Pfft I take it you never saw Ken Dodd, once saw him at Scarborough, show started at 7.00 pm, we left the Theatre at 12.30am.

Can I propose Moss Valley fine meats, their sausages are fantastic.

It is on the Corner of Derbyshire lane and Norton Lees road, it was filmed over a couple of months last summer.

I was walking the dog in the park yesterday evening and was chatting to the two security guards who were patrolling around the animal farm, they told me they were there until 6.00am today. However welcome it's a sad state of affairs when we need security guards in Graves Park.

I've signed, good luck with the campaign, 👍

When Heeley bridge was rebuilt in the year 2000, it was rebuilt (on the cheap?) with only 2 lanes of traffic, there are three over head gantrys, (which are still there) two near Ponsfords before the bridge and one just after the bridge, these haven't been used in years.

H2O Bathrooms are moving there.

Where abouts did Kestrels play ?

It's not going to be a pub.

Cough Cough

It's going to be a bathroom showroom, H2O bathroom solutions are moving there.

Do you mean the old Tesco ?

It's probably been mentioned before but the Manchester Airport eastern link road is open, it runs from the A6 at High lane straight through to the airport and at that time in the morning it's the quickest route.

Drivers in Sheffield don't use bus lanes when they are entitled to, there is a bus lane from near the Homebase on Chesterfield road all the way down to Heeley bridge that only operates for 4 1/2 hours a day Mon-Fri, outside of these hours no one hardly drives in it.

I quite like the one just past Fox house on the road to Hathersage on the A6187

Sheffield ?...it's oreyt tha knows.

You can get email notification on The trainline.com when advanced fares are on sale. Simple enoughto register and sign up.

I went to Norton County (Now Mundella School) junior school on Derbyshire lane. The four houses were Graves (Yellow), Chantrey (Blue), Ruskin (Green), and Mundella (Red).

Wash your mouth out...:hihi:how dare you compare Woodseats with Heeley

These local stations closed 50 years ago, circumstances have changed since then, no one is suggesting that Heeley, Beauchief, Millhouses and Ecclesall are reinstated as they were previously. To suggest that the current areas aren't populated is IMHO wrong. We have two very congested routes in to Sheffield from the South (A61 & A621) a tram, tram/train extension would be an ideal alternative. However we need a council/ government that is willing to push this forward.

Sorry Annie, I disagree, the previous demand for the Dore and Totley,Millhouses, Heeley and Abbeydale stations might have been poor...but these stations were closed over 50 years ago, all closed like many nationwide because of the Beeching Cuts. The demand for an alternative method of transport to the already congested roads ( A61,A621) in to the city centre from the South of Sheffield is far greater than before. Tram Train would be ideal for this and would improve transport links from the South of the City...sadly I can't see this happening not with the Council we have at present. Other Cities have expanded their tram network, unfortunately we look like getting rid of ours.

My late father used to live on Alderson Place off Bramall Lane, he used to tell me about what he called a " Drinks Shop " which sold Sarsaparilla and other soft drinks. I remember him saying it was either on Bennett Street and or London Road, ( I wish I had paid more attention to him when he was alive). My father played football in the 1940's for a junior team called Highfield Amateurs of which the owner of the Drinks shop was the manager, they used to meet up at this shop prior to playing. I have a team picture of them from 1942 ish, taken in front of the pavilion at Bramall Lane. I'd be interested if anyone could help with any info. Cheers Jack

I agree £14m for Assombalonga is ridiculous, however players are only worth what clubs are prepared to pay for them. The problem is weekly wages which players are demanding, I dread to think what the wage bill is at SWFC. For once we have a chairman who is happy to put his hand in his pocket.

Well done Jess,thoroughly deserved.

Some great memories on here thank you, My own are from the 34 route from Graves Park. My first year as an apprentice was spent at the EITB on Petre Street, the 34 was ideal as it meant not having to change buses in town. I used to catch the bus at the stop near the Prince of Wales pub on Derbyshire Lane with my late father, front seat on the top deck was our chosen seat (so Dad could have a smoke) I remember the route well, the right turn from Derbyshire Lane on to Norton Lees Lane, the route through the Hollythorpe estate, the bus roof catching the overhanging branches from the trees. The tight turns seemed much better than any fairground ride. Then there is the terminus at Graves Park, the bus stop just before the bend at Hemsworth road which was alighting only. The bus stop long since gone, but the strip of tarmac is still there on the pavement. Also still there on the bend of Hemsworth road/Derbyshire lane is the green pole which used to have a clock fixed to the top. The clock is no longer there but the bracket which held it is still there, next time anyone drives past have a look. The 34 bus has some happy memories for me.
