we lived on the Oval at the top was nice the

my aunt Lily lived on this street half way down on the right, she had daughter Annette{Ann} and Cheryl. lost touch many many years ago but spent a lot of time up there when young

I only remember a few names Mr Morris, Miss Hornsea, Mrs Havenhand

there was also PCL Pneumatic Components Ltd. which is now the fire station and car park

Some of those teachers came from Pomona street school when Greystones became a Secondary Modern, I went to Pomona so was taught by a lot of those teachers which made going up to Greystones a lot easier

what year were you at Greystones? I was there 58-62

the bath opposite the Glossop road baths is still open but is a bit of a real ale pub it still has the same interior, all wood and tiles.

the only ones left out of your list are the New Inn, The Devonshire, The Earl Grey and The Hanover Hotel which is the only one still open and trading as a pub, I was born in the area but I am at a loss at some of the names you have mentioned they don't seem at all familiar to the area

I remember both these pubs and some great nights in both, as I was under age it was the place to go as the police weren't as strict as in Sheffield.

Does any know these names they would be great aunts, uncles, grandfathers and great grandmothers, Jack, Robert( Bob), David, Lily, Annette, William(Bill)and Alan, Smith was the family name

I also went to these schools in the late 50s- early 60s and remember all these teachers including mr Murry, mr Hughes and Mrs Havenhand. My name then was Sheila Smith

that is the same David my brother ---------- Post added 14-08-2017 at 23:05 ---------- I remember you and your brother although you are a year or so older than me, you used to go to the Pomona Street youth club. I had quite a few friends that lived near the pub who also went to Greystones long lost touch though it would be nice to here from them. My name then was Sheila Smith

I've just reread this post about the church, walked past it a few weeks ago it now flats shame but at least it has been renovated and not falling into ruin

wasn't there some kind of frozen food place there for a while a bit like an early Iceland, I shopped there a couple of times

I used to know a Stuart Savage many years ago his family lived Iseem to remember lived near the old Viners factory

I seem to remember that the Truro was on the corner opposite The Royal Standard and the Montgomery was on the next corner on the same side of the road

Could anyone tell me the date The Hanover was opened please. I know that it is a long time since any posts have been made regarding this pub but I would like to say that it is under new management and is back to the friendly back street pub it deserves to be

I had a cousin who lived in one of these her maiden name was Barbara Smith I believe they were the ones on Mansfield Road. If anyone ha any info on her I would appreciate it.

hi mick didn't know you worked at Rabones that is if you are the same Mick from P.C.L. I worked there on 3 different occasions but the last time I was the sprayer on the top floor they called it Holesaws. I remember quite a few of the people mentioned in previous posts., both my mother Betty and 2 of my daughters worked there as well.

You don't say how long ago they worked there, my dad worked at both these pits many many years ago , he was what was called a ripper and was buried 2 or 3 times but was lucky he was never badly injured. His name was Bill (collier) Smith he also worked at Nunnery pit

Denise was a friend of mine in our early teens I also had a good friend called Jennifer Johnson who lived at the end of boston street, I wonder if anyone knows what happened to her

your request uplifted me for a minite as my uncle had that name but he married an Annette who's surname was also smith, good luck with your search

I was sad to hear that Richard Mirfin had died, if this is true could someone please confirm this

Mirfins was on Spooner Road, I was engaged to Richard in my teens, he worked for father most of the time I knew him. If he has passed away it is very sad as he would only be in his early to middle 70s now, I have a feeling that he did have a fall out with his dad about this time but went back to work with his dad, I can't remember who he went to work for

there was also a Vine pub near the top of Summerfield st/ Cemetery rd, I think it maybe flats now ---------- Post added 10-06-2016 at 23:32 ---------- I know what you mean, I was born on Ecclesall road opposite the Wards brewery now the whole area has gone
