My previous post I.e. dumped donated food, the Congolese family had a brand new electric cooker given to them, four days later it was parcelled up and sent back to Uvira in the Congo to be sold.

I’ve seen donated food delivered  to immigrants only to find it dumped at communal bins the next morning.

During the court case and his ultimate execution, Mrs Dyson whom Charlie lusted after, had  moved to Harrington Road , all the houses have gone but just a short piece of the road runs at the rear of what was The Earl of Arundel and Surrey on Queens Road.

I recently purchased a couple of carving knives, one is marked up Made in Sheffield, the other is marked Sheffield Made, is there a difference?

If they don’t have a makers name they are no doubt imported and etched with your query names.

A useless council.

You dont tell us where you are, Sheffield is on the cusp of both areas so your position in the city is relevent.

 

If the programme content is almost exclusively Hull and East Yorks it does suggest you are getting pictures from Belmont. Easy way to check is see who is hosting BBC Look North this evening.

 

In any case, what would be the issue with the background being the Humber Bridge? Its still within Yorkshire, they have to pick something. 

 

As far as I understand it, the whole of Yorkshire gets the same 6 minutes, and then it splits off into two (West/South Yorks, and the rest of Yorkshire) for the rest of the programme, not sure which of the two areas gets the same presenter for the whole programme.

I live on Gleadless Valley, and 6 minutes is a joke, just not true.

Nope, there are sub-regional variations on both BBC and ITV, you must have your aerial pointing at Belmont. You need to change it to Crosspool or Emley Moor.  Although we have no idea where you is, it may be you are unable to.

Of course we are assuming you are on about Freeview here, if you have Sky/Virgin then your postcode has dictated which version you gets on channel 103.

No free view, so how can the two same presenters broadcast different regional programs at the same time? my aerial is fine, it’s the programme content that’s leaning towards Hull and East Yorkshire, nothing to do with aerials or regions.

I believe it depends in the area you live which version of Calendar you receive by default.  It certainly has become more localised over the years.  The BBC also broadcasts local news programs from Hull and Leeds.

No, what Sheffield see, Leeds etc see in fact all Yorkshire as far as I know

Has anyone else noticed that Calendar is now turning into a Hull local news programme? even the background is of the Humber bridge , I thought that the programme was to cover the whole of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, don’t get me wrong it’s not a very good news programme but come on , Hull !,

Sadly retep is correct there is no listing for the courts only the number of the court, I could try another way if you give me the full name of the person that you are looking for and if you know, their occupation.

Hi can anyone help me with info from Kelly’s for the following :

 

Albert Road 1932, 1939, 1969

Jeffrey Street 1949

Thomas street 1901, 1913

Tuffolds Close 1939, 1945, 1946, 1947

Sylvester Lane 1887

Fitzwilliam Street 1891

 

Help with any of the years would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! 

If you can tell me a name you are looking for on Fitzwilliam Street and Thomas Street I may be able to help, in 1879 Sylvester Lane was a very short lane and the only businesses that were there are:

CLEGG & BARTON SAW MANUFACTURERS

CHARLES BLAKELEY SAW MANUFACTURER

R. A HILL & CO ENGINEERS

THOMAS CHARLESWORTH BUTTON MANUFACTURER

HENRY PATTINSON SHOP KEEPER & COAL DEALER

I have the 1893 directory and the 1901 directory, the ones ive mention and many more but sadly not the others you've mentioned  but they can be downloaded for free from Leicester University web site.

Yeah, he’s another contender, instead of noisy guns I imagine it will be designer handbags !!

How about Matt Lucas ?😎😎

Angela Rayner is just such a person. Do you want her as leader?

No I don’t like her either, it seems as soon as they gain their M.P. status they look down on the working class, the very people they represent, look at Diane Abbot, her episode on a journey drinking a can of beer, when challenged her reply was “ do you know who I am?”, they seem to forget who they actually are, they are our representatives in parliament but they soon forget the poor, the disabled, the pensioners .

I watched the speech by Starmer, no passion at all, it was just like an audition for a part in a play and he read it very badly, his forced smile at the end of it was just that a forced smile. The Labour Party needs a leader who’s actually gone through the same life experience as the working class people that the Labour Party was supposed to protect but they’ve sadly lost their way, Dennis Skinner, Joe Ashton where as passionate as you could get when fighting for the down trodden of this country, I’d have more respect for a miner speaking in the chamber in all his dirt that the well suited leader we have now.

Oklahoma!

Carousel.

Fidler  on the  Roof.

The tenants that moved in were not trouble makers, they were just dirty, dropping litter and empty water bottles on the grassed areas, scrounging in the communal bins for usable stuff to sell, cooking outside over a colander, not a barbecue, washing just draped over veranda railings and left for a week. We looked after our home cleaned the windows every two weeks, fronts always swept and kept clean but these new tenants spilt rotting food outside our front door and NEVER cleaned it up.

That's rather sad. If you don't mind sharing, where did you move to?

We’ve moved to a little bungalow in Derbyshire, we moved because of the terrible sad decline on and around Spotswood Close and the only people to blame is the council for not taking long-standing tenants into consideration when they allocate properties to certain tenants.

Midnight Train are appearing at the Fairway at Birley this evening, so I urge anyone wanting a good night out with brilliant music, make a Bee line to the Fairway, it’s on the tram route. See you there.

it is an outside performance I should add.

If you ever see the band Midnight Train advertised, I urge you to go and see them, I saw them at the Big Tree a few weeks ago and they were great, blues rock etc , they are not a boy band more of an older band playing music because they love it and not for the fame, so go and catch Midnight Train.

Who wants to watch a bloke at a turntable playing music.

My sister Winnie worked there and I believe Stokes bought it and my sister worked there too.

Recommendations welcomed for quotes for replating an EPNS tray, please.  

Thank you in anticipation.

Pop into the Portland Works on Randall Street just off Bramall Lane, there’s a small silver platers working in there.

Keep away, I have just moved from Spotswood after over fifty years in the same property, it’s absolutely terrible now.

Is there a Dennis Edge in your family at all?
