Parents and sisters in Cambridge ontario and i am 3 hours away near Lindsay Ontario . Lived on manor estates, Fretson rd and then Winn Gardens before coming to Canada in 1965.

My dad (who is 84 this year) tell us thet he lived with the gypsies in Sheffield when he was younger.

How about Sheffield Stampeders, Tiger cats. Canadian teams but a catchy names

Hi all.. born on manor (Fretson Rd 1953). Live in Ontario Canada now . Parents and sisters are in Cambridge Ontario, and i live in the country not far from Lindsay Ontario. Mike

Anyone remember the Slaters of 121 Frestson road, Iris, Dennis were the parents and Linda, Michael ,Maureen were the kids in the late 50's early 60's? Email me i would be glad to here from you. email is slater@i-zoom.net

As a youngster i remember what looked like bomb shelters not far from Pitworth road school. There were a couple above ground bunkers and a few underground as i recall, with tunnels running around. Anyone else remember them? Mike Slater

Was born in Sheffield and left when i was 12. Now live in Canada and my family says its the best thing we could have done. Live in a city called Canbridge which 60 miles from Tornto and even closer to Hamilton. Anyone want to chat send me an email. Oh by the way left Sheffield in 1965. Bye

Can anyone tell me the names of the guys on the team that won the FA cup last for Wednesday. My dad tries to name them and he knows most of them so i would like to get a complete list of the players from that team. I live in Canada so its not easy getting info on this topic........thanks in advance. ps ..lived in Sheffield until August 1965. Mike:thumbsup:

Does anyone know of Stephanie Ellison who lived on Fretson Road in the mid 60's. If so let me know will you . Thanks:thumbsup:

I went to Pipworth road school aprrox 1962. Then went to Hillsborough until 1965 then Imigrated to Canada where i am today. Used to live on Fretson road and then moved to Winn Gardens. Love to hear from any one from either of those two areas to find out how things have changed.Thanks. Mike Slater:thumbsup:

It was so nice to hear from you this morning while i am at work. The question you have in regards to that bridge over the river Don. all i remember was that there was no bridge there when i was there in 1965, i sppoke with myn Dad and he said he does not remember one there and it could have been some kind of stucture for a water wheel even.I remeber playing down at the rivwer Don as a kid swinging on a rope from a tree over the river and back again right beside where your talking about. Across the river was Bachelors factory i think it was a cannery or something that made peas or beans or something, all i know was it had a smelly odour.LOL. My Dad was the club secretary for the social club there from approx. 1962 to 1965 when we left to come to Canada. We used to go on trips to the seaside on a bus with the social club back then don't know if that still happens or not.? The road at the top of the hill was called middlewood road as i remember and had a pub at the top think it was called the Bailywood or something like that. I played for the football team that the social club organized , i think we had Orange and Black shirts. Anyway thanks for writing back to me love to hear of my roots. Mike Slater ps : my dads name is Dennis and my Mom's Iris

Hi i used to live in the Win estates until 1965 when i moved to Canada with my Mom and Dad. I lived at 123 Wingardens and 231 Wingardens. I was 12 years old when my family imigrated to Canada and have fond memories of playing football and pushing my bike up that bloody big hill. Probably not as big as i seem to remember. I Was surfing this site and could not help but read about some of the places i remember.........like Hillsborough where i went to school. I am 50 years old now and my memories of my life in Sheffield are ones i will treasure for ever. Thanks for letting me share this with you maybe someday i will bring my wife and kids to see the things i remember . Well i have gone on enough. Thanks for the walk back in time .
