extaxman Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 In the 50's the Classic used to be called the News Theatre. Its programmes only lasted about an hour and were mostly cartoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushbaby Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 i used to love the induz restaurant underneath. In the late 50s/early 60s, the area under the classic, which became The Indus, used to be a snooker hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m full of useless knowledge so I thought I’d share a bit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anita morris Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The restaurant under the Classic cinema in the early sixties was the Queen's Restaurant. It was quite high class for Sheffield. I worked there as a silver service waitress for several years and knew the owner Mr Gabrielidis and his family well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
