Typical pub circuit around the town in the 80s on any weekend, this video however is filmed one Sunday morning April 2024 Music: CZcams audio library: Wager with Angels
Nice to meet you matey. I remember Rotherham well back then. My mate was responsible for adding washing up liquid in the fountains on a regular basis lol
Hiya it was Sunday morning, the minster is an awesome thing it's boarded up and looks tatty cos no ones coming in to invest in it, it's a vicious circle no investers no shoppers.
Thanks John. My time would have been the mid seventies. The pub on Wellgate just before the Mailcoach was called the Cleaver inn in my time I think. You had to go upstairs to it if my memory serves me right. A good pint of Whitbreads was to be had then. Enjoyed the video very much cheers.
Where was the Tut N Shive? Bluecoats used to be my ballet school in 1960s and The Cellar Bar beneath High House.. There was SHipmates bar and club, had rave/house music. In the 80s, Peppermint PArk.
i understand the peppermint park was the revolution you at the end of the vid the tut and shive was the pub that is now kebabish and was called the Cleaver next to the Mailcoach
Whatever happened to Rotherham? Where are the people? I have lived in Australia since 2003, and can't believe what a shambles I am seeing. Such fond memories of 1970s and 1980s fun.
sadly theres not many shoppers which in turn has a knock on effect with investment, the council are building a new complex on the old forge island, i had no idea until i did the town centre videos
We have had too many migrants & asylum seekers plus loads of Eastern Europeans. I'm Rotherham born nearly 60 years & I will not go into town, you feel like you are the foreigner.
All the town centre videos were done on Sunday mornings apart from 2 and 3 which were Saturdays but as you can see sadly there's not many people about.
@@ladystardust2885 It won't do any good. The town will still have the third world hanging around in gangs looking for trouble and offending people with their smell, the parking costs will still be outrageous and the other underlying problems. These are the things that drove people out, if still there no one will come back. All these shut down shops and Rotherham council think building more is the answer? The last time they built new shops they sat empty for 3 years.
Used to be busy and loads to do before the third world came in. It is shell of what it used to be, you could spend only half an hour in each pub starting at 5 and you still couldn't visit them all in one night. All these closed down shops and building sites were thriving businesses not that long ago. You could spend a full morning going from shop to shop 20 years ago, 50 years a full day, there was even farmer markets. Now you can do it in an hour, there's nothing worth going into town for. The council ruined the town. They bullied thriving businesses out of locations so they could get the land cheap to build smaller shops on them or things the town didn't need, then cried when the same thriving businesses refused to come back and they were stuck with empty buildings for years. This had a knock on effect shutting other thriving businesses down or forcing them to move outside town. The council got greedy with the parking costs, drove more people out. The council and police refused to do something about the third world hanging around in gangs bothering people and taking things that didn't belong to them. In the end decent people just avoided the town.
Wasn't also so was a decent working class town but we know what happened to Rotherham it's name dragged through the mud and mass influx of eastern Europeans crying shame
Rotherham gets a lot of bad press and I won't call it I'm proud of where I come from. I'm not getting into politics, but no one questions owt about the Rotherham Labour Council
@@Rotherman Rotherham council have destroyed Rotherham and a labour council at that all am saying it was once a decent town i was brought up in Rotherham in the early 1963 and moved away in 2022 the decline i witness was heartbreaking
Didn't bring back amy memories for me though because I were always to pissed to remember anything lol. If you wanted a scrap, just go to The Angel or Falstaff. I used to work in a hotdog/burger van van on Saturdy nights and I saw some things then I tell thee.
Eyup John lad ,I enjoyed that it evokes memorys of early 90s when i still lived in Darnall . Sunday nights we would get taxis from the Sportsman in Darnall and get dropped of outside the Turf Tavern we then did vertually the same route as you took but after the High House (High bar them days I think) we finished of in Jakes Bar (dickens/station) then taxis back to Darnall all in all i think on the night we did 10 pubs 11 max , we only supped halfs tho !! Thanks for the memorys and al sithi ( si di if your'e from Sheffield Lol) on't next un😄👍👍 PS used to feel shockin Monday morning at work!
Nar den dee dar....... it were the circuit weren't it? you'd do that, and see the same people in the same pubs at different times lol. until the next one Jon lad, Al Sithi
Hi Alan never heard of peppermint park I heard it was club pachas or sommat like that before that revolution tho, early 90s my town days had ended did the odd stag night in town, that was about it. glad you like the videos.
@@Towerwatson525 it was a Sunday morning but if you mean the amount of closed shops etc I know what you mean. those burnt out at the bottom further down from the Turf, you may see them on the town centre videos I did, just last week they started demolishing them.
The original Turf tavern was at the side of the white Hart, where those coffee shops are now on upper mill gate and closed in 1915, moving onto corporation street where I showed at the start.
I think the pub near the Mail Coach was called the Cleaver.
Hi Jon, Thanks for the info it completely escaped my memory.
Nice to meet you matey.
I remember Rotherham well back then.

Hi Mike was you the guy at the pub with the dog?

02:34 That beauty of a church, my God you can see how the UK is in decline, its deserted in a horrible way and boarded up

Hi Samantha, I never knew that, possibly because I never went that side of town, only in my college days to the Charters sometimes at lunch times.
Shipmates
It was called the cleaver just down from the mail coach
Any relation to John Gleeson?
