Bingo.

It was Annette Dyson.

Going to the pub now , see you later

Bloor St sounds so familiar and
I remember Gladys, the scent of her lingering forever in my nose.
My relatives called Hendrick lived around Bloor St the front entrance was on one street and the back way in was on another.

hazel

I have just mentioned Gladys to my wife, and the first thing she said was, ''God how she used to smell''.

My mum and dad Jack Loy and Ivy Loy lived at 111 Daniel Hill St. and used to go in the Blake pub When Ted Wainright was the landlord.
I also remember your mum the dinner lady and i can remember Gladys (what a nose)

my dad tom remembers jack he used to be a drinks waiter in the blake.bloody good one too! and your house was just behind the old police box

We lived at number three, at the top of Bloor St., right across from the Blake. The house used to be the home of the Walkley Liberal Club, before being turned into two separate residences. Don't suppose anyone has pictures.

My mum used to live on Bloor st, her maiden name was Sandra Wordsworth, anybody remember her?

Since this thread started it seems that some thing from my Bloor st days keeps cropping up in my life.
Last night I went for a drink and someone mentioned that they had worked in a certain pub many years before. I told them that I had been in that pub many years ago with some old neighbours of mine, and he knew them. A family called Sue and Steve Kerr and their son Johnathon who lived in Bloor st, the same time as us.

Also today we have had a phone call out of the blue from someone else who used to live on Bloor st, a member of the Marper family.

Very strange.

Wasn't Gladys's surname 'Wommersly'?

just to expand the discussion i used to be a paper boy for dennis and maureen on burgoyne rd bellopow them was tews veg shop sandersons chippie (the best in sheffield) and coggles seeet shop which was partly demolished by a lorry and they threw loads of sweets to the crowd of kids watching.dennis and maureen had a daughter who had an accident at the bottom of bloor street ,i think she thankfully recovered ,i metv dennis some years later at a motorway services on the way to london and we both recognised each other straight away.amazing i do so hope he and his wife and daughter are all ok

I also delivered newspapers for Dennis and Maureen at the post office. Your discussions have brought back some good memories. After Dennis and Maureen retired, the newsagency business moved across the road to the bottom of Whitehouse Road where I continued to deliver papers from for a short while. I lived on Daniel Hill Street opposite the school and my grandmother (who died when I was very young) lived further up Daniel Hill Street a few doors up from the Blake.
I can remember being there when Dennis's daughter had the accident and recall seeing the ambulancemen attending to her.
Do you remeber the hardware shop below the chippie. It had a wonderful smell - a combination of carbolic soap and dustiness. I also had a small part-time job in the bakers (can't remeber the name) cleaning the back window every fortnight for a sixpence and a bag of buns.

I can also vaguely remember a row of shops opposite the post office which were all linked and probably owned by the same people. One of them sold rocks and polished stones and minerals. Even today I always wonder why such a strange shop was located there.

i was born on bloor st in 1951, lived at no 56 . my granddad lived at 49 harworth st i think. my name is steve darwent my brother is pete . mom and dad are vera and george darwent . my granddad was jim wragg. sandersons chippie was great (bag of scraps)mmmm. went to burgoyne rd school and opperthorpe

hello steve ,sorry dont rember you but it sure is a small world my bro adrian lives in newq

well made a right horlicks of that.what i meant to say was my bro adrian lives in newquay,he goes drinking in the con club,pop in and have a pint/chat.What year did you move to newquay? i lived there from 76-83 worked at the gull rock hotel,fistral bay hotel and the cornish chough pub amongst others.

hi moved here about year chough closed .started darts league about 18 years ago on monday night's . Played for tavern,godolphin,top of the town used to be sutherland, my step dad don hogg used to go in con club a lot . i knew john goddard . i lived in the same yard as old mrs lee . my parents would have been in thier twenties.56 was about half way up on the left. i remember the spice shop well , and the polio girl with braces on her legs. used to play on bomb sites at bottom of rd a lot ,always going to upperthorpe baths.

The little girl who had polio, was called Annette Haywood, she lived at 24 Bloor st. She married and lived at 83, Bloor st untill they pulled them down. She is doing very well and now has 6 grand children. I should know I married her.

hi dido . i think annette was a little older than me , so she probably wont remember me but i'm glad to hear she is well. Was 24 past the alley way that went down to the back gardens on that side of the rd . they were down on the cellar level with outside toilets. Any other names from the fifties .

The alleyway ran down the side of no36, which happened to be annettes sister, Brenda Marper, with dennis her husband, and her children, Denise, Andrew, and Genine, Brenda had another son later called Wayne.

Annettes adopted brother Ron Marshall also lived in Bloor st, he married Margeret, and had 3 sons, Neville, Carl, Russell

hi dido thanks i'll write all this down and go round my moms tomorrow . she moved down here too. it's strange to go back fifty years.

Hi Dido, we lived next door to neville and carl marshall at 42 bloor st my name is colin morton and sister linda and brothers allan and brian, how was your wife related to florrie Beatson my mother was also related to florrie my moms name was hilda morton nee Smith. she lived 42 all her life, we moved away in jan 1966. over the years we all moved back to Sheffield hope to hear from you. colin.,

Dear Harley5.

Florrie Beatson was my wifes Grandma. I have just spent an hour on the phone with Brenda Marper my wifes sister, trying to sort the relationships out, another name that came up was Dennis and Hilda Beatson they were also related

Hi dido, unfortunatly my mom passed so we cannot ask any questions, my older sister linda said she seens to think that hilda beatson was our moms cousan she said that hilders son dennis was a window cleaner on south road. did they live on fulton rd my dad lived with them before he got wed to my mom. can you ask your wife if she can remember us the Mortons at 42 as we can remember them.

Dear Harly,
We think they lived on Duncombe st. Dennis died quite a while ago, but Hilda only died last year. Annette phoned her sister Brenda Marper and they can remember your family very well. they are related to the Marshalls

i colin morton can remember you and your family can you remember me glenn johnson and my brother dave we lived above you at number 10 bloor st .the last house on the top

I lived at 31 Bloor St, up to around 1957, when my mum passed away and we moved to Boston Lincolnshire, then returned a few years later to live with my grandmother at number 61. I was great mates with David and Brian Mottram.
I can also remember Harry Clegg, I think his name was, who was a complete nutter, and always mimmicking a cat in pain.
The bakers name was Bilton, who are still trading I believe. The son was Philip.
I have often wondered why Bloor street was demolished and the other streets survived. Maybe the bombs made the houses unstable. Anyone know the answer to this

I think Bloor st was demolished so that the council could build the new estate there. I left Bloor st just before it was demolished. We lived 5 doors above where the bomb dropped and basicaly the house was structually sound.

At this moment, Brenda Marper, and the daughter of Genine Marper from Bloor st are visiting my wife.

i colin morton can remember you and your family can you remember me glenn johnson and my brother dave we lived above you at number 10 bloor st .the last house on the top

I too wonder why Bloor Street was demolished, went to visit recently trying to stand on the spot where we lived, do you remember the Scott's Lolly Pop shop as it was known, Jack and Kitty ran it and their son was John? I live in Buckinghamshire now, left Sheffield in 1968

Hi Glen, yes I can remember you both the last I herd of dave is when he was playing football for liverpool united thats what I herd anyway.

Hello Harley, I too lived at 10, Bloor Street from 1946 to 1958

To ACJ,

Annette thinks it was Stockport.

she remembers a bloke called channel island jim.

Heh heh that was my grandad! (old post I know....)

To ACJ,

Annette thinks it was Stockport.

Could have been Stockport, hope all is well, speak soon.

I got it wrong, I think she meant Southport.

She has been showing me some old photos of you and her.

i lived at 31 bloor street during the sixties until the early 70,s
my family name is goodison does anyone remember us mick,steve,adrian.wendy or the marshalls albert fields glen johnson or the family at the bottom with the big archway entrance and a huge great dane named leo?

Hello Steven
I remember your family very well.
I use to come to your house actually,was a friend of your Wendys.
We was in same class at Burgoyne Rd School.
You was a mate of my Uncle (Raymond Kent) we lived on Elton St.
Your mum and dad know my parents.(Pat and Terry Unwin)
I think if I remember rightly your dad and mine,use to work together.
I remember you,your Adrian.Wendy and your mum and dad,but not Mick.
Barry your cousin,was in same class as me and your Wendy,also Penny Marsh.
Sadly my mum died in 2004,but dad still lives at Ecclesfield.
My mum and dad,my grandad and nan Ted and Winnie Kent all use to go in Blake.

Penny Marsh moved down to London but is now back in Sheffield living in Woodseats.

hi dido . i think annette was a little older than me , so she probably wont remember me but i'm glad to hear she is well. Was 24 past the alley way that went down to the back gardens on that side of the rd . they were down on the cellar level with outside toilets. Any other names from the fifties .

Did you know the Beal family and the Applebys?

I got it wrong, I think she meant Southport.

She has been showing me some old photos of you and her.

Yes it was Southport, are you still in Sheffield?

Yes, Annette would never move because of the family.

Yes, Annette would never move because of the family.


Very understandable, we moved from Sheffield in 1968, firstly to London and five years later to Buckinghamshire where we had our family, we have five grandchildren from three married daughters. Someone on the site mentioned the Beal's, there were two families of Beal's one of which I believe lived next door to Annette and another with four daughters Barbara, Christine, Kathleen and Pauline, does Annette remember them?

did susan gamble live on your street steve ..?

I lived at 10 Bloor Street from 1946 - 1957, I was a good friend of Susan Gamble, her Gran lived at Crookes in the same yard as my Aunt, do you remenber Pat Haythorne and her family, we went to Burgoyne Road School as did many people in Bloor Street.

i lived on bloor st when i got married in 1965 prior to that i lived on daniel hill st across from ridges the paper shop we had a communal back yard

Do you remember the Scott's Lolly Pop Shop opposite Ridges? I lived at 10 Bloor Street until 1957.

We lived at number 3, a large stone faced building at the top of Bloor St. opposite the Blake Pub. Originally the house was home to the Walkley Liberal Club and was split into two residences in the 1930's. Durning the war, our mum worked at Whitehouses beer off at the top of Blake St.

During the war there was a static water reservoir, built at the bottom of the street on a site where a number of houses had been bombed. I remember Tysons, a tobacconists, a chip shop run by the Glossop family, these were at the top end of Daniel Hill St., and the Priors, my aunt and uncle, who ran a wallpaper shop at number 2 Walkley St. My brother, sister and I went to Upperthorpe school. We left the area in 1948.

Don't suppose anyone has photo's of this area, I've seen the one on Picture Sheffield, but that seems about it.

I believe Pat Haythorne moved to Wales.

We still get a card at Christmas from Edna Beal.

Hi Dennis, I lived at 10, Bloor Street and remember all the names you mention. Went to Burgoyne Road School, Eric Goodison, Philip Bilton and Brian Mottram were in my class.
I too wonder why Bloor Street was demolished, went to visit recently trying to stand on the spot where we lived, do you remember the Scott's Lolly Pop shop as it was known, Jack and Kitty ran it and their son was John? I live in Buckinghamshire now, left Sheffield in 1968

Hi

If you were in the same class as Brian, then we will know each other. I sat next to him for a long time, tormenting 'Pop' Morris. Same goes for Mr Simmons, I often recieved his speciality of swinging the blackboard onto my head when standing behind it for some transgression. Othe names I remember were Dennis Beatson and Graham Spurr

Hi Dennis, Yes Dennis Beatson and Graham Spurr were in our class, did you know that Dennis died just over a year ago? Very sad. Are you Brian Mottram's brother? Are you still in Sheffield?
