Looking for Garbutt family from Heeley
TimeBandit52 replied to sandy1's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Sad and sorry to hear Steven passed some years ago I didn't know. Steven was a couple of years younger than me but we played together quite a bit in the sixties. I'm from bottom of Valley Rd and did my apprenticeship at Tyzacks . We once made a banmarie for a chap called Garbutt who was a charge hand in another department as he diD pie and peas etc in a local working men's club. But I don't know if he was Stevens dad or uncle. -
Forty eight years ago today Mrs Rose at the Park Hotel Hillsborough gave my wife and I a wedding reception buffet fit for a King. Is the hotel still open and is Mrs Rose still around. We live between Leicester and Coventry now so don't get up much.

Help! Wife and I are the only people to tend our family grave in Abby Lane. Although both born and raised in Sheffield we now live in Hinckley and only get to tend it five or six times a year. However we got up on Sunday the first I'd December with flowers etc. To find a bunch of red roses there which only looked about a week old. The grave holds my grandma Betsy Ann Died 1935 my grandad Joseph died about 1962 and my uncle Douglas killed in about 1940 a war casualty. They were Whitham Sandersons. Also my parents ashes Jack and Elsie Downing can anbody please throw light on where the flowers came from. I think I am the last of this line so would appreciate any info on this one 🙏

TimeBandit52 replied to spudgun's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Brooks paper shop at the bottom of Well Rd. 1 shilling a round and 1/6 for the green uns. Up well to Sturge and Boynton to St Andrews church and back a different way. -
I was informed that they were taken out of service because the law at the time said that passengers were not allowed to travel in an articulated vehicle.

Remember Brian he used to sharpen the cylinder from my lawn mower in exchange for a few welding favours. RIP mate.

Loxley Chapel and burial ground
TimeBandit52 replied to Iain Kelly's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Just got back to Hinckley from a trip to Loxley cemetry to place some flowers on my wife's Grandparents grave. The flowers are back with us as we could not get to the grave as it is impassable with five foot high brambles and weeds. No one can visit loved ones there as you can't get to them. Any one else had a similar experience. ? -
How many Expats would move back to Sheffield
TimeBandit52 replied to sandie's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Anyone who is a driver should avoid Sheffield like the plague. The bus and tram lanes alone are a nightmare. I would not like to come back, I couldn't afford the penalties. -
Sorry. As we used to sing around the camp fire" you will never get to heaven in Ivers car, cause Ivers cat won't go that far". Do you also remember mr Gillmore.
