Yeah Broomhill and Fulwood are like the Compton and Watts of Sheffield.

If it's the one with the 'Persil' sign, that's Crookes,at Stothard Rd/Northfield Rd junction
The Punchbowl pub would be a little way behind the photographer (or would have been )
Incidentally Carracks was a paint and wallpaper shop and also where Paul Carrack the rather famous musician grew up.

Thanks, the first one I was sure about, the one with the persil sign, I wasn't sure between crookes or south road.

That's why you put a batten through it and carry it on your shoulder.

Spot the pro!
Have Crab Industries contacted you yet?
(Or the Met.?)

I'm a very honest man these days, the Met have nothing to worry about.

Crab Inc wanted me to nick the dodgy asbestos cement sheeting from the Sty (something about making taxis out of them I think) but I wouldn't be able to deal with the smell so had to decline.

Every chance I delivered milk on this thing. ☺

I was thinking more about precipitation than problems with homies.

At my age a drop of rain plays havoc with the lumbago and anything above a breeze, can cause issues with the syrup.

Those guys looked like pros. They'd just lob it off the roof with a cry of 'Mind yer eards'.

Did S and E work from Broadfield Rd or Hemsworth Rd ?

No, the dairy was on Archer Rd. S&E had the dairy, butchers (where when I was 17,made proper pork pies, not like the Chatsworth efforts) a bakery, grocery warehouse and a large garage for probably 80 or more vehicles. It ws a huge site just up from Abbydale Rd. Sold off maybe 25 years ago, but not too sure on that.

I agree, totally correct.

As it's the 09/10 shirt it could be a whole litany of bell-ends that turned out for us in that season. I'm going Toni Kallio?

That's the only player I think it could be too, it's certainly not Marcel Seip or Simon Walton as he got injured in pre-season that season.

Look at the beautiful Sheffield Best vapour steaming out of the Wards Brewery.

First place to go in my tardis. Just to smell that brewing smell on brew day before heading for a few in The Norfolk or The Domino or The Matilda or The Queens or The Meadow (RIP)

Spent some good times in Norfolk park

My old haunt Bladebri , smashing photo

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Growing up we lived just around the corner in the Vic Hallam's and my dad managed to get an allotment behind those cottages which he maintained for years before he was asked if he wanted to put his name down when one came available which he did. A year or so later one came vacant and he applied and got it. Mother was well happy with that and loved it. Unfortunately she passed away there at the age of 48. Dad a Blade all his life died there too in his sleep a few years later. Great memories of that place as my mother would look after my 3 girls while me and the old man walked to BDTBL and back on match days.

Fond memories now when we walk the dogs through the park nowadays.

Lived in the vic hallams myself Digger , Guilford drive ,
went into Norfolk park on Sunday after Reading game , went into cafe that's on site of old swings ,
walked around it , with an old friend ( no not you paul )
still a lovely park
