Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Lane Ender]

That’s what I thought but then I just thought ‘Sheffield’.

What do you mean young Sheffielders were way up to speed with fashions in the 70s and 80s

Seeing this reminds me, re your other photo of Figtree Lane (section on that photo is now New St.) the very bottom at West Bar is now Scargill Croft which runs up to Bank St.

Yes. It's lower down than I thought when I said it was the junction with Queen Street.

Upperthorpe?

Upperthorpe?

I thought that, then thought maybe Wincobank, but couldn't place those flats

That cant be early 80s more like early 70s suedeheads the interveiwers wearing flares.

The older we get, the more the 1980s look like the 1970s, and the 1990s look like the 1980s. I couldn't tell you what the 2000s looked like because I wasn't paying attention.

As for this march for jobs thing, was that the one that Richard Caborn (a newish MEP back then) leant his support to only for a group of skinheads to tip a few bins over and doubtless kidney punch a few handicapped children which led to a debate about it on Radio Hallam, and some people telling Tricky Dicky that it had all "blown up in your face, Richard"? Was it? I hope so after writing all that.

Hope this hasn't been posted before...…….If so apologies. Apparently hand carved and originally had a fag in it's gob. A present from father,. the scarf was knitted by the recipients mother.View attachment 72427

That’s Bertie Blade, our old club mascot. He had one son, who was a bit daft to say the least. His son had a daft expression on his face and thought he was a pirate.

Bertie quit smoking, that’s why the fag is missing from his gob. But he died a good few years ago now of metal fatigue.

Rust in peace Bertie!

Upperthorpe?

I think so too. It looked very familiar as soon as I saw it but I couldn’t place it. I think the newer looking houses in the background are the ones above Langsett Road.

I assume this is prior to the Lord Mayors parade.

Tony Curry band wagon!!

Any chance of the tower block being Pye bank, Pitsmoor, looking from where A61 ring road is now.

It could be. I was trying to find a view on google maps in Upperthorpe and Netherthorpe that matched it but couldn’t.

 

[benn5712]

May be an alternative view from Andover st, Pye Bank road, Pitsmoor road area.

I'm a bit unconvinced due to the road in the foreground sloping down so steeply.

There are 3 blocks on Upperthorpe and I don't know what order they were built in, but the terrain to the right of the block looks about right if this is the upper one. The lower blocks could have been built after this was taken.

Most of the nearground would be the Ponderosa and unfortunately Google pictures are obscured by trees, )although I'm sure it won't be too long before Amey change that). The pic below is of the middle one, but you can spin round to see the other two.

Unfortunately, there's no information other than it was from 1967.

My guess would be Southampton on Boxing Day because Saints wore black shorts for home games. 3-3 draw.
