  1. yes I went to Whitby Road 68/69 Mr Ellis was there think he took us for french,I can remember Mr Brindley & Mrs Southgate. The headteacher then was Mr Spooner, loved rounders was captain for Hadfields which was green. Used to live on main rd in Gt news shop next door to goddards fruit shop Ali
  2. Had a chat with my dad today I got my dates wrong we didnt leave the shop until 1978, dad reminded me of the big shop across from us hukins and the chemist at the side, also Blaskeys wallpaper shop. We used to have fish and chips from Lomas's every thursday they were the best. I believe it's a different place now but I have very happy memories of Darnall and High Hazels park.
  3. I used to live at Gt news Darnall on the Main Road from around 1968 to 72/73 went to Whitby Road then Beaver Hill (now Handsworth Grange) I can remember Lomas's fish and chip shop Goddard's friut shop next door to me, Bill's wet fish shop, was there an off licence called Bates somewhere where Morrisons has just now been pulled down. Not visited there for years but loved living there.
  4. I went to BeaverHill and remember the sponsered walk wasn't it about 20 mile only did it for the day of school
  5. trying to find out about an oatcake and piklet shop that was at the tram terminus walkey (think its south road) my dad's Aunt & Uncle ran it before during and after ww1. Their names were Kate & James(Jim) Spooner. His mum used to help out there when she was a girl
  6. I can't remember Phillimore School at Darnall, but i do remember Whitby Road Infant & Junior School (now Greenland School I think) at Darnall which I went to around late 60's early 70's. I can remember a few teachers Mr Brindley, Mr Albere (who I think was killed in a car accident) and Mrs Southgate. I also think the french teacher was called Mr Ellis. Does anyone else remember this?

  8. Loopy Lou I have only just joined so I can't send you a private message yet. I have just read one of yours re family history and Orley St sheffield, I have just stared my family history and have the same problem found relatives, who are called Roberts who lived on Orley St. did you ever get to bottom of correct name of st. My dad seems to think it could be Morley as he can remember grandparents living in Walkley. Thanks Ali.
  9. my father in law (now deceased) stared his trade at Barneys when it was in the city centre somewhere near where Gap is now, he worked there in the 50's and 60's before setting up his own Tailor's at Hillsborough called Frederiks. He also did many a window display for Barney

  11. Hi just wondering if anyone can remeber going to Frederiks Tailors shop (my father in law) in the 50's 60's originally on langsett Road then he moved to Middlewood Road where the exelsior chinese is now. He originally worked for Barney Goodman before setting up with a collegue, father in law's name Fredrick Hallam colleague Eric hence the name Frederick. Any information on this would be grateful he has now sadly died and my husband only has a small recollection of the shops Thankyou.
  12. hi just joined the forum although I was not actually here in wartime Frecheville my grandparents and dad were. They lived in a new Henry Boot house number 2 Youlgreave drive, next door to a family called Chambers. My grandad Arnold Roberts (now deceased) played Cricket for Frecheville and in his later years used to be the scorer. My dad Ray Roberts continued with cricket at Frecheville becoming a deadly (so Im told) bowler and he is now one of the longest serving members of the club. He stills visits and has many friends connected with Frecheville Brian Hobson for one. Dad was only 7 when 2nd world war broke out but talks about good friends and neighbours at Frecheville. He attended Frecheville School, and his parents both lived there until they died. Alison Hallam (nee Roberts)
