Happy memories. I had just started my student days, surrounded by ruggers and rowers. Watched it on TV, in a room full of people taunting me because 'Sheffield' were losing. They must have thought I was a bloody good actor to disguise my sadness so well...

Peter Stringfellow died today.

Just heard that. Quite a character wasn’t he? Was on the same flight as him a few years ago.

Where exactly was the Mojo club Bert?

Had some great nights/days in the Mojo, first all nighters, saw Fontella (rescue me) Bass, Drifters, Ben E King, Billy Stuart, great times. Bennies, Dex, happy times. Not that I would condone any of that to the young these days of course, (he says, adopting the double standards hypocritical stance as required today) what memories.
RIP

Burngreave Rd.

Thanks.

And did they really sell Mojo’s?

Burngreave Rd.

Wasn't it Pitsmoor Road?

Actually, it was on Pitsmoor Road. Edit, ST beat me to it.

Thanks.

No, only the Bennies and Dex mentioned earlier.

The last time Bert went past it was still there, wasn't it a Jehovha Witness Kingdom Hall..... ironically?

A photo I've just pinched off the Sheffield History site on FB. Apparently Walter Brayshaw standing 5th from right. The lady posting is his grandaughter and wondered where it was taken. Any ideas Silent Blade ? Is it even us?

Not heard of Walter Brayshaw so I looked up in the Who's who. He was at Denaby United before joining us in 1919. Played 4 league appearances before joining Exeter in 1920. I dont recognise anyone else in the photo, I am afraid.

Looking at the stand behind that could have been Exeter. I'll ask my Dad who is from that part of Devon, he might recognise it.

Right, I've shown this to my Dad and he's pretty certain that's the recently demolished main stand (railway end) at Exeter.

Not sure. I've not been in that neck of the woods for donkeys years but it was on that bit of Pitsmoor Road that runs parallel with Barnsley Road and a lot of that is new housing.

As far as Bert can see on Google Earth its no longer there.

What year was that? I believe Arundel Gate along with the Hole in the Road was completed in 1968

I’m getting giddy with excitement just looking at that picture. I reckon I could still find the Corgi cars, Scalextric, Britains farm stuff and subbuteo sets now

Not sure, judging by the cars it looks mid 60's

The hole in the road was opened in 1967. As you can see, clearance work is underway for Arundel Gate so I would think this photo was from about 1965.

Never seen Arundel Gate pre Hole before.

Note how they're just getting started on Sheffield Poly (later Sheffield Hallam) in the background
