I forget the name of the street...there was an old joiners workshop on the corner and it met Broughton Lane near the Bird in Hand. It may have begun with 'M' and ran opposite to Raven something street. The Twiggs lived in the same yard. Any help would be a help to but some names together, it holds good memories for me

Hello,

Just browsing through the topics. As far as I know, my mum is still in touch with Margret Baines. And if you know Pat Bray, I think she is regestered on 'Friends and Family.' My mum is called Violet Rawson, and was one of the Rayworth family ... the daughter of Violet Rayworth (Whyman) who lived on Warden Street. She is also the cousin of the Joyce and Tom Rick who lived on Bright Street.

Don't know if you already know, but there are get-togethers at the Carbrook Hall a couple of times a year for those that were born and/or lived in Carbrook.

Just an added bit, I also went to Carbrook C of E, but I was only born in 1966.

Is Carbrook Cof E school the same school as "Carbrook School" (Now the players cafe) that stands (stood) between Terry street (and Carbrook Rec) and Carltonville Road, on't 'cliffe?

if so, it was the school that my mother and her brother and sisters attended in the 40's and 50s. My mother's family lived on Carltonville Road, opposite the school. My grandpa's yard was accessed via Melville Rd.

My uncle was Frank Monks, (b April 1942, d July 1973)

My mother was Irene Monks, (b oct 1943, d sept 1984)

My aunts were Janet and Dorothy Monks, (as they are still living, I will be polite about their dates of birth! lol)

Frank went to Central Grammar (IIRC) and my mother and her sisters went to Coleridge Road secondary school when they were older.

I think they might be different schools, but I'll mention it to Mum tomorrow and see if she recognises the names. Carbrook C of E was on the very end of Bright Street... can't remember the name of the road it was actually on.

My Dad went to Coleridge Road though. Albert Rawson and they lived on Century Street.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi Plain Talker.

No, these are entirly different schools. carbrook C of E, the main gates was on Dunlop Street, Infants + Juniors was on Albert Street and the Services gates was on Carbrook Street.
the other school you mentioned is called CARBROOK BOARD SCHOOL was on Attercliffe common which run adjacent to Terry Street, and the back of Carbrook school faced Terry Street Park.
where there was a bowling green, tennis courts, a football pitch,and a nursery for pre school children. in latter life of the school, it was used as a youth club and a night school, after which it became derelict. the girls and infants was demolished to leave the boys school which became the players cafe. The part of the demolished school bacame a carpark for the sheffield arena as it now stands today.
my mother went there also and she says that she and others had to walk to maltby road school for cooking lessons as there was no facilities at carbrook board school . My husband, went to carbrook c of e and they used the board school as a youth club. on their home they would call at Toms drink shop.

Hi Dave did they call the Lockwoods John & Steven

Hiya juliediane,

Yep, you're right. And I've just been put right about the where-abouts of Carbrook C of E by my mother. But I only had little legs at the time, though... we moved when I was six, and Bright Street seemed a 'very' long road back then!

I only remember a few of the names, (mainly those that we kept in touch with when we moved) and bits and pieces of events and places... but Mum says she remembers a family called Skelton, but not the first names... sorry. The only Skelton I do know is Phil; the present Landlord of the Carbrook Hall.

Is it me being delusional, or was the infants classroom enourmous? I sure one of the teachers were called Mrs. Meeds.

Just an added, the Carbrook get-together next year is on the 1st Saturday of October at the Carbrook Hall. What about all going for a natter and try to catch-up on old neighbours?

Hi, Damkina, it is not i, who went to carbrook school but my husband, Keith Skelton.your info on the infants is right, there was 1 large classroom and my husband thinks 2 smaller classrooms, the infants backed on to carbrook street. if you went down carbrook street today you will still find part of the old school wall incorporated into whithams steelworks.

I could talk forever on carbrook.

Hi bigkev i seem to know and recognise everyone you mention my sister marg knew carol humphries very well i was born in 54 and we seem to have hung around with the same set of friends went to carbrook 59 to 65 marg started 55 left 61 would be good to hear from you

I use to spend sometime in there when I was a young un fell of my bike and put a nail straight threw my foot 6 inches long it was and very rusty.happy days down carbrook

hiya bigkev yes i hung about with a lot of the names you mention especially ian williams i used to play snooker in his dads pub and he was goalkeeper in the same football team as along with dave rodgers when we went to parkhouse school. cannot remember chickens but i made many a visit to firth vickers accident room one that springs to mind is when my sister poured bleach on my hands and told me to rub well to disinfect them!!!!!!! do you go to the reunions in october used to knock about with your cousin too steve holford yep happy memories

now then runner I havent been to be the reunions it is in the carbrook hall pub is it not I was in there july last year went to go and have a look at that photo on the wall where the scrap yard use to be, boy as it changed down there from when that was took. oh firth vickers accident room I was never out of the place I was always having accidents can you remember one of the security guards he lived on short street mr lout I think it was and if I also remember kay goodwins dad also was a guard there as well. something as just come to mind about john woodhead can you remember when we use to have the bonfire on the spare ground in front of the british oak pub, well john woodhead found this 5 gallon drum and decided to put is on the fire it went with one almighty bang and blew the pub windows in it turned out it was full of old petrol. we all jumped over alan pipers wall and into his yard before it went up. I keep seeing john woodhead in the market at sheffield he hasnt changed much there ray is dead and malcolm lives on parsons cross. tony lighthowler is still kicking about he goes in the virgin store on most days he lives at meadowhead now. I havent seen our steven for over 20 years now he lost his dad last year mind you he was 83 years old.

hi bigkev seeing as you about the same age as me did you go to parkhouse school after carbrook. I tell you something your memory better than mine. I remember loads of things but all different to your memories. The last trams running into terminus and putting coins on the line, monks yard - jumping over to play in the sand and stones, football on the rec at the side of carbrook hall pub. My sister in hospital at the moment and one of the ramsdens just been in to see her do you remember them. He organises or has something to do with the reunions.

hi runner know I didnt go to parkhouse I went to jordanthorpe as we moved up to lowedges waste of time because my parents had split up so I went back down carbrook for about 8 years lived with my grandma & grandad but I had to travel everyday back up to jordanthorpe school had to get up at 06:30am just to be in school for 08:30am. the ramsdens name rings a bell I have got one for you can you remember the old doss house just up from les fox's shop we use to bang on there door every saturday morning only one time there was 3 of them who chased down one of the roads, they didnt catch us as we all went down different entries I seem to remember that one of our mates threw a live rat into there passage way what he had caught over the locks, I have never seen the tramps run out so quick. where I use to live on short street we had a woman called vinegar liz as she stunk of vinegar she had to be took by the public health service every week to have a bath. do you know I can just see all the houses what use to be down there and the times what we had playing out on the streets and causing as much havoc as we could. can you remember barry gill who lived down carbrook he came of his bike and went straight under a lorry spent 3 days in the hospital. one of our past times was dropping bricks on the detonators we had found oh happy days.

runner can you remember the old park keeper on the rec he was a right miserable old b**tard, bill I think they called him he use to have a blazing fire in his stove even in summer. where did our happy days go I can remember the tram sheds as we use to always try and get round them on a sunday morning and sitting outside the tinsley hotel watching the men sort out there racing pigeons ready for the big race in france.my grandma & grandad use to work at firth derions and I always use to go and meet them on a friday lunch time straight through the small steel door on bright street and on to the shop floor use to come out with my pockets bulging with old pennies,sixpences and the odd half crown from the work people who worked with my grandma & grandad. can you remember the freemans and michael moss who lived down carbrook. what about shaws shop next door to the chippy and can you remember bruces shop just up from the butchers what was next door to garry carrs house.we sometimes went up to the weir head to catch the courting couples getting down to the nitty griity we use to scare them then leg it before they could catch us. I can remember the wraft we once made and sailed it over the weir oh lets turn the clock back and relive them happy days.

Hi big kev,
my husband remembers 3 doss houses, one was on the corner of weedon street, the other was PAUL BOREAINES, side of the union hotel, used to be pea and pie shop, the 3rd was on corner on mon street used to an old pub called the RED LION.
juliediane

hi big kev yep i remember les foxs shop used to buy a sixpenny lucky bag from there and yes I remember vinegar liz very well boy did she stink I used to call her names. If its steve and kevin freeman then they lived in the same yard as my family we used to call their mum auntie and vice versa. Do you remember the corner shop at warden street it was called earps we were always in there. What about the Earnshaws do you remember them. I do recall bill at the rec but I was always there playing football. They were good times and you only appreciate them now looking back. You realise how happy they were. If this is any help my dad was the local bookmaker! he did it from our house he used to have runners collecting bets. He was one of the first people to have a car in carbrook.

wow I need help on one of the pubs down carbrook so juliediane or runner can you tell me what they called the pub that use to be at the side of les fox's shop, this was a john smiths house somebody I know who use to live on mons street asked me today if I knew what they called it, any ideas going back to the freemans I think old mr freeman use to do racing pigeons over the cut and he also use to race greyhounds.to give you a better idea the freemans who I knew lived just up dunlop street it was the first entry on the right hand side going up to where our steven holford lived. I can remember the corner shop on short street come weedon street. the earnshaws there name rings a bell did they have 2 sons or was it 2 daughters. runner have you been back down carbrook and seen how much it as changed some of the road names are still there but thats about it. I can see wayne frith now going around with about 5 dogs in tow he always had dogs around him where ever he went. so will you remember larry frith he was a good bloke to know I can remember him stood outside the british oak pub his coat off and shirt off ready to have a scrap on the spare ground in front of the pub.

hi runner here big kev there was a pub just up from les foxs in between there and warden street called the royal i am pretty sure of that. Obviously not the same freemans, but my dad would have known him he raced greyhounds as well in fact he held the track record at darnall. Earnshaws had two sons it was them that I knew cannot remember the street that they lived on though, but as you talk to me and saw names etc you jog memories. What about steve martin, glyn and linda norman and yes I go down there quite regularly I go to Abbey National keep telling my kids about what I used to do and all i get is Yes dad youve told us a million times before. Makes a change to speak to someone who knows what I am talking about.

Hello all ex Carbrook folk. I've been reading this thread for a few weeks now. Time to join in. My family lived on Yarmouth Street. Jack Dodsley's corner shop was on the end of it and it was across from Carbrook School. My Nan Edna Williams was the landlady of The Commercial Hotel on the corner of Weedon Street. Ian Williams is my uncle and his Dad, Reg sadly died in 2004.
I remember quite a few of the names mentioned on here. Here's just a few of the names I remember from my time, Robert Allen, David Roebuck.Diane McKee,Diane Connors,Mick Moss,Barry Gill. The Goodrums. The Lockwoods. The Neil Family (Jeffrey was in my class) Phillip Carr,Gary Carr (he was in a band called The Green Carnation with our Ian) Mrs Searson. Tommy Bruce's greengrocers shop was across from us and he had a white alsation anybody remember that? Mansells sweet shop, Albert Bruces shop.The chip shops Woodbines,Phoenix's, Fields chippy which was across the road from the Commercial.The Zanelli family who lived on Weedon Street went to our school. Steve Willets and Steve Turner were good mates. Ian Kemp was the best mate of my brother. Miss Beal,Miss Springthorpe,Mr Evans,Mr Hughes were some of the teachers when I was there and Mr Cornthwaite was the headmaster. Some other names that have just sprung to mind. Martin Beard,Tommy and Michael Rick,Ian and Paul Golland, Tina Linacre, Dale Parkinson,Paul Wright,Michael Williams,Lance and Paul Woods. My word the list goes on. I used to love going in Les Fox's,no lighting whatsoever and piled to the rafters with workclothes and airfix kits! We all used to play on the rec and I remember Bill the rec keeper. Nice chap and always smelt of antiseptic.Didn't half hurt if you fell over on all those red chippings! Happy days.

Message for BigKev.
I used to know your cousin Steven Holford or 'Fuzzy' as our Ian used to call him. Your Aunty Val used to live next door to the Commercial and we used to knock about with her son Ian. Val used to go on holiday with my Nan.Its strange that when you go onto the Friends Reunited website, there is hardly anyone who has put their names down as attending Carbrook C of E School.

Hi yarmouth street well thats life it could be that they dont want people to know that was the school they use to go too. so you knew my aunty val and our steven I wonder if I know you maybe maybe not. I can remember your Ian having that train layout in the commercial as we use to go and see it and sometimes play with it. sorry to hear about reg passing away I use to think he was brilliant to talk too he knew some stuff did reg. I havent seen our steven for maybe 20 years or it could be longer and it as got to be a very long time since I have seen aunty val. our stevens dad died last year he was 83 years old I think our steven lives out at woodhouse just near the angel pub. me and tommy rick use to go in the industry pub just up carbrook street past rothwells newsagents did you know the marriots who lived down carbrook and the youngs there was tony young they lived on weedon street just below firth vickers main entrance. also did you know the hollands I think it was nevile he was deaf then there was the roach family they lived on weedon street and the smiths. I had some great times down carbrook I have just remembered another family joan hague she lived in the same yard as the woodheads she had a son cant think what they called him. if you knew ray woodhead well he died 2 years ago john woodhead told me last year in the castle market.

I have just thought of another lad I use to knock about with steven blades he had a sister called susan the last time I saw susan blades was she was working in the argos shop down the moor. howard allsop is now a long distance lorry driver I have seen him quite a few times in the truck stop cafe at hellaby I wonder if paul roach is still living at shiregreen or I wonder what happened to his sister susan. something as just sprung to mind and thats going into banks building yard and asking for some sawdust for the pet rat I use to have I could always get some from them. I found a book on street names the other day and lockhouse lane was in it thats what the they called it at the side of edgar allans rolling mills boy as that changed around there. I can remember watching the old sheffield trams being pushed into tommy wards scrap yard to be scrapped. this is the one time I wished I worked there I could have got some things off them before they was cut up. did they call the barbers on the main road across from the tinsley hotel, ronnies barbers I can remember having my first skinhead haircut in there had all my hair shaved off. I use to go in the tobacconist as well for my grandads pipe baccy and snuff what he always had I bought my first pipe from that shop and I have been on a pipe ever since thats got to be 35 years ago how time flies.

Susan Roach was in my class. I remember Ronnie's barbers vey well also the tobacconist. We used to pinch 'Dentyne' from Ivor Rothwells shop on the way to school...shocking behaviour! My great Aunt had a sweet shop just a few doors up near to Bessie Wade's sandwich shop,'tomato dips' on the way to school! Stephen Blades,I remember the name but nothing else. I remember watching the Tinsley Hotel being demolished from the 'club room' window at the Commercial.I have a video of Sheffield Trams. Its got a brilliant section of a tram driven from Sheffield centre down Attercliffe and into the tram sheds at Tinsley,taken from the inside. It's like travelling back in time,seeing all the shops and pubs that are no longer there.

My mum went to Carbrook but don't know the exact year, Jean Humphrey through and her sister Carol, they lived on Carbrook Street.

Hi Lolalola

My names walter Brownley, just enrolled, I remember your mum, give her my regards
Ask her if she knows where John Brown lives used to live with his Aunt Mary

i dont remember many people at all from that time,but d o you remember carol and erik kirton

Hi

I knew Erick and Carol, used to be a mate of Ericks before I left the area

my uncle was frank monks too .my mum shirley was married to ken morrell,i remember frank dying in a motorcycle accident.i went to carbrook school myself, small world.

goodness me staffie, it's like genes reunited on here!! lol

So, if I have this right, you are related to me, through my great granddad Morell, who was my late mum's mother's dad! I think that makes us cousins, something removed!

When you have posted an other couple of times I can contact you through PM and we can work out how we are connected.

I suspect you are related to me either through my aunty Ethel or aunty Ivy? (my grandma was Gladys)

(edit-I've just realised, ken was ethel's son!)
PT

plain talker,ken was my stepdad,so we are related by marriage.ethel was my grandma. she was a loveley woman very kind. she had a adopted daughter called jean also. frank used to come to our house just before he got killed,i went to his funeral, i was only about 14 at the time.looking at your photo you look a lot like frank. by the way im carole. frank was a very intelligent guy and i know he studied that hyroglyphics stuff,eygyption writings.i lived on carltonville road from 64 to 69.i think your family used to live opposite us in the yard accoss,we lived at no 19.

(risks the wrath of the mods by turning this into the Staffie and Shel show)

yes, Frank was exceptionally intelligent, he had three different degrees,a BSc (IIRC) and a doctorate in metallurgy, and another one, he did later,at night school, in English. I like to think i inherited his (And my mum's) brains.

I am fair in colouring, like Dot, (frank dot and my mother were peas in a pod of my grandpa, janet is more like my gran) I do look a bit like a plump version of my mother , facially.

please, Staffife, PM Me urgently I really want to speak with you and get some info.
thanks

PT

plain talker something wrong with my e mail cant send out but can recieve messages.the info you wanted . jean had a little boy in the 70s and had him adopted. they called him daniel. when ethel died jean came to the funeral with her husband ron eastwood and a new baby in her arms she had just had this baby was called cheryl. they lived in shiregreen on godric rd. her husband died in about 92. dont know any ben i know ethel had two sons ken my stepdad, and john he died some years ago.

bigkev

Haven't been able to get online much lately.

My Mum Violet Rayworth knows your aunty and uncle. She used to work at Metros with your aunty Doreen and says that she is still working in the mornings, and is George the same one that's Ilene Neils brother?

She also knows Steve 'Fuzzy', who she remembers as a lovely person... always smiling. And he used to mates with her cousin, Tommy Rick.

I'm hoping to get her to come and read these messages some day soon. But if not, I know she's hoping to see quit a crowd at the Carbrook Hall Reunion on the 1st Saturday in October.

Damkina

Hi damkina yes george is the brother of Ilene neils but my uncle george died last year just before september I think and steven fuzzy holford lost his dad in november who was my uncle jack. I havent seen either of them for a about 3years or it could be just a bit longer so you can imagine how upset I was when I found out that they both had died and I didnt get to talk to them one last time. I sent my aunty doreen a letter last year telling her that I had changed my name and that I have now got a 3 year old son, but I havent heard anything from her or even our kim thats doreen & georges daughter the oldest one they had also got leslie and claire but not heard from them for a long time. I am going to try and get down to the reunion in october but I shall be living in scotland then as I am hoping to move up there in august.

Hi bigkev,

That is such a shame. I know how you feel as I didn't get to speak to my Grandfather, which I will always regret.

My Mum said that she's kept thinking about going to see Doreen. When she does, I'll ask her to pass on your regards, find out if she got the letter and also find out if she's going to the Reunion too. I don't want to pry or stand on your toes, but how about going to see her?

Up to now, and unless the fates intervene, I'm still going to the Reunion.

Damkina

hi damkina I will send you a pm with my aunty doreens address on it if you have got it,as for going to see her it might be a shock to her system as I have changed a lot and in a big way at that I have now got long black hair which is right down my back the last time she saw me was when I had very very short hair and I was married then. she once told me not to get married to a older women but did I listen like hell I did oh how I wished I had listened to my aunty my ex wife did me out of £75.000 but thats another story. what I might have to do is send her a new photo of all my new family now so she can see who it was that wrote to her, as I used my new surname and not my old surname so she might have thought it was a crank letter. anyway I will pm you with the address

Hi bigkev,

I've posted back.

Through personal experience, one word of advice. when you go to see old relatives and their friends that you haven't seen for years, make sure that you take the family tree charts with you and copies of photos of you and your Mum, Dad and all the aunties, uncles and whoever else there is. :D It works wonders!

Then sit back and enjoy the stories about what you used to get up to:)

Damkina

Hi damkina if only I had got photos of all my aunties and uncles then it would be brilliant but as I am the last one on my dads side and my mums come to that as I havent seen my proper mum for 42 years she lefted me when I was 10 years old and I havent seen her since, it would be nice to see her after all this time but I dont think that is going to happen, as for the photos I have got one of my mum but it is that faded you can only just make her out. I havent got any photos of my dad only my grandma & grandad and my younger brother when he was just 8 years old he went with my sister to live with my mum so all in all I havent seen my mum or my brother or my sister for a very long time, and it upsets me knowing that I never saw my brother or sister grow up and how they have turned out and what they are doing now with there lifes. if I go and see my aunty doreen it could bring back some very bad times what I went through when my mum left me, my aunty doreen and uncle george was the only ones that would look after me until my grandma & grandad decided to look after me. so as I said photos would have been nice but not possible, my dads girlfriend was the last one to have any of them and I would think that she as burnt them so I cant have them. she was very spiteful with me and she hated me but if I could just meet her one day then she would see what a nice person I am or not to her because I would really have a go at her for what she as done to me. so there you have it

Hiya chuck,

I've been sat wondering what to say to you... whatever I say won't be the right thing. I can only send you my deepest sympathy and wish you the best for the future.

Due to family considerations, for the next couple of weeks, it won't be possible for my Mum to see your aunt, but I've given her the address you sent me and she said that she 'will' be getting in touch with her.

I didn't know at the time, but she went a while ago to where your aunt works to see her, but she had already left for home.

I know it's been a long time, but we will try.

Damkina

I can remember the wraft we once made and sailed it over the weir oh lets turn the clock back and relive them happy days.
The chippy you talk about was it called carconville fish shop on the corner of cartonville road next to the sweet shop, chemist and doctors.

Is Carbrook Cof E school the same school as "Carbrook School" (Now the players cafe) that stands (stood) between Terry street (and Carbrook Rec) and Carltonville Road, on't 'cliffe?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi Plain Talker.

No, these are entirly different schools. carbrook C of E, the main gates was on Dunlop Street, Infants + Juniors was on Albert Street and the Services gates was on Carbrook Street.
the other school you mentioned is called CARBROOK BOARD SCHOOL was on Attercliffe common which run adjacent to Terry Street, and the back of Carbrook school faced Terry Street Park.
where there was a bowling green, tennis courts, a football pitch,and a nursery for pre school children. in latter life of the school, it was used as a youth club and a night school, after which it became derelict. the girls and infants was demolished to leave the boys school which became the players cafe. The part of the demolished school bacame a carpark for the sheffield arena as it now stands today.
my mother went there also and she says that she and others had to walk to maltby road school for cooking lessons as there was no facilities at carbrook board school . My husband, went to carbrook c of e and they used the board school as a youth club. on their home they would call at Toms drink shop.

Remember me to John and Norman when you see them next. My husband Mel worked with John for years at Tinsley Wire Industries.

reading the post on here as made me realise I have very few memories of my early life in carbrook.My name was Lynn Rodgers I was born in august 1953 and firstly lived in Barking st, where I started at carbrook c of e school. We moved to 156 Weedon st but I can't remember when but before I move up to Parkhouse. I had two brothers John born in 1955 and Jimmy born in 1956.I can't remember peoples names except Joan swain who lived on weedon st, Marie Spooner who lived at the top of Weedon st next to commercial pub (her dad drove a coach I think), and Lynda Fox who I sat next to on my first day at school.I was very friendly with Bridget Frith who lived in the Tinsley Hotel. The name I have read on here that is vaguely familiar is Billy Otter and I think the name Pickersgill. These could have been linked to my brothers.I went to the Sat matinee at the Pavilion regularly, buying bruised apples on the way cheeper than spice.
was anyone else encouraged to go to the peasus theatre club on Saturday mornings by Mr Cornwaithe?

hello lyn i was born in 1950 so im a little older than you yes billy otter lived on weedon st his brother dennis is my age but i think billy was about two or three yrs younger i too went to parkhouse when our school closed but was only there for about 6 months before i left to start work at cooper and turners on vulcan rd i have a sister called lynda who is 58 yrs old so i think you may not know her as she is a little older than you too we left carbrook in 1966 and moved to birley

my name is fred green and im'e looking for any old mates hey up fred i think i remember you i think you used to let me help you with your paper round you were a couple of years older than me but you always treat me with kindness my name is glynn norman n i lived at the bottom house on luton streetit had two bloody great girders tied to the wall so all the houses couldnt fall down i hope you remember me and hope you are well

My mother went to Carbrook School, though a bit earlier than this. Joan Peacock was her name. She also has a sister Hilda, brothers Malcolm, George and Geoff. I forget the name of the street...there was an old joiners workshop on the corner and it met Broughton Lane near the Bird in Hand. It may have begun with 'M' and ran opposite to Raven something street. The Twiggs lived in the same yard. Any help would be a help to but some names together, it holds good memories for me

The name of the street was Melville Road and the old joiner's workshop was actually Smalleys Wood Yard. I was born opposite your mum's house on Melvillle Road off Broughton Lane in 1944. Your mum was the oldest then brothers George and Malcolm sisters Dorothy and Hilda and youngest brother Geoffrey Bruce. Dot, Hilda, my sister and myself used to play together as kids and grew up together. We all went to Carbrook County Infants and Junior School which was on the common opposite Janson Street not the Church of England [C of E] school which was down Carbrook Street. Didn't have contact with your mum because she was nearer to the age of my older sisters, I think your dad's name was Harry and he had lovely blonde/white hair.

65 broughton lane

I lived on Melville Road next yard up from Smalley's woodyard. Went to carbrook infants and junior school then on to Coleridge Road. My grandparents used to keep the Bird in Hand before I was born. Though I was born and bread here I'm not sure where abouts on Broughton Lane number 65 would be. I went to Surbiton Street Chapel Enfield arms on one corner and the Railway pub on the other. I think you may be right about the man at the tuck shop he was the seargent major type he caught me one day at the bubbly machine, I had found a way of getting more bubblies out than I should have for my penny, he wasn't very happy

mrs paddly was usher at the palivion

My class mate's mum Mrs Barratt worked in the box office and as she new me I could never get in when the films were rated 16 and over.

A mate of mine lived on Weedon Street, the Rodgers Family.
Mick Grayson also came from that end, he was trouble with a capital T.

Can remember Bird in Hand pub and George Keens Haulage next to it, can't remember the houses. I have just spoken to someone who lived in the big yard on Broughton Lane, she is 6 years older than me and remembers them well. She told me about old Mr Whymans shop, but I only knew his son's shop on the common. She says she went to school with someone who lived in your houses. I remember the shop on the corner of Campbell Road called bullivants and of course I used to love going to the dairy watching them bottle the milk. Mrs Moffatts shop was at the left hand side of the entrance to the big yard and a famly called Gray on the other side.

Hi, Mazcris i think you are wrong about the school on the Cliff if you go and look the name sheffield board school is still there, junior entrance on the left and seniors on the right ,the boys and girls had separate entrances i know that bit because my mate used to complain that they could not talk to the girls,has they where kept apart.

Hi, Mazcris my mistake its infants on the left and juniors on the right.

Hi, Mazcris my mistake its infants on the left and juniors on the right.

Hi nomoney, I am 66 and was born on Melville Road and throughout my infants and junior schooling on all documentation it was always referred to as the Carbrook County infants and Junior School I had a word with my older sister who is 82 and she told me when she was a kid it was known as the Carbrook Board School so that explains it. When I attended there were mixed classes in both schools and we all went through the same gate, it was only when I went to Coleridge Road that we were separated girls in one part and boys in the other. My older sisters both attended Carbrook C of E School, as they lived on Carbrook Street opposite the school when they were kids.

hi pete you may know my sisters susan an christine also i put lartons not lacey haha our susan 60 im 54 she remembers the laceys

your the same age as me terry
unfortunately i remember very little from that age as i was put in care when i was about 6 my mother brother & sister lived there for a few years after me but then moved to liverpool st when mum & dad`s marriage broke down i believe at that time english steel owned the property & when dad lost his job mom lost the house or she didn`t pay the rent never got a lot of truth out of her over them early years from what i recall the probably moved about 60/63 can remember greens corner shop & greengrocers at the bottom of the street near the school [went there for first year of school then to maltby st] mom & dad now dead havent seen my brother or sister for 30 odd years such is life
better neighbours in thhem times than you tend to find now remember paddling in the yard when it used to flood & getting my a*se smacked for doing it

Hi Damnika.
This will be a revelation for you,your Dad was my best man with your Mom
and I went to schol with her

Does anyone on here know Susan Cousins,She had a brother called paul chipchase..Her mother was called betty chipchase.Would love to trace susan down she was my bessie mate way back then in the 1960s..

i pete been in hospital thats why its took time to reply,i remember when the yard use to flood haha we must have know each other i was born at 45 yarouth st there till i was 11 we had a fence round our house because of the dog ,remeber going to toilets at top of yard they were great times wish i had saved school photos

hi terry
sorry to hear youve been in hospital
yes they were`nt bad days dont hold a lot of good family based memories can just about remember the corner house in the yard being fenced remember steve martin working his way thro the attic spaces [ or so i was told] the toilets were a trial in winter our cellar used to flood with the rain then we had to paddle across the cellar to get the coal [when we had any] sometimes we had to use the tin bath as a boat to reach it
good neighbours in them days everyone used to look after their neighbours
seem to remember eric woodhead had relatives that lived at the top end of the yard
and a scrap car that used to be on the waste ground at the entrance to the yard swarms of maggots were crawling all over the place when they moved it
as i said we lived at 41 next door to the martins rember gary kemp & his brother & a girl called gillian saunders but it was many years ago so memory is not what it was plus there was a lot of family turmoil developing at the time which split the whole family which led to me being put into care & my brother shortly after, my brother returned home to my mother but yarmouth street was my last home as a family tho`i did visit from time to time until my mother left the area

I think they might be different schools, but I'll mention it to Mum tomorrow and see if she recognises the names. Carbrook C of E was on the very end of Bright Street... can't remember the name of the road it was actually on.

My Dad went to Coleridge Road though. Albert Rawson and they lived on Century Street.
