Anyone remember the stone cottages on Hatfield at sicey ave.A girl in my class at st. pats.(Vera Marsh)lived there,had a younger brother.My brother and i used to walk to and from school with them a lot,as we lived on Bellhouse rd. at the corner of Shiregreen lane.Often wonder what became of Vera in life?.eightlegger.

I remember all the teachers mentioned by lazarus,as i was at St.Theresa's for the last two years at school,both spent in Mr Longs class.The previous years had all been at st. pats,but we moved from parson cross to the manor.I left school in 1951,april.Whilst at st. pats,i was in the same class as miss clifford's nephew michael.eightlegger.

Hi,there,eagleweb,would that be the Dr Hudson that lived on Bellhouse across from Deep lane? if so, my brother and i used to be pals with his son.(can't for the life of me remember his name).The dr.drove a rover at one time,in fact my mother worked for him,for a little while,until we moved to Parson cross from the lower end of Shiregreen.Happy days.eightlegger.

Hi,gadget man.I worked for Ron Boler as a barrow boy about 1956.There is a thread earlier by STUNMON,14-10-11 regarding sheffield markets,thought you may find something interesting on there.goodluck,eightlegger.

sorry stunmon,i spelt horace with an i didn't i? SILLY ME .bye eightlegger.

Hi,stunmon, nice to know you.I worked for a while around 1956,for Ron Boler, barrowing off,(loading retailers vehicles with goods).Besides Ron,there was a salesman,by the name of chris?,two lorry drivers,bill and george,who drove s-type bedfords.Later i worked for b&c dairies on broughton lane,with a man about 50, whose name was Horice,and he lived on Stanhope road at intake-a mad keen fisherman.He was number one man,but never lerned to drive,so i was employed as his instructor mainly,to get him through the test as soon as possible,because his route only needed one man,as delivery's were all downtown before the rush started,-shops,cafes,offices and the main place-The Norfolk Market Hall,where every morning we would return around 9-30 for a free breakfast at Tennents(which i believe is still there)mr tennent was a forman at the dairy,and Horace being a close friend, put it on to him,that the cafe was for sale.Wonderful,wonderful memories in my life,of kind and friendly people.eightlegger.P.S my cousin David Shaw worked a few years later as a mechanic,at the dairy on Broughton lane.

In the late fifties,early sixties i used to Alexanders on high st,close to Boots,and to Lew Burgins for a haircut.happy days.eightlegger
