Great photo. Can't remember it like that. Building across the road is now taller and became Griffin House part of the old Midland Bank. Been empty for years. Then is it Hereford Street where the Whetstone was? Did Tyzack have a place on either Woodseats Road or Archer Road?

They had another works, Horseman Works on Green Lane, Kelham Island. The facade at least is still there and maybe the building itself.
I think The Whetstone was on Cumberland Street, Hereford Street finished at Eyre Street I think, there was a pub on Hereford Street but I never went in and can’t even remember its name. I’m sure someone will enlighten us.
I used to wait for the 51 bus under the pillars to take me home after the match.

Can't remember the name. It was in the row of shops between the Samson and Willoughbys newsagents. Crown Pkace was higher up Duke Street. Are you thinking of the one on the corner below the bookies?

Embassy Court?

Tony's chippy was started by the same family who run the Frymaster down Attercliffe. Their menu lists all their old chippies and there's a fair few.

They were dangerous - a rock solid ninja weapon in the wrong hands!
Good job we were all well behaved in the days before Bruce Lee!

Kenny and Dennis

Ah, a different Mitchell family then.

Kenny and Dennis

They're the ones. I'm sure one of them was an excellent tiler. I think they had a younger brother who I went to Junior school with. Don't think he was much of a footballer though.

Haha yes you’re right mate. Luvvly Jubbly!

The Tony Mitchell I know isn't that small, more average height I would say, decent amateur footballer, had a brother Paul with a Rod Stewart barnet played left wing, & they had a younger brother Gary, built like a brick shithouse but wasn't very good. Think they were from around Pitsmoor though so again probably a different family. All Blades though.

The Gary Mitchell I know is bent nose he’s of Pitsmoor

 

[siblade]

Indeed it was . She was as mad as a march hare and many is the time I've seen her launch bricks and bottles into Woodhouse West End Junior school yard in response to the kids yelling ' prudo prudo prudo ' .

Absolutely shocking when you think about that whole situation now and very sad .

Agreed, very sad and shocking thinking about it now, just seemed funny at the time. Did you go to City School then mate?
