Hi bossyboots where was central dance hall I may be to young for it, born 55 but like to get an idea where it was.we used to go in broughton,enfield,bird in hand,or walk up to dog and partridge,un robin hood, +call in as many as we could on way home.:thumbsup:

Hi cliffsharky,
The central was where the skating rink was I think on Zion Lane near Peace Gardens. Maybe you are to young i was born in 45 but wots ten years, I can assure it was very popular in the sixties and I am realy surprised your'e the only reply I have had.
I suppose many are to old to care now and it's a shame, when it stayed open on unutil twelve thirty on New Years Eve it was like a nite club to me and my friends.
I lived when the down Alfred rd until 1968 when there was the house clearence, and now live in Ecclesfield and I have never known happiness
like I did in the sixties. keep in touch LGX

I first left Attercliffe in 61 and returned several times over the following few years to my mothers on Newhall Road. I can remember the roller skating rink on Zion Lane but can't recall ever seeing or hearing about it becoming The Central?....
I am curious now I must admit.

Hi Joan1, no one seems to remember the Central and we all had sucha good time bopping to the live groups. Screaming Lord Such, Dean Marshall and his deputies, a guy called Jonnie White would sing and many others. They were great times if it was open until twelve you were safe to walk home, unlike today.
I recently met up with an old friend and we had a laugh talking about the fun we had. We never bothered about the pubs , although our boyfriends at the time did.
I lived near Alfred Rd and married a lad from the same area, let me know which end of Newhall Rd you lived, we just might no one another.
Keep in touch LG..............

I remember both the 'skates' and the central that came after. It was just before Zion Lane on the left and upstairs over a furniture store. I first saw Vance Arnold and the Mighty Avengers (Joe Cocker) there - must have been around 1962/63. When it was the 'skates' saturday afternoon used to be the highlight for me and my buddies. Does anyone remember the older (to us) couple that used to figure/skate dance together sometimes then? The floor used to clear for them and everyone watched. People had some respect back then!

I used to know Dougie and didn't know he had died. He used to live close to the bombed out house that had the letters ARP on it and was across from the Liberal Club. It was next to the building site where the nursery used to be in the 50's. For a while there he dated Beryl Newall from Brightside - don't know what became of it though.

Now I know who you are, always with Roger B outside rosies shop laughing, good days pete. I can remember my first indoor toilet, heaven to be able to pull the flush without it being frozen in the cold. no more going across the yard with the bucket hoping no one would see you.But if I am honest there seemed to be more caring neighbors more helpful if anyone was ill. not like today. you never see mothers turning the skipping rope for the kids. playing kikcan, delavio, kiss catch, mind you no one ever kissed me, even though I never ran that fast.ahah. AND HERE WE ARE USING OUR PC.

Started my schooling at Huntsmans gardens ?...
Lived in a flat down there from being 3yrs old to being 6 but looking back it's really strange how clearly I remember it

glad someone has happy memories of Zion Lane. All I remember from the early 60s is the school clinic and dentist in a hut!! My mum had to drag me there and I am convinced the dentist was ex-ss!! Although researching my family history I found my granddad was born onZion Lane would love a picture of the housing but none in the archives

hi braddablade

Vicarage Road was where the school clinic was. I left school in 57 and to be honest, the dentist then has saved me a lot of money over the years. He could have pulled em out, but he saved them and they have served me well over the years. My dentist was a Rolf Harris look-a-like called Mr. Bloomfield and his nurse, (who he married,) was called Joyce if I remember rightly.

MILO007,
Hi again I have recently met up with tonys wife shelia, she told me about her brother inlaw passing away, and it is so sad. If I beleive Tony and Rita were older than there brother, I think his name was Jack.
I'm sure Rita will remember me from the central dance, and maybe from before because, we used to hang around with D Downes, and the Atkinson brothers when we were in our teens. There were me Shelia and my sister Pat by the way Im Linda.
I have spoken to Shelia this week and we are going to meet up for a drink, but I haven't seen Tony for several years. I have it on good authority that he still dresses the same lol.
Keep in touch LG.

We may well laugh, but in those days we were all looked after, by the dentist and the nit nurse at school lol. We also had milk everyday not like the kids today. Thats why we will be among the last to live past our eighties.
Thanks to the good old days.........................

[Hi Gethro/ I remember Maurice Wilson and I think I can remember Margaret. Did she used to hang out with Marie Petty (who lived in Steven Haywards yard) and Linda Haslam who lived in the same yard as thr Lemanskis or with the girls off Bodmin St? That yard was right across the street from us. Mrs Lemanski was the daughter of (?) Brown who owned the little converted shop on the street and they had a son - Stefan. Are Sonny and Kath Wildgoose the parents of David Wildgoose? Dave and I were good buddies and I have been trying to find him for many years now. I heard that he and quite a few people from the area moved the new housing on Greenland Rd, but it's difficult to track people down from here in British Columbia. The Wildgooses used to live in the same yard as the Willets. I remember Mick - his dad used be a very good piano player. Hope this is not too many questions for you Gethro and thanks for the information you've already passed on.]

[Hi again mickr. we were the house next to Wallers, as a matter of fact it was their son Bill who l left England with to hitch-hike around the world arrived in N Zealand two years later, been hear ever since. Jack must have left about four years later than me, l left in 1956. l remember the Bodfields and Richardsons, l believe the Petty's lived next door to them, l always fancied lrene Petty. where abouts in Ausie is Jack,? give him my regards he may still remember me, though its over fifty years ago. my name is Pete Beardshaw]

Marie and Irene Petty are my aunties, my mum being Alice Petty. The Petty family lived at 21 Beall Street (I think!!). I was born in 1955 and mum, dad and I lived with my grandma and grandad until around 1961'ish. I did have a short stint at Huntsmans Gardens School before leaving but can't remember much about it. Can't remember what number the Richardsons lived at but we moved from Beall Street around the same time as them and they became our next door neighbours at our new address. Unfortunately both Jean and Brian Richardson have now passed away but they have a son called Russell.

I remember a Josie Waller in Bodmin St in the 1940s, we used to play together as kids, was this the same family

Just wonder if anyone remembers my nanna and grandad, Bill and Ivy Glasby? They lived on Hoban Street and my grandad worked at Brown Baileys until about 1969. They had one son, Don (my Dad) who sadly died earlier this year. My nanna's maiden name was Whitehead and her family also came from Attercliffe.

Hi all,

Did anyone know Cissy Monks from Carbrook St, married Ivor Stanley Morley? They had a son Robert and daughter Anne who I think went to the primary school near to Carbrook St.

Thanks in advance.

Jon

Hi

Im looking on behalf of my M.I.L. to be, and here is the info that I have been given. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated :)

We're looking for Paul Wood(s) son of Dennis and Marjory (nee) Cannon.

He had 2 brothers Peter and Andrew and a step sister Pat.

He was born/lived at 46 Swan Street, and lived in there at least in the 50's.

As I said before, any information at all really would be appreciated.

Cheers
Angi

The proper address for the central ballroom was church lane not zion lane, there was an emergency exit on zion lane only.

Great to see the attercliffe thread still going,i actually started the original one.Some of the older members know longer on here or indeed with us

Yes, its good to wander on to these pages when ya get a bit of spare time.... wanderin down Memory Lane or Titterton Street really!! Whenever I come on here, youve not long since been gone Brooksy!! Keep it up.... and I think I been around on here nearly as long as you...

hi tangerine I started out on titterton st forgot number but it was bang across from school first house side of think it was a telephone exchange. but football always went over the wall right drop down. I was smaller then so may have not been that deep but you dearn`t ask your dad to get it.just been reading a book that explains where the name titterton comes from coincidence.

Great to see the attercliffe thread still going,i actually started the original one.Some of the older members know longer on here or indeed with us

Yes that was the very first thread that I posted on and my reason for joining.
I was born on Newhall Road...1942 and went to Maltby St Council School :thumbsup:

Hi cliffsharky
Where did Titterton come from... Did you go to Huntsmans then? on other Titterton street and I lived second house on left - used to be able to see over into back of Cutlers pub from our back yard. Those were the days, drifting from Cocked Hat to Cutlers to Brit!!! The other day I was only talkin about us kids on the street... me and my friends (we were about 8) were nicely playin house in her back yard when this lad next door to her was givin us grief... I answered him back and he threw a stone at me... I ducked and it broke my friends house window.. and I got told off for duckin!!! My dad had to pay for and replace the glass... now thats not right....
Remember playing "Four wheels" when it was justing turnin dusk - someone had run to the Worksop Road whilst we got hidden.
Remember starting in the infants in Huntsmans - got a brand new navy blue coat and when I went to coe hom someone had nicked it and left an old scruffy thin cardi.... heartbroken I was!!! I remember Johnsons living in that first house on that part of Titterton (Joan had newsagents on Worksop Road) but cant remember anyone else on that side.

Hi Joanl
Just reading your post, my friend Kath Shepherd used to go to Maltby Street school in 50's and used to talk about a Joan and a julie fothergill - was it you?"

Hi Joanl
Just reading your post, my friend Kath Shepherd used to go to Maltby Street school in 50's and used to talk about a Joan and a julie fothergill - was it you?"

No not me and although I can remember the name Fothergill I think it was a Pat and she was older than me.
I was Joan Robinson and left in '57.

I used to knock about with Alan Fisher and Pete Wiley from about 1954 to 58
They lived in a side street opposite Banners. Anyone remember them?

my cousin Tommy Haywood lived in one of those streets opposite Banners - just cant remember the street name. Opposite side of the road and further down from that fantastic pie and peas shop!!! Remember going with a basin, getting it filled with pie and peas and gravy!!

Hi tan . Henry titterton was a trades unionist and temperance campaigner who live around 1870s but also know for growing fine rhubarb on the old market garden . what the old huntsman garden school was built on . only lived on titterton st till I was 3 then moved to fell rd but my grandad and aunt dot lived there till 70s so kept calling in and cocked hat with my dad . Them days I had to sit in kitchen while he had a drink or 2 .Sure henry titterton would have frowned on that. Used to go on all cocked hat fishing match's when I was a lad great dads.:P:hihi::suspect:

What was your aunty dot's surname an your grandad - I must know them if they lived there up to 70's.
I have some old maps somewhere, Cliffsharky, when I was researchin my Attercliffe roots for a course at night school some years ago and I remember seeing some gardens around what became Titterton Street. Wished I'd know the stuff about Henry Titterton an his rhubarb then though, it would got me some more marks!!

Tan have sent you a pm with names sure house number was 21.

Hi MARY POPPINS, Your"e right ,Ronnie Dukes, Ricky Lee & familly did live in a bunglow in Brisworth. It was no 1 Broadway,(he told us he always wanted to be on Broadway,!!!). I was one of the gang of four bricklayers which built Rons bunglow sometime in 1959.He was a real great guy, used to come up to the site every couple of weeks or so,just to see how things were going, at that time he had a great big Ford Fairlane coupe, shocking pink in coulor!!!!. He would stay for a while, then give us all a ten bob note (50p) each!.(you cold get 8 pints of Stones Bitter for that then!!!!!.) The gates with the music notes on were made extra wide cos" of the big car he had. He also had a small personel gate to the side also with music notes on. I actually built those brick pillars while Ron was watching where he gave me an extra ten bob note. Great guy!.

Hi Joan1, no one seems to remember the Central and we all had sucha good time bopping to the live groups. Screaming Lord Such, Dean Marshall and his deputies, a guy called Jonnie White would sing and many others. They were great times if it was open until twelve you were safe to walk home, unlike today.
I recently met up with an old friend and we had a laugh talking about the fun we had. We never bothered about the pubs , although our boyfriends at the time did.
I lived near Alfred Rd and married a lad from the same area, let me know which end of Newhall Rd you lived, we just might no one another.

Just wonder if anyone remembers my nanna and grandad, Bill and Ivy Glasby? They lived on Hoban Street and my grandad worked at Brown Baileys until about 1969. They had one son, Don (my Dad) who sadly died earlier this year. My nanna's maiden name was Whitehead and her family also came from Attercliffe.

Hi, I'm not sure but my mum and grandma both worked at Brown Bayley's and I think I remember the surname Glasby being mentioned. Sorry I don't know anything more than that. My grandma was Annie Denial and my mum is Audrey Bell (nee Denial).

My wife lived on Clement Street: one of a family of four girls and a boy. Her dad worked at Brown Bayleys as a Chief Electrician - Arthur Smith.
She went to Coleridge Road Schoool then reluctantly to Hinde House.
She used to knock about with a group of three other girls and by a remarkable coincidence met up with one of them on a Cruise Ship. They hadn't met for twenty years then found themselves stood next to each other on the party to celebrate the last day of the cruise.

Hi cliffsharky
Where did Titterton come from... Did you go to Huntsmans then? on other Titterton street and I lived second house on left - used to be able to see over into back of Cutlers pub from our back yard. Those were the days, drifting from Cocked Hat to Cutlers to Brit!!! The other day I was only talkin about us kids on the street... me and my friends (we were about 8) were nicely playin house in her back yard when this lad next door to her was givin us grief... I answered him back and he threw a stone at me... I ducked and it broke my friends house window.. and I got told off for duckin!!! My dad had to pay for and replace the glass... now thats not right....
Remember playing "Four wheels" when it was justing turnin dusk - someone had run to the Worksop Road whilst we got hidden.
Remember starting in the infants in Huntsmans - got a brand new navy blue coat and when I went to coe hom someone had nicked it and left an old scruffy thin cardi.... heartbroken I was!!! I remember Johnsons living in that first house on that part of Titterton (Joan had newsagents on Worksop Road) but cant remember anyone else on that side.
Hi Tangerine
I am David Johnson and we are the ones who lived at 41 Titterton street the one on the corner. I remember all the games we used to play including Kick Can. Run around the Lump (along your bit of Titterton Street down the gennel in the middle and back along Worksop Road finishing up the hiil back at Titterton Street). Others who used to play with were David Wade, Kenneth Sidaway, Marjorie (his siter) Jacqualine Parker, Julie Hatward, Anne, Derek Capes the Graysons, etc, etc. Mum did have the newsagents on Wrksop Road until she died in 1981 and Dad just never opened it again.

Are you David Johnson the triple jumper? and did you have the newsagents on Worthing Road?

Yep the same one although I would say that it was more of a news van than a newsagents. I remember how cold it was during the winter at the corner of Worthing Road, but met some lovely and facinating people (good old Attercliffe characters) and have some very funny and interesting stories to tell

Yes, its good to wander on to these pages when ya get a bit of spare time.... wanderin down Memory Lane or Titterton Street really!! Whenever I come on here, youve not long since been gone Brooksy!! Keep it up.... and I think I been around on here nearly as long as you...
Hi to Tangerine. coudn't help myself commenting on Titerton Street. I was actually born on Titerton Street in 1950, don't know what number but we moved to Pitsmoor when i was only 3 months old so can't remember anything about it. My dads parents lived across the road, can't remember the name of the street but they were called Johnson (i assume because that was my dads name, but you never know in those days. he married my mum (Elsie) whose maiden name was Sheperd she was a divorcee and her family lived down the cliff as well, again i can't remember which road.

Les Johnson

Don,t know if i have the right era for you but it,s interesting to see those street names cropping up on here.

Hi David johnson. I think you are probably related to me, If i am correct then your dads name would be Clem, he and my dad were brothers.
Let me know if i have the correct david Johnson but all your info on the paper shop seems to ring bells.

Les Johnson

Hi Frippa. See my post to David johnson.

Regards Les Johnson

Hi Tangerine. I was born on Titerton Street in 1950, but we moved to Pitsmoor when i was 3 months old, Frippa aka David johnson is my cousin.
My mothers name was Elsie Sheperd a divorcee with a son Graham, my dad was Les Johnson
(needless to say i was named after him) I just wondered if you (or anybody else on this board) new either of my parents if you are of that era. I have been trying to piece together who my mother was married to 1st time around (Grahams father) unfotunately neither of them are alive now and never spoke of things when they were alive.

Regards Les Johnson

Hi Les
My dad was Clem Johnson and Mum Joan. I know that dad had 5 brothers plus 2 I think sisters. The ones I know of are Florence and Nora who lived in Oaks Green with Brother Mark and wife Hannah living 2 houses away. Both of them never married. Another brother Joseph died in the 1st WW at the Somme aged 17 (I still have his commendation), I also remember visiting Les and George when I was young. I lived with Dad and grandma at Titterton street. Other relatives in the area were cousin Anne, Julie who both lived on the other end of the street. The Johnson family in Attercliffe apparentely goes back to the 14th century. The vicar Robert De berry told me this when he organised the centenary of the Attercliffe Church (behind William and Glyn's bank) in 1981. All the birth, death and marriage certificates adtibng back to 1860s have a variety of Attercliffe addresses e.g. Worksop Road, Chippingham Street, Britnall Street, Oakes Green, etc. I hope this helps
David

Thanks David, good to know that long time relatives are still around.
Do you still live in the Attercliffe area ?

Les Johnson

No moved to London in 1984 as no jobs in Sheffield thanks to Thacher. I can if you wish contact someone who may be able to answer your query re your dad's first wife if you want
David

Hi David. Any information on my parents before i or my sisters were born would be brilliant as we are trying to piece together our familyls history.
I noticed you put in your message "my dads 1st wife" now i know my mother was a divorcee, but did my dad have a previous marriage as well ? or was that a typing error on your part.

If you could contact who ever you know that could fill in some gaps that would be good.

Hope you are keeping well and look forward to hearing from you.
I also have a private email address if you wanted to use that, as follows

Hi David,

My Gran was called Hilda Poole.

Hi Carlb
When I started to sell the papers all the buildings including the newsagents were mainly derelict, but a few were still occupied e.g. the corner shop and cafe, and the houses below-down the slope.
When they finally demolished the newsagent I bought a van and moved next to the garages just down the road.

Hi Frippa
Brings back memories to hear people talk about 4 wheels and running round the lump.
I remember playing cricket across the road outside your house, with the stumps chalked on the cutlers yard wall.

Hi Ennis
Did we ever play together? Remember we use to use the old gaslight post outside my house as home base when playing tag or hide and seek and sometimes would climb the wall in to Huntsman's gardens to play in the school yard when the caretaker was not around. Also rolling down the little hill at the aqueduct although get dog poo on you was not pleasant
Frippa

I was in the same class as a girl named Gosling that went to Ossie. I left HG in 1948 to go to the Tech.

I remember a Josie Waller in Bodmin St in the 1940s, we used to play together as kids, was this the same family

I presume that you are Betty Gosling who lived on Bodmin St. next to the school. If so, I was in the same class as you. I lived on Britnall St.

Hi Zenia, did Alan Fisher have a brother called Cliford & his dad was the Scout Master for the 7th Sheffield. yours Barrie

Hi Frippa
Yes we played together. I'm Julie Haywood. I spent lots of time at your house in those days, and I must say, your mum and dad made me very welcome. I remember you black dog too. I remember going to the track with you on lots of occasions.

Hi Joan1, no one seems to remember the Central and we all had sucha good time bopping to the live groups. Screaming Lord Such, Dean Marshall and his deputies, a guy called Jonnie White would sing and many others. They were great times if it was open until twelve you were safe to walk home, unlike today.
I recently met up with an old friend and we had a laugh talking about the fun we had. We never bothered about the pubs , although our boyfriends at the time did.
I lived near Alfred Rd and married a lad from the same area, let me know which end of Newhall Rd you lived, we just might no one another.
Keep in touch LG..............

Hi Glenn, my name is Jackie and I know just who you're talking about-though I haven't seen them for a bit. The brothers were Dennis & Glenn Thompson - Glenn doesn't live far from me but not sure where Dennis lives.

Hello Jackie, as much as it pains me to say it and also embarrassing too, I dont recall you from my childhood, did you live on Shortridge Street too?, and did you go to Huntmans Gardens school.

And does the name Anita Taylor, or her sister Pat, mean anything to you?

I knew a girl called anita taylor i went to school with her
