Heading south past Graves Park there is a tree on the left with a white ring round it, this was the tram terminus was. Even today the ring is still there.

I was at Jordanthorpe from 1957 to 1961 Most of that time in Mr. "Chalky" White's class. Also Deputy Head Mr Rook.

I still have my tag from the 1950s

Don't know about the group, but remember the ice blue INVACAR and in particular a man called Mr. Martin who used to tow a trailer with his INVACAR and sell sweets from the trailer to the kids on the Greenhill estate this would have been in the 1950s

Hey yes had forgot that side of it, but yes that's how it was, awful.... thanks for the reminder.....

My memories of Norton camp are from my grandparents living just down the road in Norton Avenue... it was always referred to by them as the barrage balloon... remember going to open days there, one time in particular when some child was run over by a trailer giving rides as he tried to jump on for a free ride.... another time i won three racing cars in a raffle.... often used to find ammunition outside the fence.. we were sure that some were live, but our attempts to set it off by hitting with a hammer never worked!!!!! was in 367 South Sheffield ATC Squadron from 1958 to 1961 (approx).... remember NAAFI with two snooker tables and a 78 rpm jukebox which was replaced with a new fangled 45 rpm Rockola in my time there.... Oh and the ATC social evenings at the camp when GIRLS from the Women's Junior Air Corps (wjac) were invited...... the youth of today don't know what they are missing.......

Hey yes..... such memories, sad looking place now Norton Camp, upsets me going past...... ATC now have their own website at http://www.freewebs.com/367squadron/
