Could anyone please tell me where I could purchase a book called(More Images of Sheffield) I am reading a paper called Sheffield (The Old Days) Very interesting too, and it talks of the mentioned book. I have checked the sites trying to find an email addy for The Star but have not been very successful as yet.
I left the UK in 1963 to live here in Australia but like to keep up with the history of Sheffield. I have a great book sent to me on Attercliffe that is good too. Any help would be appreciated many thanks. Vera.

The Star's website is www.sheffieldtoday.net and their email address is starnews@sheffieldnewspapers.co.uk

If you have trouble getting the book that you're after, give me a shout as I'm just down the road from the Star shop and I'll post it on for you.

Hi Kirky, Just got your message, have not got the hang of where to find my replies yet. Well the name is on the wall which used to be the seniors toilets. so it will be in that little car park which is there now. that used to be our garden wall. not inside the school yard of course.

Hope you find it just as a point of interest. hope your boy likes this school. I used to be in the line to go to Woodthorpe baths for a swim. never got there was always sent back for talking. lol
Best wishes vera.
