The Gaumont & City Hall

A Memory of Sheffield.

Barkers Pool to me will always mean the Gaumont (ex Regent) Cinema and the City Hall.The Sheffield Gaumont was one of my favourite cinemas. My first visit was to see 'The Great Escape' followed by 'Mary Poppins' and I spent many a Saturday afternoon there in its luxurious surroundings.I also remember seeing Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck live on the Gaumont stage. Across the road at the City Hall I saw many of Sheffields Big Amateur Operatic Societys Musical shows there after the Lyceum closed in 1969 and prior to its great reopening in 1990. Only the City Hall remains now of one of Sheffield's former entertainment areas.
