Throughout the 20th Century Sheffield was home to many amateur and professional filmmakers. In the early 1990's two videos 'Bygone Sheffield' and 'Bygone Sheffield Revisited' were released featuring many of these archive films. The videos have now been digitally remastered and compiled onto DVD with an interactive menu to allow users to access the many different clips. The DVD includes over 100 mins of film showing the Sheffield our grandparents knew... The DVD and a VHS version are available from the Sheffield Star, and by mail order.

Back in the early 1980s, there used to be a pub in Sheffield called Woodstock Diner. It was set out like an American diner, but of course the waitresses spoke with local accents--all except one: she not only looked straight out of a Woody Allen movie, but talked like it too. It turned out that her name was Amy Allison, and she had left Long Island to live in Sheffield with her husband. ( I found that out when I met them both at an evening class.) Much to my surprise, Amy loved living in Sheffield! She adored: Castle Market; The Kashmir, on Spital Hill; The Leadmill; and, of course, the beautiful suburbs and their framing countryside. Most of all. Amy loved the friendliness of Sheffielders, so much so that-- when her husband wanted to move back to work in New York--she did her best to persuade him to stay. Her efforts were unsuccessful, and the couple returned to the US at the end of 1983. A couple of months ago, I looked her up on facebook; obviously, there were a lot of Amy Allisons to filter through; but I found her her eventually. Amy was really pleased to hear from me, because she had just recorded a new CD; it is called Sheffield Streets. The title song is a love song to the city of Sheffield
