I remember kelvin flats being built, nevermind being demolished, and i and my family used too live on portland walk, first i lived at 124 near the old gatefield pub, and my sister lived at 41 near the halfpenny public house. if anyone lived on this landing around 1970-1973 please feel free to let me know....we later moved across the road to kelvin buildings above the old chinese takeaway as it was then. although i was born in sheffield, i now live in west sussex, but as you can guess i still follow sheffield thanks to the net. I still have family on the woodthorpe estate and was there 2 weeks ago visiting them and at the same time went to the sheffield arena which had a great show on that night, also we went upto woodhose village to a pub called the royal which is quite nice and comfy and it felt like i was at home again. However i wasnt, but i was raised at parson cross on southey hill, then moved upto the wybourn estate before moving onto infirmary road and the kelvin.
