Hi Boozy bird, Yes i think it's a great site that will only get better. Leonard Frachetti who i think started it came down to Sheffield to get some information from my mother and sister. I hope he found it useful as my mum of 92 sometimes has difficulty remmembering what she did 2 days ago,yet go back to her childhood and beyond and she is superb.

Yes, Louis, younger brother of Judith and Marie.

Thanks for the website makes interesting reading for me, as my grandparents [dads side] lived on West Bar. Cheers.

I was at De La Salle from 58 ---63 it never scarred me mentally or physically,in fact i am proud to say that i attended.

I worked for Geo Longden AND son AS an apprentice joiner from 1963--1968, i started at the Sheffield Cathedral and then on numerous contracts terminating at their joiners shop at parkwood road Neepsend. The company was never one of the best payers in the building tade but had a workforce of tradesmen seconed to none. My father (rip) was a tower crane driver for many many years and wouldn't have a bad word said against the company, he was so proud to have worked for such a prestigious Sheffield institution. I was one of the founder members of Longdens football team run by Peter Kenrick, i played a good few years and have lots of great memories. I also attended two re-unions which was brilliant to see the old faces again. Sadly lots missing.

I was 60 last year and thought it was the end of the world, after a lot of rib pulling i just got on with it. Today took my two grankids 2-6 down Rivelin nature trail and loved every minute, mud and all !

.Yeah thats me, i went to school with Paddy and sadly went to his funeral. .Great bloke and and came froim a good family, lots of fond memories.

My mum and dad lived there from 1948-- 2004 anginotti is the name sadly dad died last year.
