My dad's cousin was the manageress at the Gaumont and often she would give me free tickets for films. She was a Blade season ticket holder too!

Was it any good though if you're deaf?

When I was young I would enjoy films without subtitles but enjoyed the films even more after I first got a Teletext tv in 1982. Jaws was my favourite film before 1982 and you didnt really need subtitles to understand what was going on

The last 30 years or so must have seen a massive change for deaf people, just simple things that we now take for granted, texting, emails, messenger, subtitles etc. No longer cut off from anything.

Dixon Lane. Just out of shot to the left and bottom of the Lane is Norfolk Arms. One of the best pints of Stones in Sheffield.

There on the left hand side is Rock Tavern - don't remember that. Whitbread house with their distinctive yellow tiles cladding the outside. At the top of the Lane on Waingate - Brunswick, exactly the same tiles.

Barleycorn was the same and another bottom of Cemetery Road - name escapes me.

Isnt the penthouse on the left too ?

Is it the ABC on Angel Street?
I used to go to the kids' Saturday cinema club effort. "We are the kids of the A-B-C!"

EDIT: Just seen your answer. It's the Gaumont.

It was. Penthouse was never my scene maybe went in a couple of times.

I went a few times the steps were endless going up ,but came down a bit lively a few times ,never once did I not see a scrap in there. It then became Rebels ,Charlie Harper and UK subs seemed to be on every week ,one of the strangest nightclubs Sheffield ever had.

Yep. Near the top below Cann the music man.

I was thinking ABC or Gaumont before I saw the answer. One of them, the Gaumont I think, was rumoured to have the biggest cinema screen in Europe, back in the day. I don't actually know if that was true or just an urban myth?

really not sure about this one. It looks fairly small, so I'd maybe guess at the Classic in Fitzalan Square?

Where Joey Gallo was actually killed rather than the place where tourists go too since 1990 on the same street but at different venues to eat where a mob hit took place

Minors of the A B C !

Much more upmarket than Park Pictures on a Saturday Morning which was more like the movie scene in Gremlins.

Another rich kid. Cinema indeed. Nobody called it a cinema.

The best chip shop was the one at the bottom of Duke Street, on the shops between the Samson and Willoughbys Newsagents.

While not being a common sight, poor individuals like this bloke could be seen around town in the 60's. One used to stand outside Woolworth's on The Moor. I always assumed that they were casualties of WW2. A stark contrast to the druggies, Big Issue sellers and other chuggers who blight the town centre nowadays.

I spent 5 minutes on your translation wondering what Roy's 'View from' had to do with anything!

Another cinema themed pic. Somebody might guess the year.

It will soon be here. But looking like this is unlikely

I think some of them were WW1 veterans.
