G'day. A fairly well known fisherman and fishing writer named Tag Barnes used to work for Sportex in the 60's. regards Tony -
With a forum title like mine I thought I should have my 2penneth. The ship that died on my birthday 4th may 1982 was of course not the "Shinysheff" even though she might have been called that. The WW2 ship was called "shiny" because the good burghers of Sheffield at the time had all her brightwork made of stainless steel instead of brass. I'm glad to hear the later Sheffields being called Shiny. Lest we forget.

On a construction site loo wall in Sydney, Aus. late 60s. "There are only 2 races on this earth, Yorkshiremen and those who would like to be!"

The house in the corner of the dam was called "Fox Holes Lodge" and in the mid 60s the Wood family lived there. The cabins you talk about ran back towards the Post office on that side of the river. Who owned them or rented them out I wouldn't know. not sure if any of it is still there but you could google earth the area.

A great big thanks Hillsboro for the link to the photo posted earlier. That is my(was) my dads shop on the coner of Shirland Lane and Britnall St. I have been searching for a snap for years. Pity it was after the shop closed but great to be able to see his name up there. If any one should come across anymore photos please let me know. regards Tony Crookes
