my sister delivered newspapers in attercliffe in the late 40s

made a booboo should have said 1944 to 1949

Hi orielanne, I was there from 1944 to 1945 & remember Miss Partridge very well. I thought she had a wicked sense of humour.

Can't believe that you still have to pay to use public toilets in Sheffield

There was another Gosling in my form her name was Doreen, no relation to me,I was never able to contact her as I don't know her married name but I was told that a few years ago she was living in Scarborough

I was in Fry House 1944-1949,but don't think I was outstandingly bright !!!!! If I was nobody mentioned the fact.

Yes madango41 thats us. I don't remember the twins but will ask my sisters if they recall the names. I am June, my sisters are Betty & Anne & we also have a brother, Frank. They were happy days. Nice to hear from you.

Grandad always brought home butterscotch when he went to the Doncaster Races & we loved it, but sorry to say it doesn't taste the same here what ever brand I buy

Can you think of any way to encourage them to come forward. Nice to meet you here eileent

Yes, a few of us are still around but it seems that not many are on the net. I attended there from 1944 to 1949 & so far have only been able to catch up with 1/2 doz. former pupils.

Hi Wain, Can't remember your name - the memory isn't as good as it used to be. My sister Betty was in Miss Ramsden's class & didn't get on with her at all, my teacher was Miss Hoyle. They were good days.

Hi Dinnerlady, We lived at 33 Bodmin St. next to Huntsmans Garden. I went to school there from 1937 to 44 & loved it. Dad used to do a few electrical jobs for Harry. I remember Harry getting us out of bed around 6 a.m. when on holiday & walking with us down to a cafe where we had a mug of hot tea spliced with scotch supplied by Harry. We kids thought it was great but I don't know if mum would have approved if she had known :o

The Hewitts were good friends of ours & occasionally went on holiday with our family to Cleethorpes . I still have a photo of Harry sitting near the paddling pool. Happy days

I remember a Jean Middleton , the family lived in Treeton St 1940s to 50s if that is any help

Huntsmans Gardens,2 teachers I remember are Miss Dickenson & Miss Collins. Way back !!!!!!!!

I remember a Josie Waller in Bodmin St in the 1940s, we used to play together as kids, was this the same family

thanks to everyone who helped me get a map of attercliffe

jignic, thanks for the info,but I have alredy received a copy of the map though I am sure the site will be useful in the future. gosling

Hi Texas, my dad worked at William Jessops at this time, he was an electrician

I'm trying to find a map of Attercliffe in the 1940's -50's but I'm having no success. Can anybody help ?

:thumbsup::thumbsup:Yes remember it well and I recall that I seemed to be the only one in the family that hated tripe, though I did like chitterlings

Hi Chuck, there was another sweet shop nearly opposite Huntsmans Gardens in the 30s to 50s -- Mrs Northfield's & one way up the end of Bodmin St I think that was Birkett's, not sure if I spelt that right, they had a daughter called Joyce

Hi Chuck, Charmleys was at the bottom of Bodmin Street not opposite Huntsmans Gardens

And so say most of us old girls.Pity things have changed

Hi hillsbro, things are returning to normal or should I say close to normal in this area. As we are in our 70s we are very grateful for the help given to us by our neighbours Peter & Lorraine. Lorraine even arrived here on Valentine's Day with a large bunch of flowers to cheer us up Sam the koala could not have been rescued by a more compassionate person than David Tree who is always ready to lend a hand to all creatures great and small, including humans. I just thought I would let you know what kind of person he is.
