Stephen Fereday was born in 1952 his brother a couple of years later. They lived halfway down the top part of the Road.Yes I am older thats why I remember how Rushdale Road was. I moved there in 1954 until 1961.My Son's both went to Carfield and then Newfield Schools.Didn't you know Christine on Marylin Dobson?

Rhonda were your sons called Martin & John Hunter or have I got you mixed up in the mists of time. I used to play on Rushdale Rd back in the late 60's & remember Miss Carr always being on the warpath even (on the odd chance) when we hadn't done anything!

MEMORIES FROM HEELEY GREEN 1953 - 1981
Semi - retired moved to Spain in September, looking for bits about Sheffield came across this site, brought back some fantastic memories of Heeley Green.
I lived there from 1953 (born on Carfield St) until the council & it's steamroller of "progress" destroyed it in 1981.
Memories of Wileys (now Colins) on Heeley Green corner; the beer off where you could buy a pint of (British ) sherry & take it home in a plastic bottle for granny. Mr Bussey the butchers, always thought to be posh because he had a caravan "somewhere in Derbyshire" everyone said he made his money selling "under the counter" meat during the war (?) Chambers the fishmongers, Frank Woolhouse the newsagents, I was one of his long suffering paperboys, his wife always had a fantastic suntan "they went on cruises." His brother had a betting shop on Gleadless Rd opposite the Heeley Cinema.There was the Law sisters sweet shop, I used to spend ages deciding what to choose from their penny tray & their grandson Kenneth became a school friend at Newfield.
I remember Tingles the drapers, although my mum & the neighbours used to go in to find out the local gossip - sorry news.
Mrs Jackson had the sweetshop on the corner of Gleadless Rd & Carrfield Rd, she sold everything, it was always rather dingy, dark & smelled of cat pee, everyone's mum said not to buy anything in there because you would get THE POLIO... but kids being kids we used to indulge in her penny orange jubblies or frozen orange bottles & then go to bed fingers crossed that THE POLIO hadn't got us.
Great days, The Docker, Cat Lane Woods, all the bits of spare land for kids to play on without any worries apart from the dreaded cries around 8 o'clock "Richard/Steven/Linda/David"...add your name.. from all the mums shouting us in for bed; followed by a howl of "aaaww can't I stay out a bit longer, Andrews mum says he can" the lies we told to stay out playing for an extra ten minutes.
Truly a fantastic place to grow up in. Lots more memories but for now I' ll just say who remembers the tripe shop opposite Taggy's
Best wishes to all
If anyone remembers me Richard Jorda, My mum was Mary & my dad, from Spain was Francis, leave a message.

I remember you very well Richard. I knew your Mother and Father,he used to help me with Spanish.I had just stated to have lessons at that time. Martin has been in football all his life he is now head coach for Watford.John is abroad most of the time.Both married with kids.What have you been doing? Your memories of Heeley strike lots of cords. How long is it since you were in Heeley?I'll tell Martin and John about this. Best Wishes Joan Hunter aka Rhonda.

Hi Joan
Many thanks for your reply, what a fantastic coincidence that I visited the forum at the same time your message was on it. I spoke to my long time friend on the 'phone (& your ex neighbour) Keith Allen about it & he said it had to be you because there were too many similarities - 2 sons, Carrfield, Newfield, Rushdale Rd, Miss Carr... small world.
My partner & I moved over to Spain last September to the actual house my dad was born in after spending 8 -10 years rebuilding, remortgaging, then remortgaging again, with lots of blood sweat & gallons of tears.
Regarding Heeley; the irony is after I left in 1981 I went to work with adults with learning difficulties at the back of the old school house on Gleadless Road, somewhere I used to play as a kid. I then worked for the NHS as a manager of a mens health centre, and then as their lead trainer in diversity & equality before starting my own training & consultancy business.
Decided a coupler of years ago that although I used to love Sheffield I no longer felt the same, it had changed & so had I. Also working all over the country had lost the buzz that it originally gave me & I realized I needed to start thinking about ME for the first time in my life. So now I am freelancing teaching English in Spain.
SO... I put one post on the forum & here we are.
I have so many memories of Heeley Green & all the happy times spent playing on Kent Hill, around the scout hut, avoiding the dispeasure of Miss Carr who seemed to want Keith, your Martin & me sent to borstal just for walking past her window!!! (She may have had a point)
I do hope you are well, great to hear Martin & John are doing fine; I remember Newfields Mr Wilson (chinney) back in 1970 telling all of our class that we would never amount to much because we had an "attitude" - we also had longish hair, trench coats & liked the new rock music that was so important to us - well I think we proved him wrong many times over.
Best wishes & I will tell Keith we have "spoken"
Keep reading the forum I have lots more memories to share.
Richard

Hi,Rhonda Ive not been to Rushdale for years keep threatning to but not got round to it yet. Did you notice whether the scout hut is still there. I well remember the old wooden footbridge we use to walk across the hand rail, Ive fell off many a time and gone with a splash. The old house that Duffens mentions has always been a eyesore the owner used to keep old motor cars on the land in front of it. They had a few summonses from the council but it didnt make any difference. I can remember the old gas lamp with a cross on it. Can you remember anyone called Christine Hunter who went to Carfield ive tried to trace her but got nowhere.
DAVIDED

Hiya Matey, as you can see I've been re-reading a few back pages and wondered if you've got back to Rushdale yet cos' I had the opportunity to have a sneaky look round earlier in the week.
Yes the Scout hut is still there but not the one we knew, it's built of bricks these days, smaller than the original and looking at the weathering of the bricks it's been up some time. Canterbury Ave., has'nt changed at all i.e. never seen asphalt.
What tickled me were the long yards like the ones Lol Richardson and the Freemans lived in, well there not so long now because everyone has fenced off their little bit and put gates up etc., they look like stockades one after another, I can see Davy Crocket and his mates as I type. Mine was a short visit, it was fascinating, what was said by the girls re Dr. Thompsons place is spot on, whoever did that to it should be ashamed, it's a disgrace and we all know about the place next to the old bridge, it's just got worse.

Overall you think My God what have they done to the place but then you think again, it's still got the atmosphere, places could do with a lick of paint and will probably get one when the weather gets better, No.120 (yes, your old place) needs a new number plate or the old one needs a screw in one side. I came away feeling that with a little bit of TLC, Meersbrook could be as nicer place as the one we grew up in.

I suggest you and I get together one day and have a good amble round before going for a pint and a sarny. When you're ready, give me a nod.

Hi Neil,
I would very much like to have a pint and an amble round as you can see Ive got my priorities the right way round. Anytime suits me Neil, ill leave it up to you

Hi

I attended Annes road from 1952 to 1958 then on to newfield boys.
We lived at 160 prospect road about 5 houses above the sheaf view hotel the put is still open but totally changed over the years.
we lived in back to back houses they were very small and only had one downstairs room one bedroom attic and a cellar.
Yes thats right no toilet or bathroom in those days just a zinc bath once or twice a week if you were lucky.
Just a coal fire to keep warm in the winter people used to warm a metal plates in the oven and then wrap it in a sheet and put it in bed to take the cold chill away.
Thankfully those days are long gone and we all now hopefully have a good standard of accomidation.
My cousin also went to annes road and carfield about the same time is name is Keith Ferris.
Hope you enjoy your visit I have been to Aus and it's wonderful
Ian


Hi Angela !
Thanks for your response to my notice. You are obviously much younger than I. My sister Rita and her friends Ann and Kathleen Adams went to Anns Road and Newfield Green Schools, maybe you know of them.
I am interested to know where you lived in Heeley and what your name was back then. We lived in the row of houses at the side of the Heeley Green Pictures, opposite the shops.
Bye for now. :D

Hi

My cousin also went to annes road and carfield about the same time is name is Keith Ferris.

Hi Ian, When you lived on Prospect Road, do you recall a family named Goodison please. I'm tracing my family tree and I remember a brother & sister, may be Susan Goodison. I lived in Meersbrook then Alexandra Road and went to Carfield School around the same time as you lived on Prospect Road.

Anyone out there, preferably with parents / grandparents who were Heeley residents. Help please in finding out about Stella Hemmings, an old school days friend of my Mom.
Stella would be born approx 1910, could still be alive, now that would be something !
Any info please would be most appreciated.

Rhonda, was Connie the one who used to deliver milk on a bike with a big basket on the front (not Connie the bike) i think this was before she started using her car.Wasnt it someone called Warns that had the milk round. Are you from Rushdale Rhonda im curious to know how you knew my dear old Mom she`s 83 now and still going strong. Shes just had a load of workmen in her Bungalow refurbishing it and loved every minute of it

i remember connie of rushdale road in the 70s she used to look after my old black lab for me when i went to work we became great friends she told me some great old tales of life on rushdale road

There was a milkman named Frank Wornes who lived on Albert Road, he used to deliver the milk on a pushbike with a "barrow" on the front. He was well known for calling at several hostelries along his route so customers at the end of his round could receive their milk delivery rather late! You could see his bike parked up outside the Red Lion, Crown (Chesterfield Road) and the Myrtle on Alexandra Road.

hi, jonh c and tosh, ilived on tillotson rd a bit younger than you two, dave turley used to babysit for me, my gram ahd grandad lived next door to mcateers on midland rd, we lived opposite bill robbo `s family, my mum still doing well(ann pinder), love to hear from any people from around that era,( what days).

Does anyone remember St Stephens on Gifford Road.
It was a sunday school and a youth club on I think Tuesday nights.
It wasnt a church, just a house with a large room upstairs.
Gifford Road was just off Chippinghouse road but at the bottom close to Heeley bottom.
Carol

I was born in Heeley in 1966 (cambridge place) both my parents were born there as well - dad on kent road (tony gill
)mom on walden road- june marshall, my grandad was a coal merchant- edwin marshall.

Apparently a few houses on Valley Road were fish and chip shops as well as houses and sold the food from the front windows!! I also remember the little terrace house on Heeley Green that was between 2 shops (one of which was the Herbalists where as a treat mom would take me for a drink (I think it was Vimto or Saspirella) out of the pump on the counter. And Tingles drapers - when I was little that place used to amaze me with all the wooden drawers. Does anyone remember Deans shop on Cambridge Road and Jims fish and chip shop????

Hi nerosun I am Tosh ,my sister is Jayne,Bill Robbo broke into our house during the day & pinched a fiver out of my Mum's purse,he got caught,but he was a crazy lad,but he suffered from depression.He used to walk around singing wandering star,with big holes in his shoes.

Hiya tosh, my mum was friends with maureen robertson (bills sister), and when he and his mum (eva), moved to eastern ave (arbour) i used to accompany my mum sometimes , one particular time bill was in their back garden round a little fire, when i got nearer he was cooking a hedgehog ( on my life) anyone who knew him would know i`am not telling lies, anyway when he was on his own you would not believe he was the same person, i do`nt know if it was because i was younger but he came across has a nice bloke, sadly not long after that i heard that h`ed been out had a skinfull and unfortunately choked on his own vomit, sad end.

Yes it was depoix,he was always good for a laugh,he made us all laugh at his daft jokes & he loved Clint Eastwood ,he used to tell us about the films he had seen because we were too young to go & see them.

Yes it was depoix,he was always good for a laugh,he made us all laugh at his daft jokes & he loved Clint Eastwood ,he used to tell us about the films he had seen because we were too young to go & see them.i had some great laughs with billie, we once came out of the shakey and were heading for beauchief, he found a frog.he went round the back of the shops and came out with a large cardboard box that at one time held packets of park drive ciggies, then he put a brick in the box and the frog

when we got outside woodseats cop shop the copper shouted, robbo, what you got in that box ?

a frog he called back, they waved him in, a minute later the box came flying out,the frog and the brick,and robbo..:hihi::hihi:

another time we were in the chippie at heeley green robbo walked in and the kid in front of us pulled out a knife saying he would kill him as he hated him

robbo opened his shirt and said...stick in here big man...the kid did,then legged it..

billie was a great artist,he could draw anything and make it look like a photograph,he also knew a lot about nature,he would always come with us if we fished the river sheaf and would name all the birds ,and in autumn would collect pockets full of nuts for us to eat on our way home

he was a joker, but a great bloke, god bless him..:)

yes the saccos were a lovely family havent seen them for ages but i have moved so thats probably why :suspect: :hihi:

gary saccomandos 2 sons now run the garage on wilson place

billie died through drink and an overdose, we were with him the night before,he drew me some pictures of the hollies and the rolling stones,they were brilliant, we heard he was arguing with his brother,threw something at him,the brother ducked and slipped down the stairs, billy thought he had killed him and took the tablets on top of the beer and that was that

I recall Bill showing some drawings he had done on a small writing pad,he had talent no doubt,it was a shame how he ended up,he used to say crash & burn ,I didn't understand the meaning of those words when I was a kid ,certainly do now.I remember the Red Lion I put my hand through the glass door on the way to the toilet,I tripped over some new marley tiles they had put down ,one corner was stuck up & my hand was a right mess & to top it all I got sodding barred.

Hi,Does any one remember a lad called Clive barber,his sisters name was Carol who used to live down valley road on a side road called Bradbury street,which i don't think exists any more,the last time i heard from him was a long time ago and i heard he had moved to the batemoor estate,he was a Great friend and we used to hang around together at heeley green.

Clive barber used to be at Carfield School with me and my husband.

hello everybody! LEN

Hi Len and welcome to the forum.Tosh

Hi again,
We both attended Carrfield Schools as we both lived on Upper Valley Road . We later moved to Alexandra Road & Albert Road respectively and still attended Carrfield Secondary but were sent to Anns Road which had an Annexe for the overspill from Carrfield. In 1962 when Carrfield closed down we went to Newfield Boys and wifey (cleverclogs) to Brincliffe Grammar School. Wife lived next door to George Bowers milkman on Alexandra Road and I lived next door to Frank Wornes milkman on Albert Road, he was always in the pub , a very obvious sign was his three-wheeler bike with the milkcrate-front parked outside! We moved from Heeley when we married in 1970.
We remember Drakes shop on Anns Road, Drakey had 2 daughters who went to school with us.The other local shops we recall are Thorntons greengrocers, Beets greengrocers (corner of Alexandra & Anns Road) Woolhouses newsagents on Anns Road, Schofields barbers whose son went to school with us and many more! Spent many an hour walking up and down 49 steps, cross Plantation Road and up past the Shakespeare when "courting" as it was then and also many a cold snog in passages!
I DUFFEMS I lived just down from u at72 albert rd 1956/67 went 2 carfield school then 2 newfield when carfield snr shut down. my family lived there for a few yearslonger when my family moved. i rember franks worns jims corner shop i have a piece asking 4 info on people i used to go to school with if u have any info please let me know.
