My Grandad playing the piano😊
The scene with the little girl being left out in the play ground was so sad I wanted to cry.
Hard working people their faces carved with expressions that tell a story about the life that they lead. I was just a young kid back then, remember being dragged around the Castle Market and other places hahaha. A different time a different world and mostly not for the better as of leaving this comment on 20/5/2022.
Nice to see my wife aged 15 in the market with here dad
I’m a Rotherham lad who in 1967 left school to join the ‘de da’s’ in the Sheffield Steelworks. It was like joining a different culture. Later in life I worked in several other countries from South Africa to South Korea, but always thought it amazing that anyone not from Sheffield could be expected to make steel!
outstanding film. This is the best film I have seen of Sheffield. That fly on the wall style is fantastic. Great subject to build the film around. I love that he takes time to look at detail, picks people out, and let's the film speak for itself (it doesn't matter the commentary is in German) A great picture of a great community and a great city
That poor girl all on her own , so desperately wanted to join them 😔
Lots of memories there for some people, i kept pausing it to see if i recognised any older long lost family members-but alas no, thanks for sharing :)
me n' all.
I’ve been looking too.
My Nan and Grandad just about lived in the Dial House Club!
For years, they lived at 217 Dykes Hall Road on the Sutton estate and later moved to a smaller house at 10 Dykes Hall Place, which backed onto the club
Have a stroll into Sheffield and see what they have done to the city for something no worse than a winter flu. Not one shop open in Chapel Walk and I can't imagine 50% reopening.
Professor Calhoun's rodent Utopia. Limit freedom of movement (medical lockdown) provide for all their needs (universal basic income) within ten years there's a remnant population. A carbon neutral, sustainably developed, built back better world is in the making. We're not invited. We're to fizzle out. We're the virus.
This is the old northern working class..faces lined and hardened and bodies like drawn steel..they made this country and fought and died for it ..just a thought and a reminder to the predatory social elites
Wow That girl has a great voice
Thank you!
I was twelve then and lived at Southey. My cousin lived in Wynyard Road with her family. Brought back many memories.
My nan would have been moving out of Parkwood into Deerlands Mount then. Still just round the corner on Wordsworth. It's better than it was 20 years ago
the Dial House WMC was demolished a few years ago and houses were built on the land, The front entrance building is still there and still has the Dial House Plaque but it is a private house now
A wonderful record of times and situations that were near to passing when I first experienced them. This film made me smile a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Bit sad little girl left out playing ring a ring a rosers... Kids can be cruel!!!
Sheffield lad b.1955, this is a portal to the past. Such a lot of memories, the men in the rolling mills like my dad all seemed to me as a child to have huge yellow nico-stained enlarged hands, really calloused and stiff, the film shows why.
Great archive film, shot at a level that sets the standard for today. Just one thought, the girl singing Dylan, she is not Helen Shapiro's older sister by any chance?
Blummin ek, dunt i' meck di' feel old.
Thank you so much for your time and patience downloading this wonderful film, brought back happy memories, thank you keep well and safe 😊
I like the Music duo at 16.20 min the good Old days 👍
Am I right to assume that this was a promotional film when Sheffield was twinning with Bochum? We still have a road called Bochum Parkway. The market brought back childhood memories. It must have been made in the 1960s because Park Hill flats feature.
That had to be the most lifeless bingo master I've ever heard.
mps should see this
no phones cheap beer happy time
“Thank you please!"
By eck, it's grim up north. Looking back, now, it's like scenes from the zombie apocalypse ;)
This only shows the poorest housing and the poorest people there at the time, though. I know, I was in the city then as a child.
No different to the east end areas of the times. It was a hard life for the working class of the whole of Britain, they're the part of the nation I'm most proud of 😊
strange. I didn't think it was grim at all. I thought it was uplifting. A proud community and vibrant cosmopolitan city (albeit in a postwar decline, generally so in Britain at that time). And who understood how to have a good time in a well organised club. I think your characterisation wouldn't ring true with the people enjoying themselves in that club
John come on let’s have a dance. Tha’s no chance, get thee mother to dance wi thee.
Lost England
Decent turn on at dial t'neet..
I'm intrigued to find out why a German Documentary film was taking an interest in the Menschen in Sheffield? And the Dial House Club and steelworks?
I wonder which works they filmed in the documentary? My Dad used to work at Firth Brown's until 1984 & Thatcher! He used to tell me many a great story about working there.
Who was the original broadcaster of this documentary?
Sheffield was twinned with Bochum in Germany, also associated with steel.
Shame there's not an English translation, Sheffield in times past.
Did you notice the little bloke playing the bandit was called Bob Lomas?
The drummer t 25:15
