teddie Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can anyone tell me how to contact someone who has made a posting? Is it possible to contact them direct via email?

denlin Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My brother worked as an apprentice at Joseph Rodgers in Pond Hill when he left school in 1968 and then at bottom of Moor. The cutlery made then and probably most of post war period had bone or stag (antlers) handles. My first job was as office junior at Sheffield Chamber of Commerce which was then situated in Cutlers Hall and I can remember seeing year knife which I believe was made by Joseph Rodgers. I worked there from 1966-1967 straight from school. I also remember seeing Dave Berry in Davys delicatessen which was where W H Smiths is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheawa Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I can remember seeing lots of Dave Berry as he lived very near to friends of my parents. I also remember seeing him and also Joe Cocker at the Esquire club located near the old Tram depot which was quite near to the old Kennings gargage and show room, very near to the train station, cant remember the street name though, would it be Shoreham Street? The Sheffield archives is quite near by. I returned to Sheffield for a visit last week. Walked down a small walk way near to or along side the Central methodist hall. Does anyone remember the cafe which was the in place to be seen in Sheffield in the 1960's Cant remember the name of the place. Also visited the Central Library, does any one else remember as I do visiting the library theatre. Its sitauated under the Central Library and is approached from the rear films were often shown there on Saturday mornings. I remember taking my first girl friend there (cheap skate).
