Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

We had an outside loo, and a tin bath in front of a coal fire, one cold tap in the kitchen, a coal shoot on the pavement which the coal man used to deliver the coal to the cellar. Lived in a terrace house Warkley as a nipper. Also like in the picture, I remember in the winter adding coats onto the bed.

Same .as a young un we lived with my Nan on Lynmouth Rd ,outdoor bog with torn up Star for bog roll, still full of shit now. Sunday night was bath night ,I was 4th and last with a couple of bars on the fire and a last kettle of water scolding me ,happy days . We lived in the kitchen with the oven for warmth and you needed crampons to get up the stairs.

What did the kettle say, "wash your neck you dirty get" "And leave that alone, you'll go blind" ?

Phil Gormley with the tattooed cock? I've know him nearly 30 years since I worked in the Jordanthorpe. Used to be properly crackers, last time I saw him he'd calmed down a lot, stopped drinking and not had a fight in years. A good mate, but he definitely was a complete nutter years ago.

The tattoo said "The Brute" on it

Woolworths, Haymarket. Loose biscuits sold by weight. Nowt better than an assortment of broken biscuits!

The Food hygiene police would have a field day!

Garys dad used to train us with Tony Mac had us running all over the Fraser then back to the Chantrey for a few ,we had a great set of lads and a good side , the Wilsons were Joe ,Steve and Richard ,I was a few years younger than them all ,Gary Steve and Richard were the 3 skinheads who ran on the pitch after Woodys first goal v Watford and had the coppers chase them into the cricket pavilion. Steve went on to play pro for Rockingham United in Australia.
We won the division one year and Peter Swann did the presentation ,that went down well

Steve was a decent winger I was in the same school team as him together with Dave Redfearn those two did play in Oz
Joe was a sound lad.
Tony Mac that's one from the past

Whistle? You had gas or electric then. Luxury.

Wasn't The Cannon the roughest boozer in Sheffield?

As a young man I had a Saturday/part time job in Olivers Shoes (Timpsons Shoes) next to Castle Market.

Our deliveries were Monday by the side of where Burtons was on the road - anyway we were ferrying shoes into shop in boxes on trolleys when someone from Cannon ran across road and jumped on lorry and stole a box of shoes - was a skinhead who told me in no uncertain terms to keep my "fucking gob shut" I saw him run off into boozer but told Police had no idea where he went.

I absolutely love reading this thread as some of the photos take me back to my childhood in the 70s. A standout memory for me is stocking up on essentials at bri & Irene's before every home game and doing the same before boarding the blades travel club coaches for away games!!. Great memories.

Is it shut? It has been years since I was in there, used to go regularly get a few in before hitting town.

At the right price too

I still see and chat with Paul occasionally, now working at the Amex for Brighton in a PR role, top bloke, who has unlimited love for all things Sheffield Utd.

Our Kid (Plastic Pig) lives on Lynmouth and those stairs are indeed mental.

Crookes, also coal chute and cellar, kitchen seemed ok but basic (fridges not invented then - but don't remember anything going off, mainly 'cos nothing ever got left long enough!
Also outside loo, round back of house but WE had a candle

Imagine them going out for a Saturday night in town, knowing that you have absolutely no way on earth to get in touch with them - or them you!

I went out with a girl who did jury duty on a famous Sheffield murder case on Parkhill flats. The jury went in the Cannon for dinner and all the defendants relatives were also in ,luckily only dirty looks were exchanged. My father-in -laws 'claim to fame' wasgetting barred inthe Norfolk arms ,the bull and mouth ,the Alexandra and the Hen and chickens all in one night before my brothers in law dragged him out of the Cannon and took him home.
