  14. David, I started sharrow lane in 1955 so I just sneak in. I was there till 1961 and moved to Newfield ( yes I failed my 11 plus ) would love to come but my last visit to Sheffield was a couple of years ago and it will be a few months before I am back for another visit. It has probably been to long and I have been away since 1975 , please see if anyone remembers me. Alan Hardy, from Lansdown Rd. Thanks.
