Any one know Thurley Place attercliffe

Thurley place was off Bellmoor road............terry street ran the side of Carbrook school with the entrance to Carbrook rec: at the top. Thurley place was a dead end......and Carbrook rec: was the 'dead end'

carbrook rec dead end.....NEVER

My favorite place when i was a child Carbrook rec

Does anyone know what happened to Belle View House that stood on the Carbrook Rec ground before the rec was created?

It was the home of the Terry family who owned the land.

Help appreciated. PopT

carbrook rec dead end.....NEVER

Terry Street was a dead end...only access to the rec. Thurley place was a dead end.

If you want to get better acquainted with Thurley Place, Terry Street and the Rec I suggest you read 'Once Round the Lump' by Ann Sapcote which is available at all Sheffield Libraries.

This will bring back many forgotten memories of the old Attercliffe Common and its characters.

My family mainly lived on Clifton Street, Surbiton Street and Butty's lump which was where my Grandfather was born in 1865.

There were two entrances to the rec, one on Terry Street and one on Blaco Road. Which ran from the top of Amberley Road and across the tops of Berkley Road and Belmore Road. Thurley Place was the first road on the right going down Belmore Road from Blaco Road to Attercliffe common

You had to be 12 or under to use the playground euipment at the Carbrook Rec. There was also a crown bowling green and tennis courts. You could hire bowls and racquets. Spent many happy hours there as a kid.

played in the rec or passed through it just about every day from 1964-1972.even went to the clinic before that. Happy Happy Days.

During the war there was a barrage balloon site in the rec

During the war there was a barrage balloon site in the rec

Hi Carbrook lad
Stan your brother rings a bell. Do you remember Hunts selling ice cream from their front door on the corner of Melville rd before they moved to Hiltop dairy. Brian Hunt would be about your brothers age. I also remember a Dennis Oxley who lived on the same side as you nearer to the chipy we both swam for Coleridge rd in the gala at Attercliffe baths

The old brain has dried up for now. regards RB

Was Mrs Bacon's shop the one on the corner of Carltonville and Ravensworth?

When I was a little girl,(I'd have been about 2) in the mid 1960s my mother was taking me to my grandpas on Carltonville Road, and we stopped off at that shop for some sweets for me.

I remember my mother playing a trick on me, (unbeknownst to me at the time) where she showed me that the shop was shut, (It was probably just before opening time) and she made me sing "Yellow Submarine" so the shop would open, and the lady inside could serve me with my sweets.

Looking back, with logic, the shop was probably just about to open. However for a while I really and truly thought that my singing brought about the shop opening up. lol

the recall of maltby st showers still gives me the shivers and the old bat with the big stick thanks for recalling great memerios of our long lost youth and friends we had will speak later kind regards allen

hi plane talker
mrs bacon shop was at the top of ravenswoth rd/carltonville rd you could get served any time front or rear door after hours including sundays a great little shop you could buy any thing

Hi Scrunit

Mr & Mrs Smith had 3 daughters Oldest was June, then Kathleen and Linda was the same age as me she will be 66 now.

I was bprn on Melville Road and well remember Hunt's ice cream in their front room.

I also remember John Plant, Derek Gaunt who lived on Campbell Road, the Hawsworth family. I remember going to Mrs Bacon's shop and buying a wip and top on the strap when I was about 10.

Hi plain talker yes Mrs Bacon's shop was where you stated but I am sure that by the 1960's Mrs Bacon had left and it was known as Iris's corner shop.

Hi plain talker yes Mrs Bacon's shop was where you stated but I am sure that by the 1960's Mrs Bacon had left and it was known as Iris's corner shop.

yes i think you are right..i can remember going in the shop.my mum used to have a book where you could buy anything and pay at the end of week,there was a man that worked in the shop also,he was always chewing gum..i think it could have been iris husband.iris was a well built middle aged lady with glasses and straight brownish coloured hair.

I was born on Melville Road in 1944 and I remember a Stan Story and I'm sure there were some relatives lived half way down Melville Road on the left hand side looking towards Carltonville Road. I seam to remember him wearing a miner's hat with a light attached.

Thank you for the information. I remember the door and windows of the shop were red-painted. I remember this was also not long after my sister was born, so I'd have been about 2½, 3 at the most. (Yellow Submarine was released in August 66, the same month my sister was born, which doubly-dates the memory)

My grandpa was in the next yard (or thereabouts) to the shop, on Carltonville Road. You entered his yard of four properties from the top of Melville Road. My great grandpa lived on Ravensworth Road, just round the corner.

I have very vivid memories of my grandpa's yard, the loo across the yard, and the bare patch of clay and soil in the top right hand corner of the yard, where the Air raid shelter had been, and I remember my grandpa's next door neighbours, the Malkins, whose house was the last in the yard. I can remember the pooh-brown paint on his door, peeling, to reveal the red paint underneath.

Hi Mazcris
June Smith would about my age. I lived in the same yard as the Hawksworths I new a family in the next yard called Becks and on the other side of Campbell Rd near to Broughton lane a family nixons. Do you remember the dairy horses coming down Campbell road to the stables in the dairy on Broughton lane

scrunits I can remember the Hunt family making oatcakes and pikelets in a small outbuilding at the bottom of Amberley Street. I remember it well because my older brother who took objection to having to take me with him and his older mates once sent me into Hunts place to ask if they wanted anyone to punch holes in pikelets. They also made me call in to Mansells Funeral establishment opposite Carbrook Council School to see if they had any empty boxes.

Don't remember the horses Allen but yes I remember Gordon Gregory again nearer to my sister Enid's age but remember him playing marbles in the street.

Before I was born my grandad and grandma Barthorpe used to keep the Bird in Hand pub. Enid was born there. Though I didn't know your mum I'm sure I am remembering her coming down Melville Road in a pinafore on the other side from Mrs Bernard. Did Stan used to live somewhere here with his family. Do you remember George and Malcolm Peacock. Yes Lewis Gelsthorpe does live in Canada I met up with him about 4 years ago regards Marie

Grandpa passed away in 1971, aged 71, I was seven, and my sister was just about to turn five.

Yes he was slender and (obviously to a child) he seemed tall. I remember his house well, down to the brown pot sink in the kitchen, and the smell of tea.

I don't really remember the people from the other houses in his yard, except the Malkins next door. From what I remember of what my mum told me, when my grandpa fell and broke his hip, it was the Malkins and the milkman who came to his help. Sadly, after a stay in hospital having his hip pinned and plated, he got pneumonia as a result of being immobilised, and he passed away.

My mum used to work in the bird in hand for my grandparents and new all your family much better than I did. We lost my lovely big sister Enid in 1988 she was 48. I remember her mentioning your name and of course she would have been able to give me lots to talk to you about. Allen I'm sure Peter Ross died some years ago. Do you remember Mrs Hodgson, Aunty May, she lived in the corner house next door to David Barker. Again I was much younger, but I do remember Doug Nadin was he olive skinned. I've just placed the name Bennett I think they lived in the corner house in the yard opposite ours and I think Mrs Bennet was Ken Gunthorpe's aunt. Lewis Gelsthorpe came over to see his family and I met him in a pub in Todwick. He has no hair, but I recognised him. Rita & Glenys Chapel lived in the big yard at the end of Carltonville Road. Good Luck with selling your cottage, regards Marie

My name as a girl was and in memory of your dear mum I wanted to send you my warmest wishes.

My mother left three girls (I'm the eldest) I was eighteen, and my sisters were 15 and four, when she had the Brain Haemorrhage.

My mother never really got to grips with the death of Frank. She always said that she expected him, at any minute, to poke his head round the door, and say "Fooled Ya! here I am!"

I remember the endless traipsing about, after he was killed, from the coroners to the solicitors and back. It was the summer holidays, so we three older kids ( cousins) were off school. the (then) two youngest were just babes-in-arms.

I remember the Star publishing Frank's address, and us arriving at the house to find the place had been ransacked.

Hello Alan

Yes Allan i was so lucky to have her I treasure her memory. Thats why I remembered Doug Nadin, even though we were girls my mum used to take us to Bob Hewits for what she called a semi shingle and a spray with whatever it was, OMG. I once had to wear a pixie bonnet for a week after it was so short. Yes the Stuarts coal merchants. I was honestly thinking it was Joyce I remember her as a small slightly built lady. Yes it was near the 5 arches pub, I now live at Waterthorpe at Crystal Peaks its right next to Eckington on the edge of Sheffield. I am retiring on the 27th of this month and one of the things I am going to do is try and meet up with old school friends and go to the reunions. Did you have a pair of stilts from the woodyard Allen and a wip and top from Iris's corner shop, I went and bought a wip and top on what was called the strap, do you remember. Iris had to tell my mum and luckily she just laughed. My mum was a pianist and used to accompany artists on the sheffield clubs, she was called Hilda Burke. regards Marie

Eighteen such tender ages for you and your sisters, your mum really would be so proud of you now. I understand her feelings when she lost her brother Frank, he was so young. I can't imagine you arriving at his home to be faced with that, shameful.

I have 2 daughters the oldest is just 43 and my youngest is 40. I imagine you may be approaching 45. At 66 I work as a legal typist for a solicitors. I am retiring at the end of this month and hoping to attend some reunions and meet up with old school friends.

You memtioned in a earlier post about the corner shop and the book where you could pay at the end of the week. This was called buying on the strap. When I was about 10 I went to the shop and bought a wip and top on the strap, of course Iris had to tell my mum but luckily she just laughed. I'm sure your mum would have had one and probably some stilts from the woodyard

Yes Frank was just 31 when he was killed in the bike crash. He'd not been back in Sheffield very long (He came back from Birmingham to live, after my grandpa died in 1971)

My Mum and dad, my sister and I were away on holiday at the time of the accident. We packed up and came home that afternoon.

My dad and uncle Roy had to drive all the way up to Whitley Bay (IIRC) to fetch Janet and her husband (and the kids) back from their holiday, with the dreadful news. It was like living through a nightmare, and must have been so much worse for his sisters.

Re:- the shop on the corner.
As I was a small child, I didn't know about getting "stuff on the strap". I do remember getting my favourite Sherbet Fountains with the liquorice stick to dip in the powder.

Ps, I'm actually just turned 47 (!) :wow: lol and my sister down from me is 45.

Hello Alan

Yes Allan i was so lucky to have her I treasure her memory. Thats why I remembered Doug Nadin, even though we were girls my mum used to take us to Bob Hewits for what she called a semi shingle and a spray with whatever it was, OMG. I once had to wear a pixie bonnet for a week after it was so short. Yes the Stuarts coal merchants. I was honestly thinking it was Joyce I remember her as a small slightly built lady. Yes it was near the 5 arches pub, I now live at Waterthorpe at Crystal Peaks its right next to Eckington on the edge of Sheffield. I am retiring on the 27th of this month and one of the things I am going to do is try and meet up with old school friends and go to the reunions. Did you have a pair of stilts from the woodyard Allen and a wip and top from Iris's corner shop, I went and bought a wip and top on what was called the strap, do you remember. Iris had to tell my mum and luckily she just laughed. My mum was a pianist and used to accompany artists on the sheffield clubs, she was called Hilda Burke. regards Marie

Hi Allen

Talking of Bob Hewit is bringing to mind the toy shop Stoppards on the same block at the top of Clifton Street and on the opposite corner was it Fentons Beer Off shop. I got married at Surbiton Street Chapel down by the Enfield pub. I used to attend Sunday school there my growing up years and be on the pantomimes. I can remember Mr Neil at Carbrook County, also Miss Renshaw affectionately known as Sabrina in my day. Miss Deakin, Miss Featherstone, Miss Dungworth. Mr Naylor used to play the piano at play centre after school. In the junior school I can remember playing marbles in the middle grate, I used to buy sell them 4 for 1 penny. This area is a good place to live Allen but wherever you choose make sure its on the supertram route, it's like having door to door transport all free. Glad to hear you are keeping well. regards Marie

Oh Sherbert Fountains, as old as I am I would still kill for a 20p mix up. I have remembered the ladies full name in the corner shop was Iris Flowers. If you see your aunts Dot & Janet, please give them my best wishes.

Hi allen

I'd forgotten about the 2p for the pop bottles, being asked if we had bought them from there and lying. Do you remember the tuck shop how at Christmas time they used to dress up the window with little Christmas scenes, I used to love that, but the man who owned it had a big mustache and I'm sure he hated kids. At one time I found a way of getting more than 1 bubbly out of the machine he used to have outside until he caught me. Yes the enfield did have yellow tiles and on the other corner was the Railway pub. I have a vague memory of Dennis Oxley did he live in the top yard on Cartonville the one before the chip shop. regards Marie

Hi Allen

Beauty has long gone I'm afraid do you remember sitting on the kerb edge with a stick poking the pitch between the cobbles. Mum had to use lard to remove it. I remember the clogs. Can you remember the clinic next to the Adelphi where everyone came out with some purple stuff on them. As you say Miss Schultz's hair was gray tied back in a bun that used to sit at the back of her head, I can see her now slicing the meet on the machine. Dixon School of Motoring was on one side of Diana's sweet shop and the baby linen shop was on the otherside. The first tram stop at owlthorpe is Birley Moor Road. Depends where abouts on Owlthorpe your sister in law lives. Waterthorpe where I live is about 6 stops further on. We live in a bungalow and it's a nice place to live. I would love to go back where we were kids for a day just to be remembered, but I'm glad we have progressed. regards Marie

Hi Allen

I retire from work on Friday. You made me smile, but there isn't any pitch or grates where I live Allen nor will I be skating round the mugs alley, no one to play kick can or delivo with, but at lease I can still buy a 20p mix up, fruit salads and black jacks and some lingo fiz, where did that come from LINGO FIZ! You could get in the back door at Woolworths from Zion Lane. Can you remember the sand reck at woodburn Road? The great Whitsuntide parades behind the big banners in your new clothes and all the Sunday schools joinging together in the reck to sing hymns, we used to have a party afterwards at Surbiton Street. You realise when you are older how great It was being a kid then.

Hi Allen

Do you remember the railway cottages down by the railway line. Arthur Danks used to live on Melville Road opposite side to Edna his family lived on the right side of the entry and on the other was a couple of oldish ladies who went to Clifton Street chapel, used to refer to children as varmints, their name was Walker. Which chapel did you go to? Does the name Allen Hodgson sound familiar to you. I didn't realise how many lovely memories I had of my childhood, parents, relatives and friends until I began talking to you, we didn't know each other but have been able to bring back so many lovely memories for each other and for me it's been really special. I know you won't go near the grates because of the fever, but don't sit on the cold step or you'll get piles. regards Marie

Hi Allen

Well it's official I have retired today and I am being taken out tomorrow night for a meal to celebrate. Did you ever climb the slack hills Allen over the locks. Can you remember Balfours factory over the bridge on the corner of Greenland Road and the road leading down to the locks, was this road Tinsley Park Road? I can remember the shop on the corner of March Street just before Coleridge Road School. I also remember the Easter Parade in High Hazels Park, the big yard on Broughton Lane opposite the bottom of Melville Road there was a small shop and the lady who owned it was called Mrs Moffatt. The Keen family lived in that big house next to the Bird in Hand.

Hi allen had a super meal last night went to Browns next to the town hall in Sheffield. Remember pearing in the rolling mill and seeing the men working the furnace and the red hot bars of steel. Had a few classmates at Coleridge Road who lived on Ranskill Road so went there quite often. Lennie Badger who played for the Blades lived over the locks on Ranskill Road, he was in my year. Don't remember the red slag heap that was always smoking, just as well as I got into enough trouble on the ones that didn't smoke. remembering the Darnall medical parade brings the Duke of Darnall to mind. regards Marie

Plain Talker

Tried to answer your message but keeps telling me I am using too many characters. I'm afraid I don't know what I am doing. I have worked with Microsoft Word for years and know it inside out, but nothing about the web.

I remember your grandma as a small lady and Janet being the most like her in build. I once went an errand for her to the corner shop. Your grandpa I remember as wearing a scarf and either a dark blue suit or a black one. Was Dot the most like him in looks? . Thank you for your reply, I think you have a lovely name. Marie xx

Was the Burns Hotel on the corner of Lockhouse Lane opposite Weedon Street. I'm sure that just before Weedon Street on the same side there was a drinks shop and a chippy. Just passed there was a pub on the corner some houses and then the tram sheds. Roy Liversidge lived on Carltonville Road in the next yard to the Smiths towards your end. Did you ever hear about a lad who used to throw his voice by callling the name Aaaeron, he had people scared for about 3 weeks until they found him. This was in the Weedon Street area. My dad told us about him when we were kids. regards Marie

(snippage for brevity) just for information,
Browns is on the corner of St Paul's parade at the side of the Peace Gardens. It was the "Haha Bar", until recently, but before that it was the Army and Navy store on the corner.

Hope the meal was fab, BTW, Marie :)

Thankyou love

The reason we went to Browns was because we had been to one in Bristol and it was fabulous. I had the same meal on Saturday and again it was great. I've heard of the "Haha Bar", you put me to shame I am born and bread in Sheffield and didn't even notice that was St Paul's Parade. Then again when I was at school I only got 5/100 for geography. When I took my 11 plus I was the first to finish and in the reck on the roundabout, that says it all doesn't it, but I do do a lovely Yorkshire Pudding.

hi marie
the burns hotel was at the bottom lockhouse lane the commercial was next to tram sheds drink shop was kept by mrs salt also remember chippie do you recall large shop that used to sell all ex wd stuff recall roy liversidge but dont recall boy throwing his voice on weedon st thanks to plain talker have found out were browns are must be next to the model shop that was on st pauls parade regards allen

Hi Allen

Of course the Commercial I couldn't remember its name. Don't remember the ex wd shop. When I used to go to the skates there was always a brother and sister who used to dance on them they were called June and Roy Darwin. On Sundays my dad used to take us to the Attercliffe Libs and at one o'clock we caught the tram home so he could go in the Greyhound. then at 2pm we used to meet him off the tram and go in to Dianas sweet shop for a bottle of Tizer/Jusoda and some sweets. Was your chapel known as the Bethal? I think my dad's cousins used to go there Sheila & Edna Burke, Sheila worked at the post office.

Hi Allen

Sounds like you and Stan were quite something on your roller skates playing hockey not to mention you dancing on them. I remember the cycle shop opposite the chapel on the corner of Golder place and I new that chapel as the Bethol there was a yard with some terraced houses, my grandma and grandad Burke used to live in one. The house windows in the yard had shutters on them. I'm sure there was a shop called Pritchards that used to sell socks and ribbons and things and a post office all on the same block as the chapel Did it have a long step up to the door a wide fronted entrance. I didn't know how many pubs I never took to beers etc the only time I went in pubs was to play darts for the Carbrook Hall and used to drink cokes. My haunt was the pictures. When I was first married I lived on Clarefield Road the first road off Carltonville Road which was a dead end and looked over Golder Place, There was a jennel at the bottom which lead onto the common opposite the chapel. Whymans Food Stores was next to the bottom of the jennel and Syd Smiths cycle shop. I do go on don't I? regards Marie

Hi Allen I used to go to all the pictures mainly the Pav I remember at the back of the Pav there was archways. I can only remember going to the Palace once, but i was told about the dancing girls with fans. Yes Brian Bamford they used to have a Corgi dog. The big alsation from Diana's sweet shop got out of the back gate and attacked it once. When I got married I lived on Clarefield Road for a few years at the bottom near the Golder Place end. It was just over the wall from the yard I was born in on Melville Road. I used to jump the wall to my mums up to being 30 still getting told off by Mrs fisher Beryl's mum, can't remember the name of the shop before Syd Smiths. Is your wife from our area. There are some very nice bungalows where I live a 2 bedroom can go for anything from £140,000 to about £160,000. What about the bowling green in the reck, tennis courts and the shed at the top. regards Marie

Hi Allen

There are lots of bungalows in Owlthorpe, Waterthorpe. Beighton, Sothall, Crystal Peaks and Halfway and I'm sure are all Sheffield 20 and are all on the Supertram route. When you do a property search if you type S20 in I'm sure you'll find them. My youngest daughter started the nursery the day before she was 3 and the lady in charge the was called Mrs Smith and understood her to have been there 30 years. In celebration of my retirement we are going on a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords in July so am looking forward to that. regards Marie

Cheers Allen, Do you remember the Gurnell family ginger haired they were a large family lived in the big yard on the common just past Clifton Street near Carbrook Church. I remember 2 of their names, Georgie and Freddy. The family that lived in the first house of your Grandad Storer's yard were called Dilks. In the yard opposite your grandad at the bottom of the other side of Melville Road was an old couple he was called Joe Emberton. regards Marie

Hi hope you don't mind me butting in.;)
Memories eh..............
there was also Pat gurnall and Les he had (bleached blonde hair)
and Billy I think Billy was the youngest, A big family...........
I lived at the back of the Gurnalls down the gennel at the side of the little garage, (ferns)
there was 5 houses in a yard behind the Gurnalls
it was called Newton terrace I lived at no 1 over the wall from the church
I used to jump over the church wall to go to lants chip shop,
my mum used to see across into lants see when I was getting served
and put the kettle on.lol
I lived there 15yrs with my mum dad and younger sister (Gail now 50)
yes we had a tin bath,mum in first,dad,me,sister,then the dog.:o
then empty it down the grate outside,and hang it on a hook to dry.
my grandad was caretaker of st barts in the early 60s
and our back yard overlooked the little chapel on Clifton street.
loved it there, all the shops You never had to go into town shopping
and no big supermarkets then,unless you counted wymans,
we bought everything from different shops.
the red phone box between the church and the phesant pub
only one for what seemed miles.
I went to Carbrook school infants and junior,
then Hatfield house lane,
that was a shock to the system having to get a bus to school
at 8am,and a half a hour journey every morning.
loved it living there.
proud to be dragged up down attercliffe/carbrook

Hi Cheryl you couldn't have had the surname Wing could you? thats the only Cheryl I remember and I'm sure she lived in that yard, though I thought she had gone to Coleridge Road. I think a friend of hers was Sadie Taylor. I was in the year below. She would be 66/67 now.

I used to work in the cafe opposite cosy furnishings when it was taken over after the sasparilla man left. mostly motorbikers and introduced chicken curry to them as well as usual chips and tea. ladding it up and down the cliffe big net underskirts and beehives.

Happy Birthday cheryl, didn't know about the yard amazing and as there is a 10 years between us we wouldn't have known each other. I played all around that area I'm sure there was a sweet shop somewhere opposite your yard called Pandora's Box. From the age of 12 to leaving school I was always down Dunlop Street, Carbrook Street, Short Street did you ever walk down the Weir Head by the river Don?

Beehives and net underskirts, ladding it up a down the cliffe what great memories you have made me smile. I remember one Whitsuntide having a dress for Whit Sunday and what they used to call a Duster coat and a dress for Whit Monday with a big net underskirt, I remember the cafe after the drink shop closed. Janet was in my year at school, I lived on Melville Road I am 66 and can't help feeling we must have known each other.

Thank you Maz another year older ;o(

yes if you stood outside lants chip shop looked across to the church
on your right there was a row of houses about 5.taking you up to clifton street.
on the end there was a large entry between the last house (diane hunstead lived there)
and ferns garage in between thats where the entry was
my dad used to drive our car down it (a prefect) and park round the back.
walk down the entry you had Gurnalls on your left
and the back yard and outside toilets of the houses on the front.
and behind them the 5 houses (where I lived) newton terrace.
our back yard backed on to the chapel on clifton street.
so we had the church at one side,and the chapel on the back,
and behind the church the pheasant waste land,with those derelic buildings
we used to hang about on there too. very eerie and scary when your young.

let me see what I can remember about the shops across from our entry !!!
so im stood at the end of our entry looking across
on my right starting on the end of carbrook st
excelcior pub, then gowers changed to>samik motors,
lants,shaws clothes shop,a lttle pastry/ pork shop,williams and saynes fancy goods etc,
yes Maz the sweet shop,wagstaffs newsagents,boldocks fishmongers,bookies,
another shop peacocks,that sold everything foodwise
this was very dark and dismal,lauras pea and pie,thompsons veg shop on the corner.
cross over wentworth street and the little cafe on the corner
what my friend janet hussain mum had.

we used to hang about the bottom of clifton st/surbiton st
there was a small bus depot there
do you remember that?
handy when it was cold we used to go and sit on the buses,
they was the open back ones,
can you all remember the little beer off shop down clifton street
it was on the left.in between terrace houses.

hi whissiewoo I remember taking the potatoe peelings down clifton st to keens
I used to get a balloon.lol

and I wonder if the cafe you are talking about was my friends mums
my friend was Janet Hussain now her mum was white but if I can remember
correct I think her dad was arab?
there was a pinball machine next to the door.

I also remember when I was about 12/14 knocking on peoples doors
and asking if I can take there babies in prams a walk
I used to take them to Terry st reck for a hour
I sometimes had 6 toddlers in tow.:o
Trouble was I think they was only about 3 swings for the tiny kids to sit in
with the wood fram work round.

just shows how times have changed!
can you imagine it now,knocking on someones door
saying can I take your baby for a walk.............
I'd get locked up.
I can remember taking a baby for a walk in a green pram
it was a posh pram back in them days late 60's
she lived on cartonville rd and was called Heather.
she would be about 44 now.

Weir Head me a few school friends walked that way to school once
when the bus never turned up due to snow,
it was a very long way from there to hatfield house lane.only did it the once, lol

I missed out on the sticky out skirts.Beehives, and big net underskirt ;o(
being only in my early teens.

saying can I take your baby for a walk.............
I'd get locked up.
I can remember taking a baby for a walk in a green pram
it was a posh pram back in them days late 60's
she lived on cartonville rd and was called Heather.
she would be about 44 now.

Weir Head me a few school friends walked that way to school once
when the bus never turned up due to snow,
it was a very long way from there to hatfield house lane.only did it the once, lol

I missed out on the sticky out skirts.Beehives, and big net underskirt ;o(
being only in my early teens.

the things you remember.!!!

Hi Cheryl its all coming back, if course I remember the houses now you could see them from the common and church yard. I remember the yard where the
Gurnalls lived but never went in. Shaws was a big shop and had a few windows to it. I can see the lady in Peacocks shop now, I think she had a son, it was a very dark shop. Had Laura's pie and peas a few times. Wagstaffs was once called Cheakles newsagents. Lants chips and cake were the best in the world never had any as good since. Mr Lant had big bushy eyebrows. Spent hours on the pheasant ground playing in the air raid shelters. Loved it when the big funfairs used to come. Thomsons veg shop wasn't that on the corner of Milford Street, was Wentworth street off Milford Street where the Wentworth pub was. I used to go to the beer off on Milford Street. I went to Surbiton Street Sunday School as a kid used to be on the pantomimes there, I got married there. Do you remember Doreen Stokes, Yvonne Bamforth both lived on Clifton Street. Whitehouses Chippie was further down from Lants past Carbrook Street.

Hi Maz/C.lad
Doreen Stokes, Yvonne Bamforth I think may have been older than me.
but Bamford rings a bell.!!

I remember Linda Keyworth I think I used to babysit for her
she lived a couple of doors up from the beer off down clifton street.

further down attercliffe common Jacksons chip shop (loved there fish)
the yard below my nan lived there (465). mrs Giles.
with my grandad (caretaker of st barts in the 60's)
other side of rhe entry lived the Scofields.(Mick I knew most)
my grandad used to always be in the Lampool pub.
and our Keith Downs.hes about 72 now.
he worked at the milk yard on broughton lane,
then crane driver at British steel.then Later he was a Taxi driver for Abby.
He used to knock about with the searsons,
one nick named >Shirty I believe.
and a Mick kerrigan.if memory serves me right.

I don't know if anyone remembers any of my aunts/uncles in they would be in there 70/80s now
Ernest Giles.
Alan he went to saudi arabia,still there.
Eric he went to bournmouth.
Renee married Ernest Squires,he too was a Taxi driver for Abby.
Bet she lived at Darnall (smith st) she was my mums mum.
Alf he played the accordian
Violet she married Derrick Burnham,lived on vulcan rd.
then Newton terrace,we had her house when they took over the Excelcior
I was only a baby then,but lived there 15yrs till they pulled them down.

The circus was just a little before my time
but my mum remembers going up my nans stairs to the top bedroom
and watching it through the window.

wasan't christmases down there great all the shops trimming up
and the atmosphere,

the gales that came in 67: I remember it blew some house roofs off in clifton street.

Ok who remembers David crockett on his horse
riding down attercliffe common.lol

sorry we are going off track a bit
it suppose to be a thread about:
Thurley Place off terry street Attercliffe
us oldies we do go on.
we have to write things down quick as we remember them ;o)

and I wonder if the cafe you are talking about was my friends mums
my friend was Janet Hussain now her mum was white but if I can remember
correct I think her dad was arab?
there was a pinball machine next to the door

her father I believe was from pakistan and yes her mum was white , mind plays tricks now but I think they came from hull - being muslim they used to have their "priest" come in and kill chickens, first time frightened the life out of me seeing them flapping in the sink where I used to make the big pots of tea and smell when they were being gutted. but she made a mean chicken curry. very nice people to work for. worked there to pay for my way in college and met my first husband there. Mate of Pop Hobson, who rode his bike often with a broken limb!!!

hi w.w
I have a old photo of janet her mum and me I think we might have been about 9/10 on the pic,
I also have one how she looks now.
Janet now lives in Norway
sadly her mum died a few years ago.

Hi Allan I wonder if your wife remembers the little cotton headsquares green and white/pink and white striped, or green and pink polkadots used to wear them on our heads over rollers, looked great with the shocking pink socks, or maybe they were just a carbrook thing. Walking up the Cliffe to Banners on Saturday afternoon what great fun we had. Sounds like you really do need some outside space for your dogs, Wish I had known you were in the area it would have been nice to say hello to you and your wife. regards Marie
