Coles Corner

W/C 3rd March 2025

Todays notes come courtesy of Wikipedia;

Coles Corner is the name given to the corner of Fargate and Church Street in Sheffield, in sight of the cathedral. It was the site of the old Cole Brothers department store until it moved to Barker's Pool in 1963.

The corner is famous in Sheffield as a place to meet for a first date. A plaque put up by the Rotary Club now marks the spot and ensures its local history is not forgotten.

I mention this of course because of the 20th anniversary of the album by Richard Hawley, and because as I am off to Sheffield today anyway (the Blades are taking on Preston at BDBL) I might try and go and seek out that plaque.

You can find some more information and pictures here

Stay safe.

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.

If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
