I mess around with G Earth but don't get too much out of it, most a bit blurry when I try to zoom in on something am I doing something wrong ? Well I shall just zoom into the Town Hall I think and wander down Fargate and just try and find something that I recognise....not been for 20 years so by the sounds of what Iv'e read here it might not be all that easy. If it goes blurry, I usually just come out a little and carry on scrolling. I just enjoy messing with it anyway so I might find something.... PS....OK, I found Fitzalan Square(which isn't square anymore) and I found the Town Hall...had a wander down and back up again...saw where I think C&A's was and saw Pond street???? and decided to call it a day.....Glad nobody asked me to get any shopping when I was there:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kretschmer Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Spada573 wrote Can anybody recall Colvins when they were on Waingate? Colvins was the best shop in Sheff. Harringtons was good because being a short r's they turned my kex up free whilst I waited. The Hole in the Wall just on the corner of Townhead St and Church St brings back memories as my Dad used to stop and get his fags there before we went to the scrambling. I remember thinking "a hole in the wall???" And although we're on about shops, I was a big fan of the Gambit chinese restaurant under where Jessops is now on Commercial St and also Davy's Clock restaurant opposite Wilkinsons now a flippin' slot machine den.
