:help: Hi there.I am trying to collect any information/stories and memories that the people of Sheffield have of my Grandfather Joseph (Potty) Lockwood Edwards.He had a stall in the old Rag n tag market selling pots etc.Hopefully there will be enough for a book of sorts.I have many photos and believe that they would be of interest as a lot of people seem to have fond memories of him.

please feel free to put some on this thread.
thanks

Hi there
I'm an Edwards related to the potty clan and am trying to write a book about their stories. My Dad last pitched pots in the market in the 1960s with his brother Bill. I'm Mick Edwards' daughter. Who are you? Are you related to the Bennett or Edwards side?

I'd be interested in seeing your photos.
Regards
Michele

There are two threads on this on the Forum already.......There is a thread "Rag & Tag Market" and another " News of Potty Edwards Market salesmen" Maybe more??.

Thanks I'll look at that.

Hi I knew your Uncle Joe, Aunty Betty, David and Lance. David was best man at our wedding. My mother in law and Betty were good friends for many years from when Jo and family lived in Birkendale View. I have some personal photos of Joe (beside his roller - on his horse etc). and quite a few of Betty If you want a very old photo of the old warehouse at the bottom of Wood Street go to Picture Sheffield. put in P and scroll down for public houses go to page 125 image U03483 apparently it was an old pub before Edwards had it as a Warehouse
