The Bierkeller - und "Ein prosit, ein prosit" on the table - but too near where the curved roof met the wall :(

Did that eventually become the Crazy Daisey or has Bert's memory gone on holiday?

No Bert. Crazy Daisy was Sheffields original beer Keller. If you came out of the BlueBell front door and turned left DB was at the opposite end of the inlet. It became Stylo shoes.

This was the Cavendish and later Baileys. All the top stars of the time played here. Bob Monkhouse, Kathy Kirby, Max Bygraves, Dave Allen, Dusty Springfield etc. Very sophisticated for Sheffield in the late 1960s.

Never my cup of tea as I was just discovering Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Carlos Santana et al and growing my hair and beard. (not sure whether I should be putting myself in the twats thread just for admitting this)

I don't know about the skinheads going in there but what I do know is it was wall to wall Diamondback Pringles in the early 80's on matchday . All freshly shoplifted from Golf Scene just off Fargate :)

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that should I have been that way inclined and asked for a pair of stilettos in the Old Blue Bell back in the day, someone would have obliged . Good job no one told me they were ' trendy ' or id have I'd have looked an even bigger twat with my Lois Jeans,Pringle Jumper and fetching Stilettos o_O

To be fair, Lois Jeans went better with stilettos than Stan Smiths as they seemed rather effeminate. . I suspect you're hiding your light under a bushel. .

Young greasers used to use a coffee bar up near the Peace Gardens. Opposite the Tartan shop if memory serves. Goading them was a regular occurance. The girls were tougher than the scruffy lads. We turned up one night and they were all about thirty years old. Chased us down to Pond Street. Their bikes hit the deck a few weeks after with about Forty young kids taking revenge.

My first pair of doc Martins were from a shop at woodseats, was that the name? Cannot remember but probably was, was a shirt shop on Surrey Street where you could get Ben sherman shirts and of course the crombie but I couldn't afford one, levi straight leg jeans cut short with a turn up,bloody stylish!

It was Roberts and Wilde on The Dale. Ray Roberts the owner was a mate of my Dads and used to come on holiday with us ,strange but very likeable bloke (he looked like Mick Miller) and I'll never know why but everyone called him Stanley. He must have had the rights to sell Dockers in Sheffield because it was the only place you could get them. Made him a wealthy man but he was tight as a ducks arse.
