Bygone Sheffield

[sheffieldbusinesses]

I love all the old videos of Sheffield. I like spotting areas that I recognize and seeing just how different things are

[sheffieldhypnosis]

I have a vague memory of watching the Lord Mayor's Parade when I was a kid. They should definitely bring that back!

[007jkirk]

Weird I typed in random letters, let spell check do it's work, and I end up here, it's amazing how much history this place has though I've never heard of it :P

Aah, the Royal Hospital on West Street.

I remember having my tonsils out there back in August 1972.

I even remember the name of the girl in the bed next to mine : Tracey Truelove.

Well, you'd never forget a catchy name like that, would you?

HaHa! ... i love that "HELLO" at the beginning in proper northern style!

Who remembers RAG day and the boat race down the Don???

I can recall back in the 70's being on Ladies bridge when someone was throwing bags of flour at the students in the boat race, one of the students caught a bag and launchede it back at the bridge as fast as owt!!- it smacked a bloke full in the face but he laughed like mad at it!!

The good old days!!

The City is unrecognisable now, long gone is the soot and smog- even the birds don't cough during the dawn chorus anymore!!!

[BygoneFilmsDVD]

After watching this short video clip I purchased the DVD, which had two Sheffield programmes on it, 110 minutes of footage and there was also a DVD, called Sheffield at War, great stuff.

[nattygan1996]

[josephmart1970]

There is nothing interesting in Sheffield. This city is like a body without head, .... and legs and hands. I hate this city.

[bassthing26]

[eyechubcunt]

Yes corrupt local government, got rid of trams, because of vested interest. nothing changers.

[cainedkaty]

[thirlestanelodge2]

do you remember,"Sheffield, City On The Move" It was a film that was shown before the main feature in the pictures in the 70's. Has it moved at all? I've been away since then.

[thirlestanelodge2]

very funny, Tony Capstic, doin' a posh accent.

[AMikeOnLine]

Whats for tea mum?.... A run round the table and a kick at the pantry door.She said.Try telling your kids that today ??

[doctordrew66]

@AMikeOnLine Thanks mate. Of all my mum's little pearls this was a favourite. You've made me smile.

[theuk7yahoo]

@AMikeOnLine You was posh.....we had to kick the celler door :-)

[caterpillarmodel]

@theuk7yahoo Cellar? You were lucky to have a cellar. All we had was an 'ole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin ; it was a cellar to US.

[theuk7yahoo]

My grand father was in the Marples just an hour or so before the place was wiped out by nazi bombs.

My gran worked in the picture house at Lane Top

My Dad worked at Fletchers bakery

My mom worked at Co Op.

I love this town,and county

Also SWFC of course.

[morgansifer82]

Aah, the Hole in the Road, does anyone else remember the fishes down there in the tank? And that strong smell of disinfectant? I actually was quite sad when they filled it in.

[thirlestanelodge2]

[ozzysab]

@morgansifer82 yea i remember the hole in the road very well and the fish tank ,,even tho i was just a kid

[km20081985]

I wish I had grown up back in them times! I'm only 23 but love hearing and watching about the 'old' way of living and wish them times where here to this day! One thing I do hate is the way of change Sheffield has surcome too, knocking down the old lovable buildings that have been there since I can even remember and making way for the new modern one's it is such a disgrace to our heritage and what we should stand for!

[jdtnj]

I loved this video, having grown up in the 50's and 60's, it brought back fond memories, especially as I now life in the US.
