Ha.....the ‘top’ three tuns.......ended up naked in there on my stag night (Thursday night back then)

I think the building is still there, but the pub closed in 1987

God. Websters.......

Budgie Jackets etc came in as suedehead fashions moved on. The tv series was early seventies.

One episode had Blades fans in a pub with Budgie.

Budgie was a Fulham fan, I remember that much!

Just prior to it closing they held yoof discos on a Saturday morning attended by 13/14 year olds. Played specials, madness, etc, so reckon 82ish. As an aside, were you still drinking in the brincs 85/86? I used to collect glasses for then landlord Dave Coxon? Think he had some tenuous link to United. He was a bastard to work for!!

Yes I was going in until it closed down ,cant remember the landlord though. Only the Byron left now ,and I suppose the Union and Broadfield ,never liked any of them.

Well apart from the great photo's on here, which I never get tired of, we are now talking about the clothing that I remember when growing up; Crombie's, Barathea Blazers, Ben Sherman shirts, Levi Sta-Prest (that sort of ivory colour), Brogues, Loafers (usually with plenty of Blakey's "Segs" in the bottom), Harrington Jackets, round collared shirts, Prince of Wales check trousers, Rupert Trousers, anyone remember stack-heel boots?, looked like Chelsea boots, zip up the side, but the heel was made of wood?, Budgie Jackets (named after the Adam Faith TV show I guess), those "cowboy" type shirts where the shoulders were a different colour to the rest of the shirt, two-tone trousers.

We would pile into my mates house on a Friday and Saturday night, when his mum and dad were at the pub, and his older sister and her mates would play Soul, Motown and Ska records ("Al Capone" by Prince Buster, "Wet Dream" by Max Romeo with it's, for the time, shocking lyrics).

Samantha's was the first club I got in to, when I was 14, pushing 15, and only got in because I told the bouncers I was 16 and promised I wouldn't drink!, four pints of shitty beer later (Websters Pennine Bitter I think), I was having a great time.

Then punk happened and I got in to The Limit Club one night, still underage, and that became my "go to" club pretty much every weekend after that.

I went to most of the others that have been mentioned; Josie's, Pennys, Scamps, Tiffany's, Romeo's, Top Rank, Daisy, etc. The beer was nearly always Websters, it seemed, horrible stuff!

Those cowboy type shirts were Mr Freedom shirts got mine from Manchester
Thank fuck nobody took any photos of me wearing it

United clearly playing a “sweeper” system.

I’d put money on that being Ian Ure second right, based on hair colour and body shape.

I’m sure the two blokes at the back without hats subsequently appeared on the front cover of Sergeant Pepper...

They did, and they played at Mr Kite's testimonial as well.

I live two minutes from The Union. Not for Flat Earthers, but a proper pub that I can't get on with.

Hornes of King Street

Yes mate

Yea a bit cruel putting the Union in with the other two decent boozer.

All down to the Glam Rock era

Was a great pub back in the day when Paddy and Beryl run it. Byron's decent. Landlord John, big Wednesdayite but can take it as well as give it. Manicured beard and deep pockets for Broadfield.

Sheffield was a real ale desert in the 1970's.

White Lion on Chesterfield Road may have had hand pulled Tetleys. Nearly everywhere else was 'electric'.

I found the only way to drink a pint of Websters Pennine Bitter was topped up with a half of Guinness or brown ale.

Station Hotel in Treeton had the hand pulled Tetleys in 1972. I often had a pint in there at lunchtime. I think they were waiting to be "modernised".

I've viewed many many old photos of Wincobank and enjoyed them for the nostalgia, but from a totally aesthetic point of view this is the best I've seen so far and stands in it's own right as a photo for me, lovely shot of the gas works looming behind Barrow Road taken from Chapman Street. The demolition of the old back to back housing that started in the 60s clearly in progress there as well.

 

[singaporeblade]

My old man was the Doctor for Winkobank in the 60's & 70's and we lived above the surgery on Chapman Street - just to the left of this picture.
Brings back memories as we moved around 1970.
There were so many little shops around the street selling everyday needs as the nearest ''supermarket'' was in Firth Park i think.
Brilliant photo. Edit - ouch i mean Wincobank!

Amazing picture.

It shows how much harder times were compared to now... I think it's hard to imagine choosing to live right next to a HUGE volume of potentially explosive gas!

There was a fire that started on the side of the tank around 1968ish and i arrived home from school to see my mother legging it up Fife Street with our dog in her arms

Somehow you managed to make that above look like I posted the bit about the Doctors

Don't recall a doctors on Chapman St, the main one was bottom of Newman Rd.

Yeah shops on every corner and in between, Firth Park, Attercliffe or town otherwise.
