Hi David, im michael Rusby, you and i were at school together,hillsboro and chaucer schools ,we used to play in the park as kids, i remember tony g and david breen.

we always had our yorkshire pud as a starter with gravy then the meyt, taters, and veg after .we also had yorkies with currants sultanas and jam as a pudding when times were hard.Also a square of yorkshire pudding was usually given me with a bit of newspaper wrapped round it and doused in relish while i was playing in our yard.this was always donated by Mrs neald who was our next door neighbour,who used to have their sunday dinner earlier than us.ours was about 2ish when Jimmy was ont radio. Fab days.

hi Roy im sorry the name doesnt seem familiar,where in Burnell did you live,and who we re you mates with ? that may narrow it down for me .did u go to hillsborough primary ? As a young un i was friends with most kids in burnell rd, Cheers roy im Michael Rusby.

Hi yeah my uncle Stan and my cousin Steve live at number 2 Croft road .

Hi PopT, hope ur well,this area was our little manor back in the day,and yes Happy days.

Hi arrodbo, I too was brought up in Burnell road late 50s early 60s,we lived number 11. I too had mates from those roads,thats the main reason for my post on here to see who turns up ! may be we new each other back then !

Anyone remember Owlerton from Bradfield rd,Borough rd Burnell, Burrolee,Broughton roads past to present ?

hi Jaynie was your dad one of the Wall twins ?i remember them when from hillsborough junior school,2 or 3 years older than me so we never hung out together.they always were with a guy called Dave Fairweather and John Evans who they called Pomp'.thats if i have the same people in mind. Sorry to hear about your uncle Jaynie,best wishes.

hi Pop T.i remember Softlys farm on borough road we lived near it in burnell rd,our back garden backed onto borough rd right opposite softlys.my mum used to send me to fetch milk and eggs from mrs.Softlys lovely people i seem to remember.that all got pulled down after we left sheffield along with a lot more of our area,just for a b****y road widening scheme.that area was home to us and all our relations since that area was farm land.wish we'd never left.back in the 60s my little brother used to get so ill with his chest doctor Henderson said to my parents leave Sheffield for somewhere with cleaner air,of course nowadays Sheffield air is not as polluted as back then.sorry PopT i went off on one there ,i just wish we were still there.

hi harvey, the gowers i mentioned was on middlewood rd somewhere but cant remember exactly ?

hi herbiegrass, my mum used to take me with her to 'gowers' to buy loose butter,bacon and such.i remember a chap working there possibly the manager,his name was Mr.Wittam,grey wavy hair,glasses and always a long white grocers coat.this would have been about 1960 ish,i was about seven.ring any bells to anyone ??

I remember the pot pigs and the catapult boy when i was a kid they used to enthrall me.wonder whose got them all now does anyone know i d love to know!

hi jennyren,porters was at the bottom of my road[burnell] that chewing gum machine used to have 'beechnut' which was lovely and minty.porters then sold up to 'ridges' next door was 'buckleys' fruit and veg.i remember seeing buckleys shop blown to kingdom come by a nuclear bomb in the sheffield based film 'Threads'.of course most of that area was demolished,making way for road widening,great shame !

my mum used to help out at auntie ednas salon as did most of the family at some stage in the salons career.my mum almost gave birth to me in that shop whilst she was working there ,that was 1953.no wonder i am in that profession myself.
