Pond Street station photo taken from Harmer Lane. Our school football team used to have to wait here when I was at school (1966-1973) waiting for the coach to arrive to take us to some school or other in South Yorkshire on a Saturday morning.

Dinnington, Maltby, Mexborough, Danum, Pontefract, to name just a few.

We'd always head down Attercliffe Road which always seemed packed. I know nowadays it's totally un PC but we used to have a game of 'spot the white man'. Not racist just innocent.

Thanks for that photo. Stirred some memories.

Same for me mate, the school cricket 1st X1 would meet there every other Saturday, and in the summer holidays me and my fishing mates would wait there for a bus to Aston Ponds or the canal at Killamarsh - funny how a photo like that can take you back to such good times.

Unitedites used to walk though that bus station singing after a good win. Bert also remembers Sunday mornings when it was packed with fishermen off to Lincolnshire.
 
Loved South Essex Blade's picture of Howard Street and the Cossack.

As teenagers just starting to drink in town, we never plucked up the nerve to go in there for obvious reasons

It wasn't 'bottle' as we loved Wards so had done the Target on Park Hill and plenty of other rougher boozers, but we weren't sure how many walls there were ('backs to' and all that).

Keep them coming lads please.

The Target certainly was rough but it was on Hyde Park along with the Crows Nest, Earl Francis, Samuel Plimsoll and Park Gardeners WMC. The pubs on Park Hill were the Link, Parkway, Scottish Queen and Earl George,

The Barleycorn was another like the Cossack but also used by working girls, as was the old Minerva Tavern.

Anyone remember the shop in the hole in the road that sold cheap electrical items and things ladies appeared to rub down the sides of their faces, according to the picture on the box? Near Angel Street.

Do you mean the fish tank?

Some of the birds I copped off with at school discos would definitely have benefited from a squid cheek rub.

the end of the Moor?

Moorfoot, but in you were correct in the sense that it killed the bottom of the moor and also London Rd / Ecclesall Road (S&E Arcade) as shopping destinations.

We never even got the promised walk through alley due to the bloody IRA! It was built through the building but never opened to the great unwashed.
