I was on B1 on Coronation day.The hospital had borrowed a tv from some where, a little 14 inch screen .they had to move all the beds to the bottom of the ward so that we could watch it.

I went in about January, 1950, I was moved from the City General, straight onto Observation. Stayed there for about a week, then moved to B2 for about a month. Then moved onto B1. I stayed there until about 1954, then moved back to the City General. I cant remember many names, but here goes. David Spafford, Johnny Young, David Anderson, Brian Nortcliffe, Arthur Stephenson, plus me , David Dyson.

I was interviewed on the Wilfred Pickles show when they broadcast from Rivelin, I believe Violet Carson ( Ena Sharples played the piano. Some of the stars who played at the Empire theatre used to put a show on at the hospital. remember Tesse O'Shea, who played the banjo, Winifred Attwell,(Piano), and of course there was also the circus.

Wanted: The Brushes Story by "Spike" Johnson
DIDO replied to blazer815's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I remember Spike starting the Cubs at Rivelin, he had to get special permission from the Doctors to start the cubs. -
I have been across the bridge at Tattersall a few times over the past year, and have only seen one person fishing. I think there are too many carp puddles in that area and people have lost interest.
