Sorry Brooksy I don't know the area that well but without stealing your thunder I used to get my hair cut on Bramber Street in Pitsmoor in the 60s, anyone remember that too.

Apparently there was a barber on Penistone Rd called Barber Fred who had a plank and used to sit 3 or 4 kids on at once and a few minutes later there were 3 or 4 short back & sides. And the story goes that you could see your bus turn onto Penistone Rd then nip in, get your hair cut and be back out before it got to your stop. My gran lived over there and that's where we went.

If this is the guy I think it is, didn't he have only one leg? he had a sort of cycle saddle device which was hinged round the chair, and he would "wheel" himself round you as he cut hair,yes, a real character.

My parents used to have the fish and chip shop a few doors up Staniforth Road from Georgie Woods, the chip shop was known as "Two Steps". When he was a tot my son used to have his hair cut at Georgies.

George Wood used to run the sequence dances held at the old Darnall Board School on Darnall Road for a number of years, as well as a good barber he was a lovely dancer.

As a kid My mam took me to Toms, on Fairleigh. A plank of wood across the arms for little uns. If you fidgited, a sharp crack with his mechanical shears, you didnt do it again, mother unaware. Strangely, kept going till I left school.

Yes I remember Georgie Woods, the plank across the chair arms and the bike saddle, he was a friend of my Parents and Gran, gave me my first haircut and every one untill we moved in 53.
