been trying to find some really old photos esp the attercliffe area but not having much luck. found the photos of sheffield site but it only shows the attercliff rd area , any other sites .

there seem to be more photos of attercliffe than anyother area of sheffield, the sheffield shop has lots of books of Attercliffe & i'm sure you can order coppies as my dad found an old picture of the house i grew up in & he orderd it.

HI,

Right just incase you don't know the sheffield picture library is now backup and running at http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk/database_search.php looks like they have lost the .com and used .co.uk instead.:thumbsup:

Hi there

Flippin eck...I just looked at the photo of Norman Street going towards Maltby St school. I lived on Newhall Road and walked down there to school every day......where's the houses where's the coal yard and where's the Methodist Church.....:suspect: oh dear ,is it THAT long ago......

Hi there
Does any one out there know of a street called Thurley street of terry street

There's a Thurley Place on the 1905 OS map. It was a short cul-de-sac off Belmoor Road (off Attercliffe Common) with its closed end against the boundary of Carbrook Park. It will have been where Don Valley Bowl is now

Terry Street was very close, also a cul-de-sac ending at the park boundary, but this time directly from Attercliffe Common.

Actually Terry Street is still there, no longer a cul-de-sac, extended as an access road that passes Ice Sheffield to reach the Arena.
