  1. Hi Saintsall, Yeah those pics are Great, I think the houses that you are pointing out to me in you're pics are entitled "Smithies field looking down towards Petre st from Grimesthorpe Rd" ? Well the houses I was trying to pinpoint were further along to the left of that Pic ! The other side of the Pigeon Lofts that were there up to the mid 80's ! I'm sure there was a small driveway that went round the front of them !
  2. Yeah i also seem to remember 2 Big Houses at the Top of Smiths Field ? I'm talking about 60's Early 70's now, but they must have been almost bang on the border ? I'm sure a Girl in my class at Burngreave school lived in one of those houses for a short time ? Just can't think of her name tho
  3. Yes Stpeter well i'm gonna stick with you're Ordnance Survey map as being "Gospel" to the Border But yeah i was always brought up to believe that the Border was in the middle of Smiths Field.
  4. Hi Stpetre, I'm hoping that by "The DEMARCATION between Pitsmoor and Grimesthorpe was/is Garter St" you mean the dividing line between Pitsmoor and Grimesthorpe ? As i was born and lived at 266 Petre Street till i was 13, and was always a PITSMOOR lad But i'm sure i read on a Post somewhere in the 47 pages on this Thread, that someone stated the dividing line was Carwood Road
  5. Yes Ray Wild lived opposite me on Petre Street i lived at 266, and he did know Gary "Mitch" Mitchell as all use Blades do I seem to think that Glyn or Glen Briddock was a relation to Mitch ? Cousin or Summat.
  6. Thanks for all the advice and Recommendations, and i think that Simon,s issue might well be the cause of the problem at my daughters house Cavity wall insulation has been in a few years now, and i don't know if it's regular practice but even the Air vents around the house have been filled in by whoever did it at the time Loft insulation was also done and they put loads of Layers of the insulation in, and it's about 4 feet thick in parts of the loft
  7. I bought some Hammonds Chop sauce in Morrisons at Catcliffe this morning
  8. Anyone know of a Reliable Damp and Condensation expert to hopefully Inspect, diagnose and Sort the problem of a 3 bed semi property in S12 Cheers
  9. Went past yesterday and its the undercover Car Park for the now Closed Grosvenor Hotel. Not sure about the Proceeds though ??
  10. The Gypsy Queen at Beighton are showing the Match Matey
  11. Yes Matey i guess by your'e username that you left in 1974 ? I left in 1976 and i well remember the days of playing footie in the school yard wearing Platform shoes and Oxford Bags
  12. Yeah cheers for the Tips Guys, but we might well try Spiders Formula and give it a go ourselves
  13. Anyone got any advice on who can Repair "If its Possible" a Chipped Plastercast fireplace ? Its Actually the Hearth part that has had a couple of Chunks knocked out on the edge by a falling Mirror above the Fireplace !!
  14. Jamp, I Have a similar problem, I recently sold my house and need to locate the "House Deeds" that were held by the Law Firm Ashington Denton of Norfolk Row ! Not knowing to me they closed down for whatever reason in 2007. So i have contacted the Intervention Archives who hold files from Solicitors that have closed down. It does seem to be very slow process with them though as it must have been 2 to 3 weeks before they even acknowledged my E Mail. There contact details are as follows. interventionarchivefile@sra.org.uk Tel 02476 339251 Unit A Colonnade Point, Prologis Park, Coventry CV6 4BU
