Yes, I thought it was Moggley Ogg but that could be the Sheffield in me. I knew a guy in the band called Roy who worked at an electrical wholesalers I used to use, he once asked me to roady for them on trips to London but it didn't come to anything. This would be around mid to late sixties. 4x2

Not the earliest for me but I was delivering newspapers for Harold Brookes at the bottom of Well Rd before catching the bus up to Newfield School, 1963. "3 million pounds go zip" in the Sun. 4x2

Frecheville co-op would be the room over the co-op ( Co-operative society, a pre - supermarket store). The room could be rented for weddings, parties etc, my cousin had her wedding reception there. 4x2

It seems no-one wants to admit to being at Newfield but I'm prepared to stick my neck out. I WAS THERE AROUND EARLY SIXTIES! There, I've done it 4x2

There was a guy lived on Cambridge Rd. opposite the bottom of Carter Rd. who had the job of cleaning the glass on the old gas lamps and winding up the clocks. This was the early sixties, he was known as "Top hat" (don't ask), local window cleaners would buy "scrim cloth" from him. 4x2

Hey, Rastrick. I remember hearing of the Redferns from my parents and siblings, I was a bit out of the loop being born 1950. The Taggy's post is fact and could maybe pass on tips by PM. 4x2

Hey again trastrick, all is clear again now, I knew Mary and Dorothy although older than me. Mary (?), Ozzie and Carlos went to live a few doors down from us on Nicholson Rd. Thats a good picture of Carter Rd.I've not seen that one before, you can just make out our house on Nicholson Rd. where we moved to after we left Nicholson Place late fifties I reckon. Ten of us squeezed into 2 up 2 down and a tin bath, don't remember how, then moved to 3 beds and an attic when everyone left one by one. I didn't know about the concrete water container behind the hoardings, I knew it as a play area and dumping ground in the sixties, someone once dumped a massive amount of Meccano there. 4X2

Yes, I'm getting my Carters mixed up with my Gregory's, I used to live on Nicholson Place with the corner of the back yard overlooking the SA ground then moved to Nicholson Rd opposite the end of Carter Rd in the 60's. 4X2

Hey trastrick, I think we're at crossed purposes here, I'm talking about the Sally Army hut on Gregory Rd. just above Maltby's 4X2

Hey, what was there before the big wooden hut that was used by the Sally Army? 4X2

Hey, slightly off piste here but I did a few jobs there as a contractor Had to ask a few times for my money to be told that" the matter was in hand," I asked who's hand was it in and when would it be in mine? I received my money and didn't work there again. 4X2

OK here goes, a couple of years ago we retired outside the UK to a warmer place having lived in Heeley from 1950 (our family dates back to the early 1800's in Heeley) The ice creams in the supermarkets here are the same old same old as available in the UK so we decided to buy a domestic ice cream maker and have a go ourselves. We started out making the basic recipe as suggested in the instruction booklet with the intentions of "adjusting" it to suit our taste, on our first tasting attempt we looked at each other and simultaneously uttered the magic word, "Taggies!" I've heard a few people over the years say that they have tasted ice cream "like" Taggies, this IS Taggies. As most of you Heeley folk out there will have tasted the magical potion, you'll know that the recipe is said to have gone to the grave with him when he died, I do seem to remember someone buying the vans the equipment and having a go themselves but didn't reign too long, I think they called it "Baggies" (see what they did there?) You would expect the recipe to be complicated and contain special ingredients but it's simplicity itself using everyday stuff. I know that people will be skeptical about being able to reproduce something that has remained a secret for all this time but the truth is that we came across it by pure chance. With reverence to the Battle family I don't think it would be fair to just give away their "secret" that I have stumbled across but I also know what passion that magical taste has to Heeley folk so I would urge you get out there, get a machine (not much money in the UK) and have a go yourselves. You would have the advantage over me as I can't get Jersey milk over here but the combination of milk and a little cream that we use seems to work to perfection. We can only make a litre at a time but we think that may be enough for our own consumption, I'm eating one right now. Good luck and best regards to Heeley, 4X2

Just come across this thread belatedly, My mate and I went regularly before we could get away with underage drinking, no alcohol. Yes Tony the owner, The DJ I think was Johnny Lennighan or something similar and possibly a younger brother worked there also. Acts included Ray Stuarts Frankensteins Monsters, a local turn called The Steppes and an outfit called The Wages of Sin. A long time ago. 4X2

We started out with the basic recipe suggested in the booklet with the intentions of "adjusting" it to suit our taste, on our first attempt we tasted the outcome, and both said that magical word, "Taggy's".

Hello, I knew a Lisa Blagden but unfortunately I don't her whereabouts. She was the daughter of a very dear friend of mine who sadly passed away some years ago. The only possible link I can give you is that she has older brother called Phil, shell also had an elder sister called Carol who tragically passed away at a young age. Sorry I don't have anything more useful. Regards
