ATTERCLIFFE SHEFFIELD - A video tour of Attercliffe in Sheffield filmed in 4k

[@robertp.wainman4094]

What a great video - pity the same thing couldn't have been done in Attercliffe's bustling heyday. Thanks for making and posting. My Grandparent's had a grocery shop and beer off on the corner of Chippingham Street and Shirland Lane where furnacemen would quench their thirst from jugs of Duncan Gilmour's 'slape ale.' My Mother's first job was at the 'Boston Shoe Company' in Attercliffe - where she loved trying on the latest fashionable footwear! Anyone remember it?

[@SheffieldVideos]

Thank you for watching I'd recommend also checking out the Sheffield History website as I think they will definitely remember Boston Shoes! Www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk ♥️

Excellent video. First time I've seen clear blue skys over Attercliffe. I saw the 'King and I' at the Adelphi with my parents when I was about 6 in the 1950s. There was also a cinema at the foot of Staniforth Road, which was very popular. Staniforth Road was named after a mayor of Liverpool.

[@SheffieldVideos]

Wow amazing - never knew that! Thank you so much for the information!

[@Ade2adesign]

Wow im pleasantly surprised! Left sheffield in 82 but used to go to this area when wagging school. It really has changed! Would love to see sharrow vale road walking up to hunters bar. Did that walk to school each day. Been told it’s a very trendy area now?

[@SheffieldVideos]

Thank you for the idea Adrian - have added to the list so watch this space!

Hi! I was a student studying at Sheffield in the mid 90s. It would be great if you could film (or drive through video) Crookes, Broomhill and the university students residences like Earnshaw, Ranmoor area and also the university buildings like Arts Tower, Firth Court etc. Cheers!

[@SheffieldVideos]

Hi there and thanks for checking out our videos. Much appreciated. Those sound like great ideas. We already had Crookes and Broomhill on the list, but will add the others too :) Stay tuned - we'll get filming!

[@elnino_ix]

Sheffield Videos thanks! Looking forward to the videos! Keep up the good work :)

7.40 The Queens Head on the corner of Shirland Lane, and a Newsagents next door, I used to got in that Newsagents every weekday for a paper, I think there was an evening star back then too. The Car sales place used to be a FineFare supermarket, also on that side was a bookmakers a furniture shop on the other corner and a Slacks Bakery Shop, Slacks did great dripping cakes. yummm. Across the street was a little B&C Coop, a Reddifusion shop, Frankern Motors was in that area too, (Frank and Ernie), it became the very successful Sheffield Auto Hire van rental business, its where Enterprise sits now across from the Queens Head. I used to work for Brooks Shaw's in the early 70's, they were an old Ford Dealer located on Gibraltar St in town, they had a bodyshop in Attercliffe its where I worked, The front gate was on Brinsworth street and the back gate was on Shirland Lane, so the building and land was that full block, its now a janitorial warehouse, I sometimes used to have a walk around Banners, what a great shop that was, Burtons was on the Corner, Id have a good walk down Attercliffe Rd, there wasn't much there at the time, other than British steel and other steel works, many terraced homes where derelict but there were swap shops, pubs, old theaters and a few cheap car lots, it was a run down area with some decent chippies, I have Great Memories of those days. Thanks for this Video Neil.

[@sextoncardew903]

I left Sheffield 68 years ago for OZ with my parents when I was 16. I have been back for visits but not since the 90's, and I think of Sheffield often. Thank goodness for Sheffield videos who are keeping me so informed. I was aware that Attercliffe was an industrial area when I left, particularly in steel manufacturing. Is there any heavy industry left ?

[@SheffieldVideos]

There is but it's all packed together in smaller buildings now

[@ederkis]

Cannot remember a lot of this, changed so much. Was hoping to see if my fathers police station was still standing in some form. Dad used to take me in sometimes to sit with the telephonist who had a knit one pearl one switchboard and she let me put the plugs in. How times have changed. What about covering Broomhill and Crosspool

[@SheffieldVideos]

Gloria great idea Gloria we will do both of those!

[@paulreynolds3582]

Hi Gloria I'm a little late with this, but the old police station on Whitworth Lane was demolished in about 1990. A new one was built nearby. |Take a look at picturesheffield.com if you want to see the old one. Just put in "Whitworth Lane" and there are some pictures of it. They have thousands of other pictures of Sheffield too! Paul

[@sajidkhanmahmood]

Thanks for the great video again. That restaurant the Indus is easily over 30 plus years old now seems to have stood the test of time and there used to be another popular one in Atterclife rd called Islamabad but i dont see it now.

[@SheffieldVideos]

I’ve never been in the Indus. Like you say it’s been there most of my life too!

[@andywright3450]

Hey Neil great video matey keep them comeing please 😊

[@SheffieldVideos]

Thanks 👍

What happened to Staniforth Rd ( my Auntie's sweet shop oppos' a Cinema) attended Woodbourne Rd ( infants/Primary, Palmer St, Broad Oaks( lived there) ? I was born 1943, left in 1951.

[@waveydavey12]

I was born in Great Northen hospital in 47 and left Sheffield when I was 6years old.I used to live in Short street and can still remember the hammers as they were called in Askern street.I have seen vidoes of Sheffield since but none of Short street,I know it has been pulled down but would still like to walk where it was.

[@SheffieldVideos]

Will have to have a nosey on the Sheffield History website - I'm sure there will be stuff on there

[@nathentisme]

It would clarify the these tours if basics map showing route taken were added to the introduction. I remember Banners, Zion Kongs cubs, and my 1st girlfriend Carol Green school May Queen in 1950 ish. Well done folk.

[@SheffieldVideos]

Great idea! I'll try and do that!

[@melthebell33]

Walked to and from that first bit so many times, used to go to gigs at Take 2 club, Corona fashions on the corner back then lol

[@SheffieldVideos]

mel the bell take 2 club! That’s what I was trying to remember when I did this video!

[@melthebell33]

@@SheffieldVideos yeah on staniforth road, then it turned into an islamic community centre or someat

[@SheffieldVideos]

@@melthebell33 Yeah I know the one now!

[@sajidkhanmahmood]

wasnt there also an asian clothes shop called Bombay fashions right near there.

[@melthebell33]

@@sajidkhanmahmood Bombay fashions rings a bell fella

[@henrywalker5746]

Brinsworth Street? Make that Bodmin Street where I used to go to Huntsmans Garden School!

[@SheffieldVideos]

Ahh did I get it wrong? Apologies - I think Bodmin Street and Brinsworth Street are next to each other - I must have got them the wrong way round! I imagine that Huntman Garden School has gone now?

[@globaltreats]

Nice content. What settings do you use on your GoPro, if you don't mind me asking.

[@SheffieldVideos]

Just set to auto mostly if I'm honest! Just press record and off I go!

[@henrywalker5746]

try stovin road? just off greenland road across from the end of shepcote lane?

[@SheffieldVideos]

Good suggestion - will check it out now Henry!

[@sajidkhanmahmood]

Hope you can do Netheredge and Abbeydale rd too mate at some point i think i might have asked before apologies if i already have memorys not the best these days:)

[@SheffieldVideos]

Yeah we are definitely going to film those. Rain is expected next few days so will see if it’s doable otherwise might have to wait till we get sun again

[@davidslater2307]

This is good but could be so much better Needs music, information and references to landmarks .... the Bank pubs baths library BANNERS BURTONS ADELPHI and OLP not even on it Attercliffe is steeped in History .... get editing

[@SheffieldVideos]

Everyone likes different things David. I've tried music and got told never to put it on videos again. I've tried the information and references and got told people didn't wait it Trial and error.

[@davidslater2307]

Credit to you for your efforts but missing the OLP is a mistake.... and the baths and Library! .... maybe you should do part 2 OLP TO MEADOWHALL

[@SheffieldVideos]

Will have a look at it for sure! Thanks David - some good constructive points there

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

I’m Sheffield born n bred, Dad worked at Hollow Drill and Star Welding. Mom worked at Banners. I left Sheffield In 1996 I hardly recognise much here 💀👎🏻👎🏻 Thanks for sharing

[@SheffieldVideos]

You're really welcome Michael thanks for watching our videos. Appreciated. Loads more to come too

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Attercliffe Baths & Library, I think was where you noted the hotel? But so much has changed I struggled. Is The Haunted Carbrook Hall still there. That’s where the Brightside & Carbrook (BC) Co-operative got their name.

[@SheffieldVideos]

@@Yorkshiremadmick I'm not too well informed on Attercliffe If I'm honest so will have to do some homework on it !

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Sheffield Videos Carbrook Hall was Sheffield’s most haunted back in the 60’s. Broughton Lane Was so named as Mr Broughton was the last man to be hanged in Sheffield

[@SheffieldVideos]

@@Yorkshiremadmick Thank you Michael - didn't know that!

[@neilhaywood4963]

Alot cleaner now than in the 70s

Very true!

I was born on Howden Road in 1944!!!

[@henrywalker5746]

When I was Born the Germans tried to bomb the Tram Tracks on Attercliffe road! The Indus Nor Islamabad was even thought about?
