Are there any Sheffielders in Cornwall ?

There is (or was) a Sheffield/Rotherham connection with the Post Office in Sennen and the Chippy in Sennen Cove.Sorry I can't remember exactly.And there are lots of Sheffielders in the village of Sheffield just outside Penzance.

Are you thinking of moving there barber?

Thanks for the match update. I have been down here many years. your right it is beautifull. you must let me know when you next come down I havnt had Hendersons for years

Lost my connection for a while there.Still 2-1.Don't they sell 'ensons down there.I'd be happy to bring some down.

I live in Cornwall and have done for the past 35 years. Unfortunately my husband is a Blades fan(having been born near Bramall Lane) I was born Wadsley Bridge so I suppose I would be more inclined to Owls if I followed football. Needless to say he wasn't very happy last night - first time in 94 years that Owls did the double.

There are certainly two Sheffielders in Plymouth, strangly we both went to Firth Park Grammar. I know Plymouth is in Devon, but that's near Cornwall!

It obviously got you thinking about gods own country!I've found out today that the bloke who used to play the organ in Sennen church was from Sheffield and the car-park man at Mousehole was from Rotherham(but that was a good few years ago)

Good to know you can get Henderson's relish in Cornwall. I was down t' last 3 drops. PS: Barber we're all Blades fans down here Duck x

good to hear from you, there are a few true blues here. Strange name you have for a red.

It's because I'm a Blues musician LOL. but still it can be confusing.
Peace and Love D

My wife has gone the other way. She's a Cornwallian in Sheffield.

John Piper, a veteran journalist who worked for The Star in Rotherham for many, many years, lives in retirement in Cornwall --near Helston; and a former Star editor, David Flynn, lives near Bodmin. Long ago, my favourite author, Howard Spring, whose novels featured Cornwall (even though he was a Welshman and a former Manchester journalist), lived in Falmouth at a place called The White House.

Hi again since we last talked i found hendersons in a shop in helston.

How much is it? I paid £1.31 last week at Tesco

methinks you have been ripped off big time.Morrissons ,95p

which morrisons no sign of it in penzance

A little off topic but still about Cornwall. I'm reminded of a holiday we spent at a Holiday Camp in Cornwall back in 1957. It was at Perranport: Perran Sands. Decide to google it and to my surprise found out it's still operating. Anyone been there recently or like me, way back in the 50s? Bit of a shoestring operation bk then.

We went on a last-minute last year. . . never again. . .although if you are into all the non-stop fun thing then you would love it. There is even a burger king on site.
Have to say it was full of chav's and the people in the accommodation next to us had their passenger window on their car smashed as did about half a dozen other holiday makers.
Perranporth is still really nice though IMO. :)

I lived in Helston and the Lizard for many years. My mother and father moved to Falmouth in the early 60s, my brother to plymouth then to Liskeard in the sixties, and my nephew still lives in Camelford. My son was born in Redruth. So the entire Sheffield family lived in Cornwall. At my brothers funeral in 1989, there were a lot of ex Sheffielders there, all living around Liskeard and working in plymouth.

I live very near Helston, have done for quite some time. The place is dying on its feet. Thank God for Culdrose and the people who work there. Without them Helston would only see the odd tourists passing through

Former Yorkshire cricketer, Chris Old and his wife who taught in Sheffield and was a good hockey player at Abbeydale have a fish and chip shop/accommodation place at Praa Sands.

I play golf at Praa sands and live 2 miles from there. dont know the chippy is it at rosudgeon the next village up? I will be sure to pay them a visit

I used to live on the Lizard in Cornwall, now in Sheffield. My parents and brother are still down there, so pop down at Xmas etc with supplies of Hendersons! :)

Got a brother who retired to Looe about 10 years ago. Moved to the back of beyond to a place called Harrowbarrow last year.

Mr elder bro' is at Gorran Churchtown, near Mevagissey. I suppose you could say he's a Wednesdayite, him and his lad went to the semi aginst United with me in '93, but at the time he said his previous Wednesday game to that was an F.A. cup replay against Everton in '67 when apparently my Dad made him take me cos he was working!
Mind you, these days I'm more of a Rotherham Titans fan, and last year I went down to Cornwall and took him and his wife to their first ever rugby game to see the Titans play against the Cornish Pirates. And what an experience that was! Fantastic atmosphere with the Pirates fans singing and chanting all the way through, even though it was an end of season match with nothing at stake. And the home fans took the mick out of me mercillesly all the way through, to then shake my hand and wish me a safe journey home at the end. Total respect for them, great people the Cornish are! My brother loves it down there.

Culdrose is the reason I settled in Cornwall. I was a radio mech in the RN. My Ma and Pa followed us down when my Dad ws unable to stay in Sheffield because of air pollution. My older brother brought a couple of his pals down for an interview at Tecalemit in Plymouth and they offered him a job as well with a council house available in Devonport.I suppose Flora Day is still going strong, Helston's once a year day. I had a cottage in Lizard for a long time, loved it there.

Yes I live in St. Columb Major near Newquay Cornwall. My name is Deran Hancock.
My wife and I with our 2 boys left Sheffield 28 years ago.
I now run my own electrical contracting company with my son Steve
I am also Mayor of St.Columb's Town Council
I went to Pipworth Road School from1953 to 1963.
I lived on the Circle the Manor untill i got married then lived on the Wybourn left to go to Cornwall 1981

I went to norfolk school had lots of pals on the manor. I moved here 30 years ago. Never moved since. Still known as that northern bloke ha! I love the place and people
st columb major is a big change to the manor and wybourn

yes helston still has its flora day,may the 8th, try to stay away though as donnt like the crowds.
left sheffield 30yrs ago to look after my mother when she moved to a village on the lizard met and married a local girl have been back to sheffield a couple of times to see a freind who lives at bents green always glad to get back to the piece of st. k.

I am looking forward to flora day.I have a barber shop near Helston the visitors are always welcome especially if they need a haircut

A new member Cornishmaid joined a short while ago, but I don't know if she is still here because she didn't feel welcome, which is a real shame.

thats a shame perhaps we should organise ameeting of all of us down here and start a club or something

Thanks for the match update. I have been down here many years. your right it is beautifull. you must let me know when you next come down I havnt had Hendersons for years

Hi Barber,

Hi Deran

The old silver ball town, you had a power cut today did you not???

thanks for the offer but i found a stockist in helston. chips never tasted so good

Hi Yorkie Derran.
I live in Godolphin Nr Helston been here over 30yrs. Have a barber shop in Porthleven.went to norfolk school with lots of lads from the manor. Glad you and family doing well.

which morrisons no sign of it in penzance

Morrisons Penzance just on the Marazion turnoff coming in from Lelant used to be a Safeways

Love Godolphin House, somtimes cornwall rminds me of Yorkshire, lovely coastline and moors---but warmer!

My Brother lived in Helston and Porthleven. He was in thr Fleet Air Arm. I once won a game of Shangai in the Godolphin and nearly got lynched !

His Mother in law has a big house at the top of Porthleven Harbour where she has a very large doll collection and my niece still lives in Helston

He is now buried in Portheleven Cemetery

I think it was a Pub called the "Blue Anchor" where I tasted the famous "Spingo" beer in Helston. Apparently it was the first pub to allowed to breww its own beer.

the blue anchor i think still brews its own beer. It is one of the better and busier pubs in the town

I adore Cornwall ! We are off there again this year and we will defo be going to Helston to find Hendersons shop tho Mum keeps me suppled ! Will fly the flag for the Owls while Im down there !

Morrisons is just on outskirts of Penzance ,just go round the roundabout and its on the Rt coming out of Penzance !

took the kids every year while they were young, it was lovely till the last few years when the place was full of slot machines and burger bars, but still a lovely holiday and perranpoorth beach is lovely,

By the way, did you know there is a village in Cornwall called Sheffield, I came across it by accident once and took a photo of the kids standing beside the sign.

Sheffield in Cornwall is west of the county - towards Penzance.

As Gladys Clark says Cornwall very much reminds me of Yorkshire. When we came to view our now house 35 years ago - the view across the valley from the front window was so similar to our view across the valley in Penistone minus the railway. Of course, the sea from the back was so different making it our little bit of paradise.

Hi Smary, I'm off to Cornwall next week, Crantock to be precise so whereabouts is Sheffield down there? would love to visit it and take a photo or 2.

Sounds complicated to me - just find the A30 - head for Penzance

oh blimey!!!! need a map and a dozen compasses to follow that :confused: However, A30 to Penzance sounds much better and head towards Paul. Will take a trip out there when I'm down that way next month. Thankyou for that

I`m in Cornwall , born and bred in Sheffield but lived here, near Looe for 30 years and an Owls supporter too !

Like you Cornishmaid we moved here 35 years ago and love it. We are on the coast at a little place called Gorran Haven - I am married to a United Supporter but my Yorkshire family support Wednesday. You can imagine the problems with that!!!

I'd love to live where Doc Martin lives, my favorite show :love:

Up the Blades!!! ....Even though they've gone down:(

Smary , I can really empathise with this , my family all supported the Owls , except for Grandad who was a firm Blades man, oh the stormy seas we used to endure !!
