Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

I have so many fuzzy memories of parts of Sheffield which I just can't place any longer. Where the hell is this?

Outside the market entrance

I haven't lived in Sheffield for a long time so you're going to have to elaborate. Castle Market?

Entering Castle Market coming from Angel Street side, I think.

Love this. The old Park County School, with the 'modern' flats in the background.

To the left (but out of picture) would be the Berni Inn - Old Number 12. This is the entrance to the Castle market - at the top of the street would be Timpsons.

Carry on down that road and to the left would be the Alexandra pub

The arts tower has/had a paternoster lift. First time I used it I thought WTF this can't be illegal or remotely safe.

I could get in every one of those buses for 2p. Two pence!

I was a young looking 18 year old so could get the bus to town for 2p then get legally served in the pub....best of both worlds!

Our school bus had one of those machines that you dropped 2p into and pressed a green button on top and it printed a ticket with an ink smudged copy of the 2p on it. I had a ruse whereby I'd drop a pebble into the machine and then tell the driver it hadn't printed a ticket. He'd wave me on then I'd got enough for an ice lolly on the way home after school. Probably caused a load of damage and not something to be proud of with hindsight!!

My brother was a bus driver in those day and he was telling me the other day about the objects they found inside the machines (think they were called vendomatics) when they emptied them

I spent my university days on Floor 5 in the early seventies.

You were supposed to get out at the Lower Ground floor, but if there were schoolchildren there for interviews, or freshers, who’d clearly never seen one, we’d stay on and come up the other side standing on our heads. Hilarious it was.

This goes up for no other reason than this was the first United shirt I had bought for me. Bettered only by the yellow chevron design the following season.

They'd sell thousands if they ever brought that shirt out again.

Ray McHale v Wolves(?). How much creosote has Joe Bolton put on his hair!!!

In these days of shirt sponsors it wouldn't be a design they would use, Bert.
