I'm just reading Michael Redgrave's biography and came across the fact that as a young child, the future actor lived in Sheffield. But does anyone know where?

The book says that his mum Daisy took him to live with her 'sister' May, now married and living in Sheffield. This seems to be for about a year until he was 15 months old. He spent further periods of time with his Aunt May during his childhood years.

I don't have much information but does anybody else know whereabouts in Sheffield.

I'm interested in the research because of two films that he subsequently appeared in which are featured on my website http://www.chartersandcaldicott.co.uk

He was born in Bristol but you mention somebodys Sister, did you mean his sister or his Mothers...

His only living Sister is Vanessa who does not live in Sheffield, his Mothers sister would be very long gone...I'm confused..

The nearest link to him living in Sheffield is that his Aunt Dolly Elsworthy may have lived in Sheffield and she was the Sister of Roy Elsworthy who was Michael Redgraves Father.

Please don't put poison down! We adopted a hedgehog who had eaten some, he survived around a month but then got worse after we took him to the pdsa.

 

I know it's nasty but in some cases, it's best to shoot them and feed them to the foxes.

I'd shoot the Cats that keep soiling my flower bed....

Definitely drop hammers. Used to be my night time lullaby when I was a kid growing up in Pitsmoor!

Don't forget the lunchtime siren's heard in Pitsmoor in the 60s to

Been great to read this thread again, It got me thinking that you see a modern act today and there forgetable after plus you only see them at the Arena now which is also forgetable.

All the bands mentioned on here are known to us 60s pop fans but most aren't big names....I was to young to see the Esquire and really feel I've missed out on some great concerts..The bonus to that though if I had I would be over 65 now, there is a good side afterall.

Indeed he did.

In fact, I remember seeing the wall poster in the club coffee bar advertising the gig, and Mr.Hendrix was that 'unknown' at the time, it did actually use the name 'Jimmy'.

It must've been his early days in the UK, but followed his (first?) TV appearance on 'Ready Steady Go' playing 'Hey Joe'.

God...that was some eye-opener!

Hendrix the God of Rock...Joplin the Godess of Rock all derserve there names legends....My mate played on the same bill as Edwin Starr ...Did'nt the Stones and Beatles play there to..Would love to get a copy of the book about the MoJo

I think the price of a new cage, depending on size £30/£60 may be cheaper than having an old one "dipped".

This is a top of the range cage it cost me £500 ...so still wanna dip it

The Masters reminded me a tad of the Olympics. If you recall, Yorkshire proudly boasted that its athletes would - on their own - have been twelfth in the medal table. Well, Sheffield (or at least its 'metropolitan borough') featured three of the top seven players of the tournament, more than any other entire country on earth.

 

Remarkable. And yet this city still doesn't have the balls to call itself the City of Golf, let alone the City of Sport.

Yes I agree but Sheffield should have a world class golf course as we know all the best local golfer's traiin at Carlton-In-Lindrick

We should be shouting this from the rooftops as a city!!

What about Nazeem..?

But on the subject of Danny Willett what a massive victory for the 29 year old...Hope he remains in Rotherham but somehow I can't see it

I have a dog cage that fits in a car and would like it brought up like new...its metal and silver but has been kept in the shed.

I was thinking about dipping but its not a subject im familiar with.

Who does it please

So where are they actually tipping ?

Has anyone rode this today (March 20th) I did and it was tough..blessed with sunshine and dry weather it was a great ride..

Think this should be held twice a year lets say September, a good hard classic hilly..

I can see me doing a day trip to Watergate Bay when I retire

 

I hope the chippy in St Columb is still there - it was ace 50 years ago.

If it is then great but don't expect to get fish and chips for a shilling

has anyone else been asked for £1 so she can buy some chips near tesco norwood area. ? blondish hair this week .?

Have been asked by a middle aged bloke there but not a blonde woman...Will keep an eye out for her..Is she giving a sob story or just asking for money ?

When the cyclists have a number plate (or some form of identification), pay road tax and have insurance I am certain the motorist would then afford them the whole of the road up to the white line.

Yawn.....heard it all before

A friend of mine is thinking of giving is flat up and living in his motor home on his mates firm he works fulltime No one works in his block and drinking all night cant get any sleep I said you freeze in winter would you agree with me

I don't thimk he would be alone living permanently in a motor home, I would guess it's no different than living in a narrow boat, just make sure you have a good supply of gas for the heater

Its an event run by Sheff-rec though the distruption is minimal.

The whole event is meant to last about 90 minutes which includes Hagg Hill, Lodge Lane, Blake Street and one in the Mayfield Valley.

The event starts and finishes at the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow

No sympathy at all,, bad company out of a massive bad bunch...There all as bad

But there isn't a junction where we are speaking of! Those cars coming uphill have right of way

News to me that going up Hagg Hill is a right of way at the top but I usually go up in the dark so ain't noticed the signs..However its the worse place to have to stop on that junction mine being a small car it has trouble setting off on that steep right turn.

Though now I realise its a right of way it's still a dodgy junction and risky

Watched all 4 series but missed series 5 which I recieved on DVD today

We call him Tony Blackbum. Sadly we won't hear on on POTP for a while. What did you think to Mark Goodier as stand in?

Thought Mark did a great job, he also has one of the best radio voices on the wireless along with Russell Davies

At the risk of derailing the thread, cyclists have as much right to use the roads as anyone else. They're just roads, not hallowed ground.

 

I commute by bike every weekday. So much better than being sat in a car. I ride in the peaks every Sunday morning, and weekday evenings when the days get longer. I have done for many years, met many friends through training, racing and general riding. I couldn't imagine not being a cyclist.

I'm the same, I can't function without cycling I just luv being fit, active and riding alone or with a group. I have a set regime of 26 miles a day in Bradfield covering 8 fantastic climbs, its tough but I always feel the benefit

I cycle down Rowell Lane most days from Loxley Road and I can see the on-coming traffic very clearly as it is higher ground however the stop lines are on the other side from Stannington/Storrs so they should stop and the frequently don't.

Fortunatly I can see them set off so I'm aware of them coming but as I never come from there direction I don't know what view of me they have.

With all the Hooha of Keeping up with the Khan's as I travel through Page Hall which I do regular I have noticed a lot of driver's rubber necking when they should be concentrating on the road.

Its obvious that there staking out landmarks from the serie's, there could be money to be made here

Most of my relatives worked there in the 70s in the W Department, used to frequent the Albion at lunch

I was reading that around 40.000 peole in the UK die through air pollution mainly caused by the influx of log burners.

It was stated that they have become trendy in today's society which I dis-agree people have bought them because the robbing fuel companies drove many into an alternative because gas and electric is so over priced.

Don't blame the comsumer's of these stove's blame the big 5 fuel companies
