Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Hamburg Blade]

I can't comment on the fire stations and the egg box as I'd just be guessing, I don't know what their rationale was but it may have been driven by technology,

This could be complete cobblers, but I was under the impression that they* wanted to list the egg box, architecture of the time, etc etc, but that it was so badly built it was falling down on its own anyway.

* whoever they would be.

Where is this, and why is Tyler Durden peering out of the door?

When was this taken?

Sometimes in the early 60s I guess.

Sometimes in the early 60s I guess.

Would have thought so. I think I read that Arundel gate started in 1968

I think Attercliffe, but not sure.

Greenest City in Europe

Probably because they are quality engineered vehicles and every British car made was shit.

Not the case anymore, you're stuck in a time warp. The Nissan factory in Sunderland is reputed to be the most productive factory in Europe and 80% of its cars are exported. Same with JLR. Some one likes them.

Found it. It's the Albert Inn, Sutherland Street. Although I know Sutherland Street pretty well I can't for the life of me think where exactly this was.

Also, has the white car (Vauxhall Victor?) been sliced in two in a terrible accident, or did it simply fall apart making the turn into the side street?

Ah, Bronchitis City...

Ah, Bronchitis City...

That's why people weren't antagonised about smoking in those days, the fag smoke was probably cleaner!

When was this taken?

The Owen building of the Sheffield City Polytechnic was built in 1967. It seems as though this was the initial stages of that building.

Corner Pin on the corner of Carlisle street and Lyons street. Back half of the van sticking out of what I think maybe Forncett st, is where we'd play footy til dinner/tea/bed time. On the piece of spare ground above the van, we put up a bonfire for nov 5. Pulled a good crowd and then run out of
wood. Chucked an old settee and some car tyres on. D'oh !

The Owen Building is a little further along Arundel Gate and out of shot to the right of this picture.

The site being cleaned is for what became the Top Rank Suite, Fiesta and multi storey car park.

There is another shot of Pond Street on Picture Sheffield from the station end which is almost identical to this (possibly the same day?) and that is dated 1968

Used to go boxing at that youth club under the Target, Hyde Away think they used to call it early 70s

Run by ex Wirld Cup referee and ex United employee George McCabe for many years.

Think it was very close to Norfolk Bridge end of Sutherland Sty.

Henry Hall run the boxing great bloke

I remember him. George ran the club as a whole, not the boxing.

Spent many hours in this pub, Albert Inn on Sutherland St. I worked across road in Firth Browns Norfolk bar mill for a period in the 70's and the Albert was our preferred boozer, great pint of magnet kept by Len Roe, the landlord at that time.
The millhands preferred the Plumpers (Tetley house) across road.
Us maintenance men had more discerning tastes.

Missus? Driving a car and married while still at Junior School?
Bet he was one of those kids who had chads at 14 as well.....
