Grimesthorpe Part 3

Don't recall the shop Brian, and as Scott Street was part of a quick detour across the 'rec' from Petre Street to Newhall Road perhaps I missed it.

Send us a few pics of Brooklyn let's see how we have evolved over the last 40 or so years !

Hi Johnpm, I'am not sure where Keith lived after moving from Scott St,

and not really sure what sports he played. I have seen him around

through Sheffield town last year.

I have been going through your photos you have on this thread and here

are two pics of Keith Wild in uniform on holiday in Jersey 1956/1960.

Hi Peter R, What year would this picture have been taken, i use to

take my little girl there on the odd w/end to play on the swings.

I remember her having a tantrum when we had to go home, she loved

it and having nothing like that in Grimesthorpe or our back yard

to play on. Brian.

Osgathorpe wasn't always a park, if was allotments I think to about 1970. The nearest most Grimesthorpe kids got to playground amenities was Firth Park itself.

I think the 1947 photo was of that year it opened, the kids are running across Barbur Road, the photo taken from either Kayser-Ellison's canteen on Sutherland Road or the rear of Earsham Street houses, the houses just beyond the playground are on Forncett Street and above that is part of the 'Majestic' Firth-Brown's. I use that adjective because they provided a lot of employment (my dad for one) and were synonymous with great things from industrial Sheffield. Oh, and the kids in the playground too !

Also I think the other photo, looking at the kid's clothes, is from at least the late '50s, so a lot of them, including myself (tho' I don't think in the playground that day) are still around. Great pics ! And as this is a Grimesthorpe thread and Sutherland Road is in Ellesmere/Pitsmoor . I respect those at the , well. Carlisle Road /Upwell Street area anyway.

Thanks for them great pictures Peter, i did'nt mention in my last thread

the year i took my little girl to the School play ground.

She was born 1968 so it would be about 1970 plus because in 1972 we

left Grimesthorpe due to the housing compulsory purchase order.

-------------

Yes i noticed the Firth Browns over the top as i was first drawn to the

smoke, cough cough them days.

Hi Stpetre, Yes i remember the allotment, me and my mates use to

visit them and if the owner was on their gardens we use to ask if they

have any old wood or trees for the Nov bonfire. Brian.
