I’m sorry I was completely bolloxed that day a good mate got me home

Ah! that's a Cracker

Where was this pub 'alleged' to have been situated? Genuine Question, and I'm the worlds worst speller, believe me.

It's Ralph Coates with one of the McWhirter brothers just in behind.

Anyone care to speculate what the guy on the right with his hand deep in his trouser pocket is thinking

Looks like one of them holiday raincoats could be useful that day SEB

The Punchbowl on the rhs is now a decent True North pub, although the sound system is a bit shite. Two Sheds micropub opposite, although that may well be casually of the current situation.

Most of those buildings are still as was.

I've now seen a fair few photos of this view sent in before by various posters and I've probably missed many more. They've covered a fair few years as well.
I thought I'd add this one to the collection.
Taken May 1988.
As many will know, where that tree is in the foreground used to be where the street map info board was. Does anyone have a close up pic (of the board )? As kids, of course, the game was to light up the most bulbs by pressing as many of the buttons as you could at once.

Spot on.

Also, a proper STD bus stop.

Was it the 42/53 bus stop next to the street map?

More commonly known as Springvale or Commonside now, with the Steel Bank name seems mainly confined to older maps.

Springvale pub on rhs still there, but a bit 'local'. IMHO the much better ale choices are at Stancil's Closed Shop and Thornbridge's Hallamshire. Both 50 yards up the road on the near left of the picture.

Yes, I believe it was KS, although I was an Inner Circle 8/9 (platform A) lad myself.

Did part of my YTS in Sheaf House in 1987. Payroll office of Area Civil Engineers office....

Christmas Party in the telecoms office next to the curvy bit - old school - everybody pissed while working.....

Fond memories

I did a management course on the second to top floor in there in 1989 and there was a mini earthquake. The building swayed and the lecturer just smiled like it was a common occurrence so we just carried on. Wasnt until I read next days Star that we knew what had happened.

Southport

Not the beach. I was referring to the players coming out of the tunnel, it was the 1914 FA Cup semi final against Burnley at Old Trafford

Harris's Sausages and Oxo... would prefer them over 500 generic Chinese betting firms and that fucking Vitality ad with the dog any day!

That apparently is White Hart Lane.

Interestingly, Spurs, for years never had any advertising around the ground or in the programme right into the 70's.

It's a slightly different view from just outside the Dram Shop (probably the first good range of bottled beers in Sheffield).
Your first picture showed the wall outside the care home at the bottom of Commonside.
