Have we had this one before? Anyway, I'm not going to look back through 139 pages to find out!
Ah, we really should've kept that pavilion. It's criminal we knocked it down.

Was that the cup game when Bert and the rest of the Unitedites were all penned up in that cage behind the goal?

Bathfield (Wards) on the rhs. It was just off Weston Street below the Arts Tower.
My dad was born about 50yds from there in terraces that have long since gone. My grandad (pig but still my grandad) lived in one of the high rises until his death in 96.
Fish and chips, pints of tea, then a stroll down to the Lane for pints of something stronger. Memories are made of this. ...

It was the feckin Germans that did that, on the 12th of December 1940.

You can get a map of Sheffield and plot their flight path just by looking at the council estates that got built on the bomb sites that they left behind

Alle menschen werden brüder, ain't that what they say in cherman?

the Post Office moved into the basement? The basement is Godforsaken - the selling off and abandonment of the old Post Office buildings is a pathetic by-product of privatisation. The GPO at Fitzalan Square survived by the skin of its teeth but it makes a better Post Office than it does College.

Sadly today I heard that they are closing this beautiful little post-office at Priory Place in Doncaster as part of the ongoing asset-stripping, its moving into WHSmiths..... no idea how its supposed to fit... its a crap idea

My old school too mate, was there 1972 to 1976. A truly marvelous building and an absolute tragedy what happened to the place.

I couldn't agree more. It was criminal what Sheffield City Council did allowing what must have been a listed building to be demolished!
I've just been reading about some of our old teachers e.g. Pod Harrison, Spike Johnson, Boris Haywood, Chas Holmes.....

 

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

And of course Herr Brunt, Jasper Jennings, Wally Webster etc. Got caned a few times off the latter two but no complaints, it was character building

My alma mater...

Leander at Brightside? mid to late 70's i'd guess.

Wincobank, looks like the photo was taken from the Tinsley viaduct might even be in the 80's the platforms for the old Wincobank station are gone by the look of it. The new Meadowhall station would be built further south of where the rear of the train is.

Who played footie in this place..........Concord Park?
I played for The Horseshoe across the road for many years and Concord was our home for donkeys years until we moved across the road to the Steel City ground . The Steel City clubhouse was demolished last year after vandalism left it in ruins.

I played for the fox and duck pye bank road mid to late 80s,our home pitch was there,can't remember which pitch it was,may be 5,but it had a nice slope on it front to back and also a little sideways,the right back had a very busy game shall we say.

If we're doing schools, here's mine. With sneaky shot of the infamous inflated sports hall, with double door airlock access. Great in principle, but it was always getting slashed.
