I'm old person now and no longer live in Sheffield. I really loved the City when I was young. Just at the traffic lights at Darnall is now a light shop this was a Cinema at the time though it was called Darnall Cinema it was either called Little Dicks some times and the other name was The Bug Hut. I work occasionally in the Darnall Liberal Club occasionally behind the bar but was the resident DJ from 1975 until 1984. The Libs was one of the best Working Men,s Clubs in Sheffield. The community was really down to earth and lovely people, at Christmas time it would take over £30.000, a really busy Club. It was a sorry day it burnt down as it was the heart of Darnall. Thank you for the memories.

I was born in Handsworth, Sheffield, but moved to Australia in the 1960's. I now live in Sunshine Coast, Queensland. I holidayed in New Zealand in 2002; Beautiful country.

I used to walk from Darnall up Prince Of Wales Road with my Grandma as a child; She used to live on Bowden Wood Estate. So many happy memories seeing Darnall again, but in the 1950's and early 60's there were no immigrants.

I originate from Darnall and can remember the greyhound stadium that closed in 1963. They used to get big crowds at the weekend. Also the pubs and clubs, Wellington, Rose and Crown, Industry, Meadow, Darnall Green WMC, Horticultural. Enjoyed the video

I was born 88 Cravens road in Darnel in 1959 road, which no longer exits from redevelopment. I now live in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Images like this are fantastic and bring so many memories back. Yes, it had fabulous pubs for an autumn walk around, the Bell, Industry, etc.But the best end of the night day was Lomas's Fish and chip shop just before the bus stop...... Discover!!!!

love the different coloured shops.

There is only one Main Road, from the bridge (where it connects with Handsworth Road) it runs down the hill crosses Prince Of Wales Road, though Darnall terminus and turns right opposite Station Road (at the junction with Staniforth Road), then continues to the junction with Catley Road and York Road where it turns left to go passed where the Darnall Lyric cinema used to be and on to become Darnall Road. You note the 'new build housing' starting on your left from opposite Jeffcock Road, these are all built on the old Cravens premises.

Grew up on the Bowden Wood Estate, sandwiched between Darnall and Handsworth, great childhood, spent most of it in High Hazel's Park, Bowden Woods or Handsworth Rec, one of my earliest memories was seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang outside Wigfalls ( latterly Wilko) Reading comments about the Light Shop being a former Cinema, wondering now if it was there to public use the film? Played for Darnall Wesley football team in the Bible class league, early 80s, Happy Days!! Then spent a few years working out of the old dairy building next to the bridge on Broughton lane

It may only make a short video, but on Wincobank avenue there are some really nice sculptures on the green there. You could start at Shiregreen club (full monty) before it gets demolished and go round the sculptures and could then zoom down Newman road past Brendan Ingalls gym and down to the sculpture of the boxing gloves on barrow road.
