Back in the early 80s used to spend many a Saturday evening in the Zeenat restaurant - I think it was where the Shamara lounge near the beginning of your video is now. Living in Swallownest and working at NGH I used to drive through Darnall, down Staniforth Rd to Attercliffe and then down past Forgemasters and Upwell Street.
Love that 4k quality. I too would like to see Brightside. I worked in the area in the 60s, in English Steel Corporation. A great place to work in. I made lots of friends, and as an Irishman, I always felt at home living in the Attercliffe area. Thank you so much for your fine video. Michael.
I last visited Attercliffe with my parents 69 years ago to say goodbye to relatives before going abroad. All I remember is grimy factories belching out a lot of smoke, and not a tree in sight. It has certainly improved from a cleanliness and greenery point of view, as has most of Sheffield. Thank you for another great video.
I was born in 1932 and lived in Baldwin Street for a number of years and attended Huntsman’s Gardens School after our old school (Attercliffe Council School) was bombed during the blitz. After getting married we got a little house in Chapel Lane, off Worksop Road, and after compulsory purchase we moved away to Shiregreen. But what a difference Attercliffe is now I just didn’t recognise it at all. Many thanks for the memories
You did a very good job with Attercliffe rd . Many places gone now and so few pubs left. There used to 14 on the stretch of attercliff rd you did, only 3 or 4 left. There were 4 picture houses, now none. You could try Brightside and carbrook next ?
I enjoyed looking at your video, Just found out that my Grandfather was born in 1890 in Attercliffe Christchurch parish .. the address looks like 2 Northing road ? by 1913 he was in London. Syd T
@sydney tombleson...I think the street name is probably Worthing Road...I vaguely remember it, it was a long street that ran east to west on the south side of Staniforth Road, just long rows of terraced houses that faced onto the street. I went out with a girl who lived there for awhile at the turn of the 80s. Even then much of it was earmarked for demolition to build sports facilities, although i think some parts of the road itself remain.
@@melthebell33 Yes Darnall ok I knew it well. What about the "edges" of Sheffield on the Peak District and dams side. So close, and potential tourists should know about the area !
Try "Salmon Pastures!" between Norfolk Bridge & Stevenson Road? The river Don there used to be full of old bikes and prams before the "Salmon came back?"
I was born on the Cliffe in 1944 and don't recall a Brinswoirth Street? I do remember Bodmin Street with my uncles Barrow at the junction? And Huntsmans Gardens School Halfway along it before the Pakistani Muslims moved in?
Not for me it doesn't!!!! John Atter had a barrow at the junction with Attercliffe Road and Bodmin Street near the sweet shop? I went to Huntsmans Gardens School on Bodmin Street and Britnall Street? "Brinsworth Street" has never existed?????@@SheffieldVideos
@@henrywalker5746 Brinsworth street was the road between shirland lane and Bodmin street had a few mates lived on there of course it existed Mathews furniture shop was on the corner
Sad to see 90% of the busy street dead compare to 40 years ago.Great job Sheffield council of killing the entire neighbourhood and the old tram system.

The Sapphire Lounge used to be the Dog & Partridge. I played my first gig there in 1962
Ah yes I remember that place
I remember that it had an upright piano against a wall?

That would be Worthing road.
Always said if banners ever went so will attercliffe,wasnt wrong eh.
True!
Hardly anything left from when I was a child, though I do remember Banners store.
Yeah Banners - famous shop!
That traffic sounds awesome 🤩
Im going to put music over the videos from now on!
@@SheffieldVideos Not sure about music. The natural noises make it more atmospheric.
That brought back memories when I was younger visiting the Omega massage parlour huhhum
🤣
Where should we film next? Which areas of Sheffield would you like to see us film?
love to see one up Staniforth road / into Darnall fella, Darnall was an old stomping ground, i was born there, then later on hung around there
@@melthebell33 Yes Darnall ok I knew it well. What about the "edges" of Sheffield on the Peak District and dams side. So close, and potential tourists should know about the area !
Good shout!
Grimesthorpe. If you think the Cliffe has changed.....
Try "Salmon Pastures!" between Norfolk Bridge & Stevenson Road? The river Don there used to be full of old bikes and prams before the "Salmon came back?"
Did you go past the famous city sauna
ha ha not sure - I don't know which building it is!
Would you mind to show us which parts of Sheffield are the best for family living please
Will do!
can you do woodhouse thanks,
Definitely yes! Watch this space!...
Remember going to Banners
Ah yes - legendary shop!
I was born on the Cliffe in 1944 and don't recall a Brinswoirth Street? I do remember Bodmin Street with my uncles Barrow at the junction? And Huntsmans Gardens School Halfway along it before the Pakistani Muslims moved in?
Hmmmm the mystery of Brinsworth Street begins!

It all looked very depressing, derelict and unloved.
Yeah it needs work!
