I lived on the Manor Estate, Ravencarr Rd, through the 50's and early 60's, and I wondered if anyone knew the following tearaways from around that time, and what they're doing now? : Dave Mossman, John Day, Tony Wespy. all on Paulet Rd. Norman Elgie( Elgy?) also known as 'NoNo' on Darcy Close. Eddie Lister, Brian Jacobs, Jimmy White, on Fairfax Rd and John Connelly, Stanground Road.

Hi
There was a girl in my class at Pipworth RD School called Joan Cavill she had twin brothers .can't think of their names though.
Vera
I now remember the twins names who were Stan and Eric
never too late to remember

I lived on Stonecliffe Rd 50's/60's. Unfortunately memories have faded & so have names but these I remember for many reasons: Wraggs, Noonans, Fosters, Graysons, Weeds, Pallister, Malones on Harborough Avenue. Palmer, Hotchkiss, Bainbridge, Betson, Drabble, Allen, Dolby, Beeby(?) Wilson, Toogood all around Ravencarr and Stonecliffe Road

Don't remember any of those names Jack. Guess like you said you need a good reason to remember some of them. Maybe like got into some mischief together with them or being in their gang etc
Vera.

I think you're right there Vera, if you didn't get into any trouble or have somebody's mam coming to your door to complain, you didn't tend to socialise much. After all we weren't exactly part of the 'Cocktails before dinner crowd' on't Manor! By the way, does anyone remember that poor soul we all called 'Mad Harry'? He was around thirty years old I think, mentally retarded and walked with a limp. He was always up and down our street going to the shops on Prince of Wales Rd, usually with his poor old mam. I feel so ashamed, now I'm older, at the names we used to call him.

My name is among the ones from Harborough Avenue.Noonans just lived across, Graysons next door,Betty Foster(GRAY) at the end of the block, Weeds had the shop, Pallisters were the first to have the Grocery shop.I remember some of the others, one of the Dolbys is my Brother-in-Law.
I remember the Elbretts, Pheonixs,Furness,Craigs,Tarbuts and Mrs Malkin.I lived there from 1943 to 1964 then I moved to Gleadless Valley. Tommy Wilson died just last year, he was a nice bloke.

I only knew Geoff Tarbut??

Remembered some more names of people living in houses bordering 'the field' on Harborough Avenue: Swift, Ward, Fenton, Cowlishaw, Hobson, Doherty and a lad we called Ronnie Onions but I can't remember his real name.
I was thinking about the various street traders who operated on the estate in the late 50's early 60's: Craig's ice cream with his trilby in his green and cream Fordson van (I think he had a blue and cream one too), B & C co-op mobile shops, the tripe man in his grey van who used to announce his presence with a hand bell, Fentimans soft drinks, A bloke (who may have been called Mr Fidler) selling fruit and veg from a horse and cart, some old lad who used to sell firewood from a horse and cart in the winter months. There were also two blokes who used to deliver horse manure in an ancient and smelly Dennis lorry. One was the brains, the other one carried the manure in an old dustbin on his back- he had a suspiciously well tanned back of the neck and forearms. The brains had a permanent 'pooh! wot a stink expression' and carried a loo brush for dispersing spillage from the carriers neck and shoulders! Anybody know any more?

Fred Sykes was the coal man he always wore the black leather jacket on his chest when he went out.

I lived on Darcy Close until 1968. I know some of the names you mentioned but only because I knew their relations. I was in the same class as Brian Jacob's brother, Kevan; I was an aquaintence of Jimmy White's sister, Janet; and Brian Elgie (some relative of Norman's?)went out with my friend for a while. Tony Wespy was my Auntie's neighbour on Paulet Road. I only remember him as a respectable single bloke.

I am sorry that I can't give you any up to date news about them.

I travel down Prince of Wales Road quite often and I still think that the view from there is spectacular. I also thought that we had the best shopping centre back then. I loved Wilkinson's chip shop, and the bilberry tarts, apple tarts and custards from Tomlinsons. I also remember the novelty of Bates beer off opening, buying threepenny packets of ready salted Golden Wonder crisps and being given a free can opener every time I bought a canned pop. I can remember my Mum's share number for the Co-op, and I still have the foreign dolls I got free by sending packet tops from washpowder bought from 'the Meadah' (Meadow).

Does anyone remember playing in the flag yard and the air raid shelters next to Pipworth School (even though we were constantly told not to by Miss Warren, the Headmistress?)

I remember the big flagstones and we used to sit on them and watch the football match from behind the goal. It was as if we had free grandstand tickets! Miss Warren I remember too, as she had me and Alan Rooker in her office one day for "Waggin it"( playing truant, to non Sheffielders) A few days before, the school bobby had called at our house and like a fool I answered the door!:loopy: Me and Alan had been upstairs playing with a Meccano set all day.The bobby was a small squat bloke with a bowler hat, umbrella and a moustache and when he caught us I thought it was the end of the world! I remember the shelters too, and what we got up to in them is best kept quiet, especially after we discovered girls.

Doe's anyone know the name, Glaves. Dale, from Queen Mary Cres or Close not sure which.Late 40s early 50s

Hi sweetdexter it was queen mary cresent my dad was there from 1942-1978

ali

Hi sweetdexter it was queen mary cresent my dad was there from 1942-1978

anyone remember the turners lived on queen mary rd from about 1940 to 1968

We left 92 Fairliegh in 1952, I was only 5 but still remember the local shops. Unfortunately peoples names are very vague, I do remember a Mr Moxon who lived in the pensioners flats just round the corner and Sergeant Dusforge who also lived on Fairleigh, can you imagine a police officer living on The Manor today?

My mother and I lived with my grandfather and grandmother Ernest and Nellie Marshall, my mother (another Nellie) went to Prince Edwards and then on to City Grammar (not bad for a Manor lass), thats all folks.

One of the girls I worked with in Barclays Bank 1960-62, I think lived on The Manor. She was called Carol Inglis.

Best man at my wedding came from Manor. Mick Rodgers, used to live on Fretson Road in the 60s.

Does anyone remember playing in the flag yard and the air raid shelters next to Pipworth School (even though we were constantly told not to by Miss Warren, the Headmistress?)

My Ex Herbert Rowbotham was born and raised on Darcy Close and I recall him and his family talking about the Elgies'. Bert went to Pipworth Road school and as a young man he knocked around with Gordon Wragg from Hastilar Road. If there is anyone out there who remembers him I would be happy to pass all this on to him, he would be very surprised and delighted I'm sure.

I never lived on the Manor but I recognise one of the names on the original list.I was at Owler Lane and Hinde House schools with Eddie Lister.He came from the Manor with Brian Moss who was quite a character.I believe he now owns a casino in Florida.

I lived on the Manor from '43 and recall some wonderful memories (both hard times and happy times). Left in '58 and returned in '84 - only to leave again in '85 (permanently). I lived on the top end of the Circle and went to Pipworth Rd school - remembering such eloquent folk as : Mick Fletcher, Dougie Maiden, Roy Sykes, Keith Lawrence, Gordon Batty, Freddie Ward Jnr, Mick Booth etc and those wonderful (hic) teachers Mr Moorhoouse, Miss Drinkwater, Miss Warren, Mr Cliff, Jack Pickering etc. Reading some of the anecdotes on previous entries I also remember Jack Fidler (the Fruit & Veg Man) Smedleys the Chip Shop owner (whose grandson is currently a well known professional boxer in Sheffield. One of my funnier moments was being chased up Prince of Wales Rd and Ravencar Rd by Mrs Greaves (Lower Manor Post Office) who thought I was nicking choc from the Post Office - and she caught up with me - doh! (on what turned out to be a wild goose chase hehehehehe) What memories the Manor holds for me and probably many more of the terrific people who lived there during those years.

Hi,
Do you remember anybody called phil inkler, brian skidmore, andrew williams or paul bullivant? great people at the time, what things we got up to!!!

I do remember the chippie a lot,and the post office ha ha!

what about the wilcocs who were on manor hastilar road?

what about troggy:hihi::hihi:

I grew up on the Manor and went to Pipworth Road School. I remember Wilkinson and Smedleys chippie, Bates Beer Off, the Co-op and I still know my mum's share number. I loved going on the fields behind the school, then going into the woods, where we could play all day long and be safe. I remember walking thro' the woods down to Highhazels park at Darnall, then walking all the way back home again as we had no money for bus fare, even if we had money for bus fares we would still walk there and back and spend the money on sweets. Is it just me or were they happier days back then, when everyone was the same, with parents who worked hard for little money. No need for designer this or that or having the best toys or games. We managed to play quite happily with next to nothing, we weren't bored and definately there was no vandalism. I'm glad I grew up then and not today.

My Nan and Grandad lived on Ravencarr Place and my Gran and Grandad lived on Archdale Road :)

*I lived on Desmond Crescent until 75 when I got married and left.

My memory is a bit rusty where is Desmond Crescent :rolleyes: :)

Yeah, your right, it was a time when you felt safe, and I too used the woods a lot at the back of the school at Pipworth, and then into the woods...great time. I can also remember collecting coal off the back of the lorries at the back of the school too...can you remember them? ha ha what a laugh..

Do you know the Glennons off Fretson Road, opposite the Motehall Inn pub?

Phil

hi

Now you're bringing the memories back. I used to play football on all the pitches that were behind Pipworth Road School. I think the bypass from the M1 to the city center eventually went through about four of them on both sides of Prince of Wales Road. Old fashioned football boots with nails sticking up in my feet from the leather knock in studs.The ball made of leather and soaked in dubbin to make it waterproof.....it wasn't... and was nearly always egg shaped.:hihi: Trying to head a wet football in those days was like getting hit on the head with a rubber mallet :D: At a certain time of year the woods at the back of the school were always covered in bluebells :smile: Fond memories of a safer time in Sheffield, especially for kids.

Desmond Crescent was just off Beaumont Road. First there was Alison Crescent, Then Desmond Crescent It was quite a long road, went from Pipworth Road right down in a semicircle down towards Woodthorpe. I lived nearer Pipworth Road. I remember the Woods being full of bluebells also me and my friends knew where to get chestnuts from and where the best blackberry and raspberry bushes were and eating then before they were washed, full of god knows what insects, but back then we did not care. Oooh happy days!!!

I Lived On The Manor 1935-- 1960

Hi mobilenats,
I remember all your family, including your grandma and grandad Lol. I remember Lol working for Sheffield Transport, and then later working in the
42" Mill Maintenance Dept. at Tinsley Park Works.
I used to see Maureen and Curly regularly at one time, but haven't seen them for quite a while.
There are a number of posts about your family on the other Manor Estate thread.
Regards m.

Alright Alan, I'll own up to it, it was probably my idea, BUT no one was twisting your arm! I'll take the blame though, if it will make it easier for you to face the grandkids. :hihi: I think the last time I saw you was when you were bus driving, more than thirty years ago I'm sure. Hope that all is well with you and yours. :thumbsup:

i`m well.still in sheffield only move off manor to hackenthorpe.how did you end up in U.S.A: :

To make a long story short, I worked as a croupier at all three Sheffield casino's and got a job working on the cruise ships in the USA. My (now) wife Kathleen, from New York State, was working on the same ship as me as a cashier, and I brought her back to sunny Sheffield, and we got married at the wedding cake in 1984. I then emigrated to the states in 1985, and am still in the casino business working on a casino day ship that operates off the coast of Georgia, which is just up the coast from where I live in north Florida.

The Birkhills, Colin Smith, the Everitts, Galeys on the corner , opposite them the kingswoods, next the Headfords, then the Halfpennys. Further down there was the big guy on the corer house who used to drive an old Zepher I think with a V8 engine in..

remember when you tried to fly.

babsy who tried to fly

babsy who tried to flyyou did ,when you were at standhouse ended up covered in grazes.Iremember it well.

I bet that was one of my scams to get to the clinic at prince edwards worth it i used to take two hours .Another one was rubbing egg shells into our skin off to the clinic with our leg infections lovely afternoon off school ha

I bet that was one of my scams to get to the clinic at prince edwards worth it i used to take two hours .Another one was rubbing egg shells into our skin off to the clinic with our leg infections lovely afternoon off school ha THAT WERE NAUGHTY,wish I'd thought of that to get away from horrible mr Haigh.

I hated mr haige he used to pull me to the front of class with my nose it hurt.One day he gave me the cane and my hand swelled up my mum walked into class and told him off.When i got home she hit me for distrupting class.I never told her again when i got into trouble

you did ,when you were at standhouse ended up covered in grazes.Iremember it well.

Hi babsy,
How and where did Janet try to fly?

Hi Janet,
How's the legs?
Prince Edward's would have been the last place that I would have wanted to go. I had to be dragged to to the dental clinic there.

Hi again Janet,
Presumably more visits to Prince Edwards.
Don't have many memories of Mr. Haigh, other than his deep voice, "1 o'clock shadow" and he was always "re-arranging" himself.
I see you learnt the lesson that most of us of our generation learnt, that you didn't tell your parents that you had been in trouble at school. If you did it was "double trouble" i.e. a telling off or pushment from your parents.

Hi babsy,
How and where did Janet try to fly? Standhouse school ,off a box in the playground,still laugh about it even now.

I never knew Mr Haigh re-arranged himself glad i didnt i would probably had said something.I remember buying him a present when he left .Probably glad to see the back of him.

Hi Janet,

Prince Edward's would have been the last place that I would have wanted to go. I had to be dragged to to the dental clinic there.

I swear they did fillings but gave nothing for the pain can you remember ever having a needle .I used to scream when they drilled a nerve i have been terriefied of dentist all my life i blame them still .But Sandra Brown ,DianeClarke, and myself did anything to get our trip out calling for some sweets on one of our mothers weekley book till we got caught happy days.

I swear they did fillings but gave nothing for the pain can you remember ever having a needle .I used to scream when they drilled a nerve i have been terriefied of dentist all my life i blame them still.

I didn't have any fillings, but had an extraction once. I had gas, and when I came round I didn't know if I was on this earth or Fuller's Earth. I was then lead into a room with a row of sinks to wash the blood out of my mouth.There were kids crying and blood everywhere:gag:.
It looked like a school for young Draculas.
I never went to the school dentist again.

I think school clinic dentists of that time,scared a lot of people from going to the dentists when they got older,very different from the dentists of today.

just to let you know i recieved a message yesterday asking how i finished up in u.s.a.i live up the road on birley.

wondered why I hadn't seen you for ages,now I know.:hihi:

Anyone remember charlie spriggs on fitzhubert rd in the fiftys.

I knew a Mick Rodgers when we were at Standhouse in the late 50's.... he lived on Basildene... I lived at 197 Queen Mary. My mates in that part of QM between Payler Close and Queen Mary Crescent were Barry Freeman, Georgie Doors, Eileen Bland, Kathleen Bland, Graham Draycott, Barry Hayes, Keith Chapman from Waltheof and others I just can't remember now.... reading these threads does give my memory a work out though!! Cheers from Oz but made in Sheffield!!

I remember the big flagstones and we used to sit on them and watch the football match from behind the goal. It was as if we had free grandstand tickets! Miss Warren I remember too, as she had me and Alan Rooker in her office one day for "Waggin it"( playing truant, to non Sheffielders) A few days before, the school bobby had called at our house and like a fool I answered the door!:loopy: Me and Alan had been upstairs playing with a Meccano set all day.The bobby was a small squat bloke with a bowler hat, umbrella and a moustache and when he caught us I thought it was the end of the world! I remember the shelters too, and what we got up to in them is best kept quiet, especially after we discovered girls.
Hi there. Does anyone remember a Ronnie Parks who lived on Pipworth Road and went Pipworth School in the 1950's.We are the Warrenders and lived on the circle for a while before exchanging with the Unwin family and moving to the Manor Park, Harborough Avenue.

Just recently joined the Forum site and reading all about Manor residents and their experiences etc., I feel that I may know you. You attended Prince of Wales Rd Methodist church and was a good friend of Irene Straw. I lived on the same road as the Straws and was a good friend of Frank, the demon fast bowler at Pipworth Road school. Frank was a couple of years old than me, and used to terrorize us younger kids playing cricket. After all that, am I on the right track?

Does anyone remember a Malcolm Corker or a Ronnie Bennet. They both lived above Harborough Avenue around Fretson Road. Also, I think there was a Ronnie Smith who lived on Fretson Road.The Allwoods ring a bell and so do the Crowthers.

Hi

Yes I remember Ron Bennet, worked with him between '62 when i started work as an apprentice tiler and '66 when I moved south.

Also remember one of the Buxton girls can't recall her first name (Ann?) but I once crept into the bushes on the Crossways with her for a kiss :hihi: I was a bit innocent then!

I remember Maureen Straw who used to work at post office ont' Manor. We used to shop around there at Unwins grocers and Gebharts pork butchers. Gebharts always immaculately clean! Across the road was Hagues fish 'n chip shop!

both my parents came from the manor.ian dale and kathleen travis.

Any one remember Avril Coates who lived on Harborough Ave.
And Billy Reaney who lived further up the Manor.

Philip Glenn the Paul Bullivant you know was he with someone called Dawn Mellor?

Remembered some more names of people living in houses bordering 'the field' on Harborough Avenue: Swift, Ward, Fenton, Cowlishaw, Hobson, Doherty and a lad we called Ronnie Onions but I can't remember his real name.
I was thinking about the various street traders who operated on the estate in the late 50's early 60's: Craig's ice cream with his trilby in his green and cream Fordson van (I think he had a blue and cream one too), B & C co-op mobile shops, the tripe man in his grey van who used to announce his presence with a hand bell, Fentimans soft drinks, A bloke (who may have been called Mr Fidler) selling fruit and veg from a horse and cart, some old lad who used to sell firewood from a horse and cart in the winter months. There were also two blokes who used to deliver horse manure in an ancient and smelly Dennis lorry. One was the brains, the other one carried the manure in an old dustbin on his back- he had a suspiciously well tanned back of the neck and forearms. The brains had a permanent 'pooh! wot a stink expression' and carried a loo brush for dispersing spillage from the carriers neck and shoulders! Anybody know any more?

The Wards could be my lot.

Yes I remember Avril Coates, she went to school with Ann Wheelhouse. The Buxtons were Mary, Lynne, Annette, Robert and Michelle I think. Ann Wheelhouse lived on The Crossways, and the Buxtons were on Fretson Road, along with some Littlers.

Does anyone remem ber Ann Bramall, who lived on Dawlands Close, off Prince of Wales Road. Also the first self service shop I ever went in was the Maypole which opened on Prince of Wales Road around 1958. We were amazed by having to help ourselves. It felt like we were shoplifting.
