Yes now you mention it i do remember one of the sons having something like that,i used to go to gleadless school with stephen redfern who i think was oldest son.

Do you remember the Redferns who lived at corner of seagrave crescent and lister avenue.

Did anyone used to live on seagrave crescent? I was born there in 1947 and lived there untill 1969,my parents were there until 1996.

I have an a-z of Sheffield published in 1988 and bradford street is in that.

Norton ballon barage as it was first known as was never coal aston airfield,coal aston is about 3 miles from norton and that is where coal aston airfield was and i believe still is.

I worked for a parking company for 5 years untill i recently retired,not a local company,d'ont all jump on me!I can tell you that a pcn issued for parking on private property is not worth the paper its printed on,the company will send you a few nasty letters and increase the "fine" but will never take you to court as they have to prove that the people who owned the land suffered a loss because you parked there longer than the time they allow you,and they cannot prove this.

Molly limpetts at woodseats is the best in sheffield,they have a website.

Been to skeggy today,bad news toll at dunham bridge now 36p,last time went to skeggy was 10 years ago,will not leave it that long again,maybe go back in 20 years.

If you look on sheffieldpictures and select gleadless from the drop down menu the last 2 pictures are of the azena,spent many happy hours there,including the beatles show.

Yes but sometimes people on the doorstep intimidate old and vunerable people,who will buy things,or worst still sign up for things they don't want, or need.

Never buy anything on your doorstep,just poiltely say no thank you and quickly shut the door.

Yes you are right john did work there,we had a few good times together.

surname is vickers,john firminger used to call me billy for some strange reason.

Oops! sorry tom,i think you were talking to someone called susan and i got you mixed up.I do remember you,i think you were quite tall and hung around with john firminger.I was a driver on donaster run most of the time before moving into warehouse,but i think you left not long after i started.

Did anyone out there used to work for mcvite cadburys when it was based at gunstones in dronfield.

Sorry i don't remember you i cannot remember what month i started in 65 but it was probably after you left as i do not remember any lady van drivers. Not to worry it was all along time ago.I have bumped into a few people over the years,charlie fenton was a national express coach driver for many years, i saw alan boden a few years ago and he was a van driver.Once met brian rattigan in a cafe,but that was about twenty years ago.Ian Tivendale was working in b+q a couple of years ago.Four years ago i got a job in a cash and carry on corner of shoreham street and matilda street,the sandwich shop next to matilda pub was still there and run by the son of the person who had it in the 60s,Mr.Jarvis.It has since shut down.

I was a van driver to start with and then worked in warehouse,malcolm lindley was in charge of paint dept.and i finished up in charge of wallpaper dept.john firminger was there at the time but i think he left before me.remember most of the people you mentioned,can you remember gees xmas parties for staff and customers,usually at embassy on mansfield road? my name is jack,give me a clue to what your job was at gees.

I used to meet up with friends at night in the doorway of barrons shop,mainly because it had interesting things in the window and each week posted on the door was the top 20 singles and sheet music for that week. If it was your dads shop does that mean you are keith barron?

Maurice passed away 2 years ago and agnes is now in an old peoples home and not to well at moment.

I worked at gees decorators mercants on shoreham street from 1965-1969 did anyone out there work there at this time.

Kath still lives on arbourthorne and has 3 sons,her brother ray lives at gleadless and her sister janet lives at gleadless.janets son is my son in law. I lived on old houses on seagrave crescent but remember some of the names you mentioned.

I was born on seagrave crescent and lived there untill i got married in 1969. Used to go to stans to have my hair cut,the newsagents was plumbs,there was another plumbs at gleadless church,i believe they were related,the other side of the gennel was a grocers called beckets and at other end of block from beckets was Madeleys chemists.My first girlfriend worked there. Elams news was managed by john and barbara hall,but owned in the 60s by harold brook an ex sheffeild united footballer.I was a paper boy here in the early 60s.Barabara hall was still running this business in the mid 90s.The diy shop along from elams was called cliffs,there was also an electrical and music shop on this parade called Barrons which was owned by the father of Keith Barron the actor.Behind the church was a church hall which was built in late 50s and we used to go to youth club and some local groups used to use it to practice,including dave berry and the cruisers. In mid 60s i used to go to the azena to see various groups and was there to see the beatles,bought my ticket at st.aidans for 7s6d,thats 37p in todays money,but i was only earning £3 a week.
