Hi Tracy,
I left Sheffield for Australia in 1968, when I was 15, I do remember the Pond Street Gang, my friend and I spent a lot of hours in Pond St, on the sneek ofcourse, our parents would never have approved, I remember Bones and Elvo, ask your dad if he remembers Lips, Plugs, Liver, and Jeff Wragg....they were really a good bunch of guys,.... my god how time flies,

Where abouts in Pitsmoor did you dad live and his age please within 5 years.

Thanks for that my dad does know the names his nickname was Step...does anyone remember him?

Oh and hes in his early 50's

Hello

My dad (STEP) says does anyone remember (or are you) Killer, Eskimo and Booklab??

He remembers the names other people have listed - be good if we could find out what they are all doing now...

Tracy

Hi Tracy
I agree, it would be great to find out what everyone is up too now, and how they've changed, they were actually the Pond Street Mob...LOL...(not gang) I too remember killer and eskimo....maybe we could arrange a reunion....LOL...I'd like to see some photo's if your dad has any,
I remember once taking my little brother(he was 3yrs at the time) up town, as we called it, when he got home he told my mom and dad, Kath was talking to boys, my dad said what boys.... with a thunderous look on his face, he said "liver, lips and plugs", my dad. (thank god) thought he was talking aload of rubbish....I mean who would have names like that...little did he know!!...I lived on Southey Green, and I do remember some of them babysitting with us, one night, but I can't remember who???.....email me direct if you want Tracy..kahall2@bigpond.com
.....Kathy

yeh (steps) eskimo is my wifes cousin, he,s still around and quite different to those days

elvo drinks in the windsor pub wybourn,phil jones is usually in white horse netherthorpe.....last i heard eskimo was somewhere near park hill..butlab was on the manor estate when i was last up there 16 years ago......

elvo can be found in the park gardeners club most dinner times (i reckon when he was in the pond street gang was the last time he had a wash n shave)

i see eskimo a few times a week driving a white transit van around the wybourne.(went to his 50th about 4 years ago in the windsor)

butlab i see driving a scrap waggon all over the place (he has a nice pony tail these days)

I've just told Eski about this thread, plus he likes the site so he'll been joining....

Butlap I beleve is called [Nevile Butler] Could be fond in the Elm Tree .
