    Looking past Cheapside and up Sheffield road

    You would have had Woolies behind you and Burtons further round.

    "But the baby" - oh how we laughed when we saw that from the Gyngleboy

    The traffic cop with the handlebar moustache.....

    There he is.... his usual post was at the bottom of New Street intersection with Sheffield Road, maybe fifty yards further on... Is that Oldfields pie n peys caravan?........

    I'd guess that picture to be around 1966

    maybe it is just nostalgia.... but that is better than the blandness which it was put in its place..

    even as early teenagers....

    we knew that Barnsley was losing its soul..... still, they fixed it all up by building the Alhambra Centre (yes?)
