Abbeydale Picture House





The view of the Picture House from Machon Bank.
Nearly everywhere I have lived in Sheffield has meant travelling past Abbeydale Picture House en route to the city centre ("town"). For the most part I knew it as Drakes (an office equipment company), as this was the name of the company that owned the building from the mid-seventies. I've never been inside, but am going to make an effort to do so now. For a good insight into the Picture House visit their website.

A very classy building from an unusual p.o.v.

I lived in Sheffield for about 5 or 6 years in the 70s, latterly on Abbeydale Road above the "Railwayana" shop (#745). I doubt it is still there as the owner would be in his 80s now. Looking forward to seeing the old and the new of Sheffield through your welcome new blog.
