Dear Val Hala, I do realise that you may have been VERY busy since you first offered more info and photo's regarding the - Attercliffe Dolphins, I am still interested in The Attercliffe Dolphins as I might find images / info about my Grandmother or Mum. So if you do have the time to sort somethings out for me I'd be VERY grateful if you could email them to me at - [email protected] Yours Sincerely James

I was hoping someone could send me or tell me weather or not they got scared into not doing something for the fear of Obe Dyer coming to get them? It was a fear that went through our family as kids, but I just wanted to know weather or not it was part of Sheffields Myths & Ghost Stories. Any help would gratefully be received. Sincerely James

Dear Val Hala, YES I am still interested in The Attercliffe Dolphins and if you have any photos I'd be VERY grateful if you could email them to me at - [email protected] Yours Sincerely James

Does anyone have any photos of their days at Browne Bayleys ?? - It'd be nice to see how it really was back in the day.

Does anyone remember anything about Lily Agnes & James Arthur ( lucky Jim ?? ) Tacey, that lived on the corner of Alfred their back yard entrance was on Alfred Road.

Hi Ya Pigeon, Are you sure it was Alan Scarborough Norman knocked around with ?? Could it have be Len Scarborough ?? As i have no refferences to a Alan Scarborough in our family and Terry Scarborough's family moved to York many years ago. Sincerely Jamesh2o

Dear Brian, Depending on where abouts Berth lived depends on where she might have been put to rest. There is City Road Cemetary / Burngreave Cemetary / Tinsley Cemetary and ST Lawrence Cemetary ( these are the ones i know of ). Here's an idea if Bertha's daughter has the correct date of death she'd be able to check out the Sheffield Archives or The Sheffield Star Archives too, to be able to see the Obituary & possibly where the funeral was to take place and at what time. I hope this helps! James

GREAT story BillKitson, It's so nice to get a real insight to what life was like on those wonderful Attercliffe streets, when the community was a REAL community. It's such a shame that when the powers that be decided to move everyone out of the ( what they called the slums ), into better housing they didn't think of keeping everyone together rather than scattering them all to the four winds. They also did it again in the 1980s after they decided to do the same to the Manor Estate were we moved to after Attercliffe, now all the Estate was destroyed and left for years being waste land and now having expensive housing association built in their place. Please keep the indepth truthfull stories coming! James

Hi Ya E5006368 ??, Thanks for the memory - My Uncle Johnny ( Jack ) lives in Parsons Cross with his wife Pat. My Dad Roy died in 1994 - Charlie the eldest died in 1990 in Middlewood Hospital and Len & Brian died in the early 1990s. Therefore there's only Marie / Terry & Frank sit living, as for Anne she was Brians twin Sister who died at birth. It sounds as if you had a wonderful life when you were younger, do you by any chance have any old photos of that time and if you wish i can forward onto you Uncle Johnnys ( Jacks ) address & number if you wanted to meet up again to talk about old times. Sincerely James

Hi Ya Sheffield Forum, I am trying to locate information about my family and this information has led me to this information which i need help with - My Grandmother Mary Clarke Sharrock was born in 1910 and i have been told her Father was a Priest called Ethalred ( surname unknown ), her mother was Susannah Sharrock ( Born 1870 ). In the Census i found Susannah was living with a Fred Clarke ( Born 1864 ) due to all the children having the middle name of Clarke i thought that this Fred Clarke was the Father until i recently spoke to my Uncle Frank Scarborough who gave me the updated info and he also gave me a photo of him too. My Grandmothers Siblings were - William J Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1889 ) Bertha Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1894 ) Anna Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1885 ) Lily Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1892 ) ( Died 1895 ) Francis Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1898 ) Alice May Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1900 ) ( Died 1901 ) Walter Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1901 ) ( Died 1901 ) Olive Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1903 ) Luther Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1904 ) Rose Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1906 ) Alice Clarke Sharrock ( Born 1907 ) ( Died 1908 ) Any help the forum can give me will be most welcome!

THANK YOU! For all the information i'll be sure to pass it on.

Does anyone remember my Sister-In-Law Christine Dixon living on Payler Close???

Hi Ya Alemap, Is there any other details about this reunion like the time / venue room etc, as my Aunty Marie & Uncle Stan Marples may like to go too. Sincerely Jamesh2o

Hi Ya Rivelin6, That would normally be GREAT but fat the tender age of 19yrs i moved to the City Of Sin & Wonder London and i have been here now for the last 25yrs. I do go home fairly often (when work permits) and i always return back to my old haunts and in doing so i have gained loads of photographs. I am always in the search for more memories and keep sakes of my happy childhood on the Manor Estate & Attercliffe. I guess one of the reasons why i am doing this is that i am getting older, and i always notice something new like places have disappeared. Just recently on visiting Sheffield seeing the GREAT Castle Market falling into nothingness and finding out that it's also now moving to The Moor (not really what i remember as the center / heart of Sheffield).

THANK YOU - Rivelin, I have placed an order for the book around £13.95 New ( not currently in stock ) but for some reason Used books are going for around £132.00. I have also placed another order for the book - Once Around The Lump. I suppose they'll both be interesting reading. Thanks Again - Jamesh2o ( My Family is The Scarborough's ) They used to live at 42 or 52 Amberley Road.

THANK YOU! Maxspit1976, Regarding the link which is http://www.picturesheffield.com. There are various photos but none really depicting real life and the photos are limited, mainly concentrating on Sheffields Town center. As for Amberley Road there are only a couple of photos looking down towards Amberley Road, from the corner of the street from Attercliffe Common. With luck the image does show our old house directly in the centre in the distance to the right of the passage way leading to the old back yard. But i shall still live in hope to find more REAL photos of the REAL people of Attercliffe. Sincerely Jamesh2o

Also Pigeon do you know the name of my Grandmother Marys father, as i recently was given a photo of him from my Uncle Frank.

Could you text me that link??

I am unsure who Alan Scarborough is and which part of the family he comes from. My Grandmother who married my Grandfather Charles Albert Scarborough, she was first called Mary Clarke Sharrock and her Mother was i believe - Suzanne Sharrock. Are we still related??
