Anyone remember George (paddy) Wheelhouse,he worked at s&j,saville st. for years,but i moved to Canada,we always kept in touch.We went through school together,roller skating in Attercliffe with friends etc.Saw him last year when i was over,andwe both celebrated our 78th birthdays (one week apart) at the beginning of april this year,wonderful memories.clydedale

Anyone remember a lady by the name of Vera Froggatt,who worked on the loading dock at g & g (60s),she took a lot of friendly ribbing from the drivers,and was crazy on Al Martino,and had a standing order at a record shop in rotherham, for his latest releases.( he was always my favourite male singer,still is--my wife and i have met him personally in england and canada)such a gentleman.I was working for Henry Matthews at the time,along with my old mate Alan Powell,and he really liked to tease Vera.Happy memories and nobody got hurt

Hi,there,my dad worked at m.f. as a machine operator i think,his name was jim suter and lived on the hackenthorpe.He worked there late 60s & 70s.

Hi,buddysbuddy&katerina,i worked for harry elam when he first started with harry shaw on the parson x.Later in life i moved to hackenthorpe (carr forge rd),just before the shops were built on birley spa lane,but met him again and we had a long chat,was in and out of his shop many times after that.My sister still lives on the estate.Thanks for the memories.

I was working for riley's,driving an 8 wheeler e.r.f k.v.cab--ARB473B,whenthe guy who was hauling out of rdb for bradshaw & bly gave me the nod that he was leaving,and he put a word in for me.the boss said "come into the yard if you need tarps,ropes, repairs or to pick up your wages,your wife can pick them up or we will deliver them for you.Otherwise don't bother me,i'm a busy man,he said with a laugh.I told my mate les homer where i wanted to load for and he fixed it.great people to work for.6 months later i was in canada,but the memories linger on.clydesdale

Hi,bryan,Suter's shop was a grocery store.Many times my brother and i watched in awe as aunt mary(sometimes aunty kathleen-recently passed away)would cut slices of bacon off larger slabs on the manual meat slicer,or when she took a very large knife and cut chuncks of cheese off the big rolls.We always went back into the living room with a cornet shaped bag of sweets.Saturdays she would give my brother jim and me picture money and a bag of sweets to go to matinee at the Victory.happy days.(just like riley's)lol clydesdale.(sooty)
