I remember walking through the Hole In The Road with my friends back in 1972; I don't live in the UK anymore but apparently the hole doesn't exist today.
Excellent, but I'm always disappointed by the number of people who are too lazy to give content like this a "Thumbs up". Almost ten thousand views at time of writing but only 286 bothered to give it a like.
My mother and grandparents were bombed out of their home in Glencoe Road, Norfolk Park by a land mine. They had to go and stay with relatives until the house was made habitable again. My grandmother had a photograph of King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth surveying the damage.
After one of the bombing raids, all the houses in our street had all the windows broken on blast side. A lot of the windows were then boarded up because there was no glass available.
At the Indus curry restaurant, the toilets were off the stairs as you walked down into it so the staff did not know if you were going to the toilet or doing a runner. used to go regularly one time a mate did a runner without telling any of us.
I remember my grandad walking me & my younger brother up the Moor & back to William street where we lived every Monday, (Wash day). I think my Mum said, “Get them out from under my feet & tire them out”.😊. He always made us called at the toilets at Moorhead before we set off back home.
Ah much the great Yorkshire war cry. My aunt Evelyn was a bus sonductress in Sheffield for a short time and her husband my uncle Jim was a bus driver she looks very much like her fromk the side ???
Good question, I wondered the same myself. I've looked at old maps and they clearly show all the other pubs on Hollinsend Road (The New Inn, The Hollin Bush etc) but no sign of the Yew Tree. I can only presume it may have been where Hollinsend Road used to meet Gleadless Road, possibly the building that is now known as Hollinsend Corner. Would love to hear if anyone knows better!
Makes me think of grandma. Xxx
Si thee!, it wer reet grand that.

Silly music put me off.. No need for silly music.
And what music would you recommend?
@@justoldsheffieldphotos7868 None. There is no need for music with a video like this. Silence is Golden.
That's why we have volume buttons.
