Who played Jungle Jim and/or Tarzan in the late40's/50's?
Jossman replied to billhaley's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Lex Barker and Gordon Scott. Johnny Sheffield was "Boy". Tarzan actors depend on the era you are searching for. -
Looking for information on Private W J Lupton
Jossman replied to gracie's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Interesting, we had an Albert Lupton an ex Royal Marine from WWII who taught PT at Owler Lane Sec; Int; in 1956. I wonder if he could have been related. I imagine he would be in his late 80's if he is still with us. -

Jossman replied to pitsmorian's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
My mate from the Navy was in the Fire Brigade, he attended the National Carriers disaster and was very badly burned. He has never worked since. He still lives in Sheffield. -

How did public houses run during the First World War?
Jossman replied to Texas's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I remember in the early 50's seeing young lads carrying trays of beer in the mornings. This was on Penistone Road and was for the furnace-men and hammer drivers. Imagine this in todays PC and H&S world. -
My apologies Janner and a sad story regarding the Tyne. We had similar on the Lincoln in the Fez '64. Our CERA jumped over the side and was never seen again.

Obviously you don't like Ex MAA's Janner.

Sorry, I don't want to hijack this thread to Royal Navy, but I thought Janner would like pictures of his "Old Ships". Thanks for your forbearance. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l279/rba93/hmsunicornmpl805.jpg

Here you go Janner. From one old Matelot to another. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l279/rba93/tyne.jpg

Notre Dame High School in the 50s
Jossman replied to GOLDEN OLDIE's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
My apoligies, it was De La Salle where my mates went. Both Hillsboro' lads. Not being RC, I'm not up with the schools. -
Notre Dame High School in the 50s
Jossman replied to GOLDEN OLDIE's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Two of my mates attended Notre Dame in the 50's. Kevin Meehan later to join the Royal Navy and Jimmy Sellars later to become a Metallurgist. Do you know them>> -
"Roger And Out" at the Frog & Parrot
Jossman replied to CHAIRBOY's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Hi Roger, This is Pete Swann. You were my scoutmaster many moons ago up until I joined the Navy at 15. You knew my sister Anne. I called on you a few times at the "Pig" after I left the RN. Good to know you are still around. I have many fond memories of you. Keep well. -
Any one go to Owler Lane Intermediate school
Jossman replied to ALZYMER's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I am up there myself on Thursday, 17th July, for a long weekend. I am meeting some schoolpals from Hillsboro' Infants circa 1950. Looks like the Shakespeare at Hillsboro Corner will be taking a bashing on the Saturday Lunch. I may have chance to see Pat but my schedule is pretty full. We'll have to see. Good to see your meetings are progressing.
