Mr. Frederick Phoenix - The Phoenix Theatre, Langsett Road, Sheffield

Many years ago I posted an article to the site on The Phoenix Theatre Langsett Road Sheffield. And like many other articles on the site I have added information and material as it becomes available..   

I was researching another article just recently and I cam across this obituary for Mr Frederick Phoenix, the proprietor of The Phoenix Theatre 

From the Sheffield Daily Telegraph dated 25th September 1926

What I did not know is that The Phoenix Theatre was the first "Picture Palace" in Hillsborough and only the third in the whole of Sheffield. The first "Picture Palace" in Sheffield was the Tivoli in Norfolk Street Sheffield 

Colonel's House Hillsborough Barracks Langsett Road Sheffield

I came across this photograph of the Colonel's House which was adjacent to the Hillsborough Barracks on Langsett Road in Sheffield

I have never seen a photograph of this house. I have vague recollections of passing it when I was a boy and of the petrol station. But I have no idea of when or why the house (and petrol station) were demolished.

The site is now a transport interchange for the local area
