Yep we saw it too at hillsboroughe

Does anyone know what is happening just off Holywell road police tape and Holywell road closed to traffic

when this happened to me I was so fed up. then a neighbor phoned the environmental health. They shifted it PDQ. Just threaten them say the environmental health are now involved and give them 24hours to shift it or you will get a skip to put their skip in if they don't move it.

Yes Tony it is a good cause to get behind. A lot of people have said that they can't get down to the market to sign the petition so I have set up an online petition for them. Click the link below to contribute to the cause, Peppermint http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/saveportlandworks Ps. yes Tony you might be bias but I like your photgraphs :-)

I would like to bring Portland Works to people’s attention. Portland works on Randall Street Sheffield is a Grade2 listed building of which if the owner gets his way will be redeveloped into 77 flats. As it is a listed building nothing can be done to the outside of the building but the inside can be red eloped. What is the problem I hear you ask? What no one is saying is that the inside of Portland works is home to apron 16 little workshops in which there are little mesters workshops. These workshops are still running. Pictures of Sheffield old and new face book group have at the moment a display in the castle market. They have a wall dedicated to the workshop in Portland works and a petition to stop the redevelopment going ahead. If these workshops go, so will part of Sheffield’s history. I am appealing to as many people as I can to call into the castle market and look at the Portland works display and sign the petition. Peppermint

it started on the 25th of Jan and will be there for 10 weeks over the 10 weeks some of the pictures will be changed so new images will be put up. So if you go more than once you will probably see more pics. Not when first lot will be changed. I will post on here when they change them.

Has anyone been down to the Castle market to see the display? It has a good insight to all the changes that sheffield has gone through and also pictures of things like the floods and other major events.

Hi I am trying to contact Alan Kilby for the school I work at. I have looked on the net to see if I could find an email address for him or a typetalk number or even a text number and came up with a total blank. I work with deaf children and we are doing a topic on famous deaf people and he is one of the people picked as he does come from Sheffield, If there is anyone out there that can help either reply to the forum or private message me please. Heres Hoping Peppermint

Mary Key Sorry didnt get back to you, Will let mary know we have found your mum and take it from there. She wanted to see if your mum was still around. Hope to pm you soon.

my mate Bob said he hung around with the debonaires (not sure of spelling) he work with chaz (charlie) at the initial laundery round 1960. and used to go out with them about 5 days a week to their concerts for free. Also the forresters group. he met his wife through one of them. He is still classed as one of the family to mick danks his mum was like a second mum to him(god rest her soul)(of the forresters) he and geoff baily went on after to be known as mike and geoff stuart.

Yes mate of mine is sat next to me, he also saw laurel and hardy there (1953 ish) He says that he saw a pantomime Babes in the wood (with lorrie london ) a pop star of that era) He also went to see David whitfield, joseph locke and missed out on ken dodd because he was ill.

I don't have much to go on but here goes Shirley pierpoint lived on the wyborn estate. In 1959 she was a bridesmaid to Audrey Hibberd and Harry Key at St Jhns church on 17/10/59. Would be great if anyone can help peppermint:help:

Spoke too soon was going to see if could arrange a meeting during the school hols, that would have been a good time but am on crutches now lol after trying a flying lesson in the classroom. suspected fractured kneecap. oh well shall have to wait for next hols.

Hi, Am back again, I have recovered. Missed the chats and all the posts. We must do something about the cottam/fisher get together. Uncle John has started researching my dads side of the family (Hardman). He keeps unearthing lots of long lost fishers. Lol always thought our family was big but didn't realise how big. Hows ya mum and dad and all the clan? remember to say hi to them for me.

Now come on cycleracer, what have I told you about talking about SHE who is to be feared, still cringe at the sight and sound of her name. Don't think I will ever forget her. Mr Bezant was one of my fave teachers. Names I remember Janet Harkness (she went to live in OZ) the Robinsons, The Longleys, Stensons, Sharps, Dobsons, comleys, Hills, Moffats Hobsons, copsons, Mcdonalds, Taylors, Burgins and of course you there are more but wont go on LOL On the subject of the outside toilet, we were told the 4th one was haunted by a Mr Jenkinson wondered who started that but I agree they were horrid

Don't listen to him Mr Fish, your message is right. Nay, lad, there's all those nice people! Besides, we've got lots of looking up in old church registers and so on, tracing our family. Can't let all those nice people down, especially as they might help you search them registers you keep your date in 2007 I know you will have a great time

I think the funniest sign I ever saw was on the back window of a Landrover in Bridlington. It simply said "Support your local air sea rescue GET LOST. Well it got my attention!!!!!

I have passed this info on to my hubby, sorry to hear that he is o longer with us. hubby remembers some of the crackpot things he did. Seems he will always be remembered this way.

Ok my hubby says that the boy in blue jumper sat down at the front is David Payne,(he says does anyone remember the sermons his dad used to give from the doorstep??) he heard a rumour about david setting fire to his arse when a box of bangers went off in his back pocket. He also remembers the Lees. Reading this threat has brought back many memories for him.
