Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

If the description on this photo is correct, where would this white building have stood?

Think that's Ebeneezer Chapel in the background. My mum & dad got married there & my grandma grew up next door. Went to the last service before it was demolished. The upper room (the church proper) hadn't been used in years. It was all part of a massive regeneration plan. 30 years later still empty.

And the look of this lot makes me feel very old. Remember the club coming into Abbey lane school to tell us all how great it was going to be...

Yes, v West Brom in 1958. We lost in the replay

Are you sure it wasn't v Norwich? Looks like the bell ringer in the foreground is wearing an 'Up the Canaries' hat.

Memories of st George's day parades (or was it remembrance?) of years gone by. I was about the only volunteer to carry the flag one year as the rest of cubs were wendies.

At first glance, I thought it was the chapel, too, but the frontage isn't right. This one here is definitely the Wesleyan chapel that stood on Bramall Lane. I used to play football with my friends in the small yard at the front of the chapel.

I think it is Norwich in 1959. The bell ringer's hat does say "Canaries" and the coffin lists the teams Norwich had beaten in previous rounds - Ilford, Swindon, Manchester United, Cardiff and Spurs - with United next on the list! They were of course a third division team then, so had competed from Round One.

Geoff Goodall the physio is from Dronfield. His dad used to bring his football coupons to my house and have a chat with my dad. My dad was a collector for Littlewoods and Vernons in the Dronfield area. Geoff often spoke to my dad outside the players entrance at away matches

Graeme Crawford's painful debut in the 1-0 win against Norwich in Sept 1969. I was at the game but I wasnt a committed Blade for another 4 months
