Just wondered if anyone knew my Grandad by any chance...he was quite a well known character from all accounts and had a couple of cafe/B & B's in the hillsbourgh area of Sheffield.

He also owned a scrap yard and some other businesses apparently but i dont know much about all that!..

His name was Thomas Chadwick....anyone remember him?...id be really interested to hear from you if you can remember him at all :)

Wasn't he a pal of Freddy Robinson.
Scrap yard would be Brammalls old yard opposite Gilders on middlewood road.
Having said that I never new him
