A block of shops that contains the former Sheffield Savings Bank and nine-roomed flat where I used to live with my parents many years ago. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1226951 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1232062 Previously to that we lived in a house up this road to the right - 56 Bolehill Lane, which has since been demolished. I saw the winter of '47 in that house, when the snow drifted above the height of the back door. As a family, we didn't live on a diet of fish & chips, but many's the time I've been in this chip shop.
