Does anyone remember this mini documentry series that was on TV? I can't remember the channel it was on or the exact year but it was all about the Manor around the time when the houses were been demolished. It featured people robbing slates, copper etc from empty houses before they were demolished. Featured a guy called Troggy who carted a wheel barrow everywhere with him for miles and miles.

Yep, EVERYONE knows Troggy. He doesn't use his wheelbarrow any more and appears to have slightly tidied up his act since, I think, it was when his mum died. The only advertising the Manor gets is bad stuff. No good.

:loopy: ..Who could forget Troggy!!!!! pleasant chap,actually quite well spoken,his mothers death actually hit him hard and almost had a mental break-down.
The manor gets some rough press which is unjustified,these days its no worse an area than any other.
Even Dore and Totley/Fulwood/Hathersage complain about about yobs in the area,but the Manor does'nt have to put up with so called uni - students running riot.

When did Troggy's mum die she used to live near me ?

Troggy actually won quite a bit of money on the pools a few years ago but still carried on collecting stuff in his barrow!

It was on ITV, around 1986.

I remember as they were gradually demolishing the Manor,my parents lived on Fitzhubert road and across from them lived my old school mate Billy Gates.He was in the shower one night and couldn't understand why he wasn't getting any wetter!As he turned round and wiped the suds from his eyes,he spotted the shower head and copper pipe slowly disappearing through the bathroom wall to the outside.Someone was nicking his shower while he was still in it!

I remember the programme well. Me and some mates managed to get on it by shouting our names at the top of our voices whist they were filming inside some old houses on Motehall Road.

It was filmed by Yorkshire tv around '85 and shown about a year later. I knew a lot of the people who were used in the filming. It was an absolute sham, i think the whole thing was more or less staged. The people in it were portrayed as the tv people thought they should be. ( Troggy perhaps being an exception ) Many of the people featured actually lived on the Manor Park which at the time was quite a nice area.

You're not wrong, we've got some right little barstewards out in the valley, but there's no reason it should be any different to anywhere else really, the valley's not as posh as the house prices would suggest. We have the same social problems as anywhere else.

See Troggy every time i come back home for a visit, he's usually in THE BALL on Mansfield Road,
I remember when we moved off the manor in 1987 Troggy was waiting for us to move so he could get in for the copper, my mother went barmy at him as he ran his barrow into her fridge freezer as he came into house while we were still trying to move out.

Hi, I'm currently working with Troggy on a new film we're making. I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the 'On the Manor' film made in the mid 80's. It would be brilliant to hear from someone who has it.
Everything crossed!

i did have a copy its years since ive looked at it not sure where it is ill have a scout round tomorow cus am off to bed now but if i find it ill give you a shout xx

nice one thanks!!!

we lived on the old fitzhubert road moved off it when i was 2. some of you might have known my dad he's a machanic 'clive'? anyways he got some wood off troggy to build a fence to keep me in the garden. i was 14 months old learning to walk and what should happen, but i fell on a piece of wood with old rusty 6inch nails sticking out, 1 went straight into my head. i dont remember it but herd loads about it, and it sounds like it was very traumatic at the time :s. would love to see the film on the manor!

Hi, no I didn't manage to get a copy. If you have any luck, could you please let me know.
Many thanks
