After yesterday’s photo of the old Bennett’s shop front, here’s a picture of another shop just a few doors down on The Wicker, this one still in full health though. I’m not sure when the Sheffield Space Centre first moved to these premises, but it was sometime in the 80s as I recall.

I would visit regularly, browsing their wonderful stock, and buying copies of American horror movie magazines like Fangoria or special effects stuff like Cinefex. For a while a harboured a vague dream of becoming a special effects makeup artist in the vein of Tom Savini of Rick Baker or something. I went to work in an office instead…

I particularly like the Batman social distancing poster in the window. 🙂
