Fulwood Road, SHEFFIELD, S10 3BA

On Fulwood Road (A57).

From right to left. Record Collector – Music, Video & Games Shop (described as a dangerously addictive record shop, with vinyl store next door), Trio – jewellers, Fox & Duck – public house. Described as, being owned by the University Students Union and has a positive attitude towards student concerns - namely cheap beer. The most interesting thing about the place, is that you can bring in your own food and the venue supplies cutlery, crockery and condiments as long as customers buy a drink. This was my grandfather’s favourite pub. Next is Help the Aged – a charity shop. Scotts - Ladies and Gentlemen's Hairdressing, The Potter’s House – a gift shop, On a Roll – sandwich shop and Strand – hair and beauty salon, which is at the junction with Nile Street. I think it’s safe to say that in a typical row like this, the only places that will be as they were many years ago, will be the pubs and the banks. The Fox & Duck was built in the early 1830s and has remained as such. The shops will have changed their identity many times.

When I worked at Wade & Ellis, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/934074 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/983944 during the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, the shops here were very different. For a start, the shop frontages were, more or less, where the inside edge of the traffic island is. When they were demolished, the South Sea Hotel went with them. The shops included Patrick’s, Haberdashers – Horace Cooke, Watch Repairers – Arthur Davy & Sons Ltd., Pork Butchers and General Grocers – H Naylor, Decorator – Lampost, Pet Stores – Collins, Bakers – Sine Electric Co. Ltd., Electrical Goods – Ellen Summers, Tobacconists and Shinnah Ltd., Ladies Outfitters. There was a passageway between the pet stores and the decorators, which led up some steps to a courtyard, houses, what appeared to be redundant stables, a Sports Good Manufacturers and Spooner Road. The courtyard was probably used to offload goods for the shops and beer barrels for the pub, but I never saw any delivery vehicles use it in the six years I worked for Wade & Ellis. Well, the Cottage Industry was demolished, the South Sea Hotel got rebuilt http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1006967 and a new block of shops went up, but instead of using the courtyard for parking, the shops were pushed back and a car park was built on their roofs. I don’t know why this all came about, nor if anyone thought it was an improvement, but the car park seem to have brought conflict http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1007127 and the South Sea Hotel just seems to have been dumped around the corner http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1006975

A view from the controversial rooftop car park, down onto Fulwood Road. The large building on the horizon is the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1007127

The pub was built in the early 1830s, Broomhill had four others, the Ball, Broomhill Tavern, South Sea, and the Travellers Inn, and a few shops.
