When I lived in the Abbeydale area 70 years ago I used to take tram rides to Woodseats, walks in Abbey Lane and the golf course area where an old church was. Do not remember much. It is very different. Trams gone and buses painted in funny colours. Would love to live in the Woodseats area though, and have walks in Graves Park. Thanks for the video.

She certainly is, they took the shop over from me when I eventually decided it was time to go, and even after so long, I still miss being in the shop and seeing all the lovely customers. Fab vid btw, Sheffield Videos, thanks for posting it.

I used to live on Scarsdale Road for a year. Loved it there. Would have stayed longer but the landlord wanted to sell the house

Thank you Big Tree

The Italian/Mexican restaurant at the top of The Dale used to be a barbers and a cobblers shop. I remember the barber was called Horace, he used to work alone although he had 2 chairs in the shop. Mum used to send us up to him after school, having already paid Horace in the morning for our haircuts. We used to ask for the style we wanted, but we always got a short back and sides or scrape as we called it. We didn't find out until years later that mum had already told him the style she wanted, Horace never let on to us but used to apologise and say he'd accidentally taken too much off!!. Also remember Ralph Round the newsagents, he was opposite the bottom of Chantrey Road, He used to have a 6d (in old money) box with kids toys. There was always a huge debate in Woodseats about the best Fish and chip shop, The one opposite the Big Tree or Fergusons, which is Woodseats Fisheries now. Enjoyed watching the film, thankyou.

I used to live at Norton Lees but moved away at the age of 12 in 1961. I used to walk down to the library with my Dad but it was in a different building from now. However I recognised the entrance to Graves Park, the bottom of Cobnar Road - often walked down there, it was steep. Recognised bottom of Haughton Road and Chantry Road and I think you ended at Scarsdale Road. I think I saw the film The Carousel at Woodseats Palace Lovely walk down memory lane but it has changed a lot since my days there. Thank you so much for filming it.

@@bbsniper9052 Yes, as it happens I was driving down from Abbey Lane towards Woodseats Road just after it happened. The police had closed Chesterfield Road and there was a car on its roof in front of Chantrey pub. There was also a small red car that had been hit in the crash. I believe the red car was one of the delivery guys who work for the Zizzona pizza place opposite the Chantrey Pub. According to those who run Chantrey pub and were upstairs when the car crashed and overturned into the pubs front windows, the driver of the overturned car was driving at excessive speed. There were apparently witnesses who filmed the aftermath on their mobiles. All the traffic was made to either do a U turn or go up other streets to get past the incident.

I thought rounds was where The Dale meets Chesterfield Rd. My nan used to buy me to Matchbox cars from there. Farm Foods was Cordon Bleu and Liptons prior to that. Spinks the baker and the COOP used to be either side of Broxholme Rd. Virgin Money was the Yorkshire Bank and H2O was indeed Tesco. I remember the Wetherspoons being the indoor market. Not old enough to know it as the picture house. I think Dos AMigos was a painting and decorating centre and El Greco an Art shop. I remember Horace Boldocks shop always having fish laid out and rabbits and game birds hanging in the shop. Hunters estate agents was the Halifax Building Society. It stood at the entry down to Gleesons. Woodseats Kebab was a KFC and the shop next door, Me Mini Market was 1 of 3 shops owned by Sammy Salvin.(2x fruit veg & 1x flower shop). Fergussons Chippy(Fergie's) is where I had 3 fishcakes every Saturday lunch time. Just after Fergies was a newsagents where I bought comics. Blundells was another Sammy Salvins shops. The 3rd shop (florists) was over the road opposite the Big Tree. I think S8 Barbers was GT News. The library was a one story building that was set back from the road. - I have many memories of Woodseats. Nan and Grandad lived on Scarsdale and I spent most weekends and school holidays there.

Sunair Travel Agents and Woodeats Camera Shop there was also a Sewing Machine shop sold sewing machines and knitting machines and wool,..... I saw Blundells are still there but bigger shop.... otherwise its a damn mess lots of new buildings what a shame. Sheffield has been destroyed by a council gone mad. Didnt the Baldwin bros also own a restaurant down there with VALETS parking your car for you? Posh place..... they also owned The Omega (David Baldwin) and his brother had CLIMAX in Dronfield. Horrid how its changed...... The Big Tree used to be very popular in Summer people sat out drinking 1970's it was always packed to the brim Friday night and Saturday night before us teens headed down town to night clubs.....
