No that’s Norfolk Secondary school on Craddock Road, Norfolk Park.

In these days of shirt sponsors it wouldn't be a design they would use, Bert.

What about Stennah Stairlifts?

The type that take the elderly to their cabins?

I have so many fuzzy memories of parts of Sheffield which I just can't place any longer. Where the hell is this?

Never mind Exchange St. where the f***ing hell is this? I think it's top of Haymarket looking up High St. towards HinR. Is it? Great photo by the way.

Looks about right to me

Looking down High street with the hole in the road at the bottom, then probably Waring and Gillows behind that (C&A expanded into that unit when W&G shut down)

Entering Castle Market coming from Angel Street side, I think.

Wrong market, that’s the Sheaf Market entrance on Exchange Street. The shop called Leesons was next door to the Jewellery shop owned by Herol Graham.

This is post 1974.

Woolworth's (on the right hand side) converted to a Woolco about August 1974. I think Hughie Green opened it.

What was the name of the record shop on the first floor gallery on the RHS?

I know it was still open around 1980 as I bought the Skids first album ('Scared to Dance') there. Worst of the three in case anyone is interested.

Funny, my memory has that approach linked to coming down from Angel Street. Odd how memories merge.

Angel Street is the left turn at the bottom of Fargate, where Brightside & Carbrook store, and the ABC on the other side of the road, was. No market access from there.

Just to be pedantic Angel St is the left turn off the High St at Castle Square which is only pedestrian access the vehicular access is left off the start of High St just after the junction with Arundel Gate before Fitzalan Square.

It’s not pedantic I was wrong! I only missed out a tranche of the city centre. Anyone following my directions would have gone down York Street and been further away than Hamburg Blade would have got them. It’s Although I wasn’t referencing being in a car, which at the time would have been possible- now that’s pedantic !

In my memory the two town blocks had merged, so that I thought the view was between the co-op and the building on the corner (what was that?). It wasn't my end of town, I usually stayed between High Street and the top of The Moor. My memories of the markets and the co-op are all from my childhood, from when I was dragged around by my Mum. When I look on the map, it's obvious, but it shows how we shouldn't trust our memories.
I gave up trying to drive in town a long time ago. It seems every time I go back, the council have changed all the one way streets and no entries. I think they just do it because they're bored.
