I remember my mum and dad taking us into town to see the Christmas lights in the early seventies.

At Broomhall carnival ? Bet you weren't the only one.

Is that a slur on us Broomhill Boys?

Great photo for Blades kit combinations despite it looks appalling. T/V must be involved. Believe game in photo is 14 Nov 1987 lost 2-0.

Having had a strong connection with Sheffield Markets for the greater part of my life I find this photo very sad. Historically and traditionally Sheffield's market area, to see it flattened and grassed sums up the Councils ineptitude to organise by keeping and adapting the best whilst adding the new. Bulldoze and rebuild their only manner of work.

Balm Green?

Excellent attempt, I would have gone with that but I do believe ECL has trumped us, so i'll go with Fountain Sq. Thank you,

 

[XM657]

Although Balm Green runs down the side of the City Hall, this little patch of greenery is called Fountain Square.

Thank you, I had read it in the past, the grey matter and all that. Regards your next post, thought the same but then thought may be not seems to be an age difference.

Did they censor the Laver logo or did it fall off?! I know the replica kits were notorious for this but I had no idea it stretched to the matchday kits!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

This goes in simply because the lad is a Blade.

Moorfoot 1973

Never seen that before - it’s barely recognisable. Is that the original bank building that’s now Baan Thai restaurant?

Not sure what it is now, not been down there for years, but that is the old bank building. I remember the Moor foot being loads and loads of car parking in my younger days.

One thing I noticed, not one United player was over 6ft tall.
Anyway, for no points and no prizes, name the season and the score, no bonus points for the scorers.*

*I do not know any of the answers.

Yes, with the S&E Arcade next door, then Lex Brooklands the Volvo dealer. They used to have a written off car in their showroom window, from which everybody had got out unscathed, to show how safe Volvos were.

Steam and that heady malty smell coming from Wards brewery. Occassionally you could walk all the way from the markets to the bottom of the Moor with first, Whitbread's Exchange brewery and then Wards, filling your nostrils. Ahhhhhhhhh (better than that Bisto bollocks).

Post #12,267 shows Cemetery Road coming all way down to the bottom with the other bank (Barclays?) that is now a Chinese firework shop. You can also just see the gable end of the Lansdowne pub.
