could always tell when someone had a new pair because of the bloody plasters on their heels!. remember the stall in the market that sold them too?
