Hi PlainTalker that'll teach me to proof read postings !! That made me chuckle, yes i do mean Vulcan lol, I also mean the town hall. Thanks very much

yes my dad told me that, she used to take a candle to bed, and unfortunately she burned the house down, she died in 1963 i believe

I'm not sure what number they lived at, i'll try and find out. I was told that Mrs Degney did a bit of everything she was like a midwife and she also "laid out" the dead, a lovely woman always helping others out

Anyone remember Perry's at Woodseats my Uncle and Mum worked there, late fifties, sixties I think, I believe its now a cafe/coffee shop

Anyone remember the Hill Family from Springwater Avenue? My grandad was Harold Hill, he worked at Tinsley Wire, his wife was Mary, they had three kids, Michael, Linda and Ann. Would love to hear from anyone who can remember them Cheers RachyB

Does anyone remember the Milton Arms on Rockingham Street, it was run by my Grandads uncle from around 1900 to 1930's, his name was Arthur Shales Holmes, he apparently had other pubs, but I have no idea which ones they were. Any memories greatly appreciated RachyB

Hi There Would love to hear from anyone related to or can remember the shaw family from Norton, i'm researching my family tree and dates etc can you only take you so far, i'd love to hear peoples memories of them to bring them to life RachyB

Hi everyone My family (Holmes/Barton/Cutts/Shaw) lived in Little London and i'd be really interested in hearing any memories people have, or if they knew any of my relatives. My family i believe lived there 30's or 40's My great grandma was Clara Cutts (nee Barton) she worked at Tyzacks during WW2 and my great grandad was James William Cutts (Jim) he was an air raid warden during the war after he was sent home from the fighting in France after being badly injured by a german hand grenade. Clara's father was Joseph Barton who was a steeplejack and family legend says he had something to do with putting the vulvan staue on top of City Hall but i don't suppose theres a way to sustantiate that claim My dad was born in little london and his godmother was clara degney, who i believe was well known there Thanks RachyB

Hi everyone Anyone remember the Fordie family from around the Attercliffe area? Would love to hear from anyone who does, as i'm researching my family tree My great grandad was James Charles Fordie and he lived at Bessemer Place, he died in 1965 at Winter Street Hospital. I believe the family moved to Sheffield because they were in the army at Hillsborough Barracks Thanks RachyB
