Hi from Oz, does anyone remember Joe Dams who lived on Halifax Road in the 50`s first house to the left from Deersland had three brothers, went to foxhill then Meynell, left in 55. Also, Eric Clews, Tom and David Fox, Roland Nailor all of Deersland Mount.

When I read the heading thought it was about shooting the buggers,

Would have been better to ask about the best place, a lot quicker:)

Why not consider paragliding, the most purest form of flying. May not be the safest but hey, we pass this way but once.

Fruit and veg from the back of a horse and cart, a live chicken from the rag and bone man, watch the lamp lighter adjust the timing clock once a week, see the knocker up man with his long pole. The sheer delight of throwing a big overcoat onto the bed on a cold winters night. I even remember being treated by a doctor in hall that had over twenty patients waiting, seated in chairs around the wall all looking on.

Old charlie and his horse used to come into Deerslands Mount every friday evening in the warmer months sold fruit and veg and every time his horse dropped a load of "manure" it was a race between the kids as to who could scoop it up first and it went straight onto the rhubarb and strawberries. We also had the rag man who would give you a live chicken for any rags. We also had the knocker up with his long pole and back in the late 40`s we even had the old lamp lighter.

Hi, does anyone remember the old guy that used to come around with a long pole and knock on the upstairs window to wake you up, think my dad paid him a bob a week. Also I vaguely remember the gas lighter down the bottm of Deerslands Mount. Was I dreamimg????

s there anybody out there from the night of the church climb (or the fields of fire?).............is that the corn field on Deerlands and Chaucer??

Did anyone go to Meynell Road after Fox Hill junior? I`m sitting here in Oz and being taken back to my youth. Thanks to all you guys for contributing. By the way does anyone know the Damm Family,joe was my best mate, that lived on Halifax Road?

In the early 50`s Sheffield had three markets, two open air and one fish market, do they still exist?

Any old Parson Crossites in Oz,I was on the Cross between 1946 and 1958. Went to Fox Hill then to Meynell Road.

Hey Glenn, would you be any relation to the Foxes that lived on Deerslands Mount, I was mates with Tom and his cousin David in the 50`s

Went from Fox Hill to Meynell Road in 1950 and I swear that some of the teachers were total bullies to us kids. I know now that those teachers had real problems and what they did back then would have them in jail now. I joined the army because I did not know any better but turned out ok.

Hey Starduste, i`m from Shefield and I`m also in Oz, problem is I think all my randy left me.

I left Sheffield in 1962 for Oz and often wonder what happened to a lass called Christine Sherwin who lived on Middlewood road,( I think) pretty as a picture and a heart of gold. 47 years to late but I still have the memories.
