Menschen In Sheffield (1965) 

Nice to see my wife aged 15 in the market with here dad

My Grandad playing the piano😊

outstanding film. This is the best film I have seen of Sheffield. That fly on the wall style is fantastic. Great subject to build the film around. I love that he takes time to look at detail, picks people out, and let's the film speak for itself (it doesn't matter the commentary is in German) A great picture of a great community and a great city

The scene with the little girl being left out in the play ground was so sad I wanted to cry. Hard working people their faces carved with expressions that tell a story about the life that they lead. I was just a young kid back then, remember being dragged around the Castle Market and other places hahaha. A different time a different world and mostly not for the better as of leaving this comment on 20/5/2022.

I’m a Rotherham lad who in 1967 left school to join the ‘de da’s’ in the Sheffield Steelworks. It was like joining a different culture. Later in life I worked in several other countries from South Africa to South Korea, but always thought it amazing that anyone not from Sheffield could be expected to make steel!

That poor girl all on her own , so desperately wanted to join them 😔

Lots of memories there for some people, i kept pausing it to see if i recognised any older long lost family members-but alas no, thanks for sharing :)

Thank you!

Wow That girl has a great voice

I was twelve then and lived at Southey. My cousin lived in Wynyard Road with her family. Brought back many memories.

Thank you so much for your time and patience downloading this wonderful film, brought back happy memories, thank you keep well and safe 😊

Have a stroll into Sheffield and see what they have done to the city for something no worse than a winter flu. Not one shop open in Chapel Walk and I can't imagine 50% reopening.

A wonderful record of times and situations that were near to passing when I first experienced them. This film made me smile a lot. Thank you for sharing.

Blummin ek, dunt i' meck di' feel old.

the Dial House WMC was demolished a few years ago and houses were built on the land, The front entrance building is still there and still has the Dial House Plaque but it is a private house now

Bit sad little girl left out playing ring a ring a rosers... Kids can be cruel!!!

Sheffield lad b.1955, this is a portal to the past. Such a lot of memories, the men in the rolling mills like my dad all seemed to me as a child to have huge yellow nico-stained enlarged hands, really calloused and stiff, the film shows why. Great archive film, shot at a level that sets the standard for today. Just one thought, the girl singing Dylan, she is not Helen Shapiro's older sister by any chance?

This is the old northern working class..faces lined and hardened and bodies like drawn steel..they made this country and fought and died for it ..just a thought and a reminder to the predatory social elites

That had to be the most lifeless bingo master I've ever heard.

I'm intrigued to find out why a German Documentary film was taking an interest in the Menschen in Sheffield? And the Dial House Club and steelworks? I wonder which works they filmed in the documentary? My Dad used to work at Firth Brown's until 1984 & Thatcher! He used to tell me many a great story about working there. Who was the original broadcaster of this documentary?

I like the Music duo at 16.20 min the good Old days 👍

mps should see this

no phones cheap beer happy time

“Thank you please!"

Lost England

By eck, it's grim up north. Looking back, now, it's like scenes from the zombie apocalypse ;)

Decent turn on at dial t'neet..

Shame there's not an English translation, Sheffield in times past.

Aye them wert days 👍 I was born in 73 🤣
