Walker & Hall building which was at the back of the Peace Garden. They have not improved with the modern designed buildings including Council Allotment Greenhouse! Happy Days! PopT

Travelled all over Europe on my TV175 & We have some great memories. The only fault I had with the scooter was the long saddle. I changed by buying two independent leather saddles complete with Hand Hoops from Armando on Marlborough Avenue in Broomhill. They were a great improvement, the long saddles used to soak up the rain & get into the sponge which wasn't good & you had to share the seat which limited the seat space which depended on how big your passenger was. All in all, we had some great times riding it & still have some great memories. Happy Days! PopT

Our tastes have changed dramatically over the last few years. We are heavily influenced by foreign food by travel & religious influences. A lot of food trade are now using Hallal meat because doesn't limit it's sales also it is cheaper. They also use all sorts of flavouring & are cooking food using different oils & fats to appeal to a wider sales. I noticed travelling through France last year when I found I never smelled any French coffee or fresh baked bread or even the distinct smell of French cigarettes. I know this is not directly to do with taste traditional fish & chips but every country's eating habits are changing and we are all eating many of the same foodstuffs as each other & using the cheapest products for producing cooked food. Sadly most of our younger people have never tasted a lot of our traditional foods & are unlikely to develop the same tastes & memories of food like fish & chips. I feel most traditional foods will become gourmet items in our hotels & restaurants. I guess we cannot live in the past & have to get used to the new internal food trends. I guess I will just have to savour my memories I have of the food I ate & enjoyed as a youngster. Happy Days? PopT

I love to watch the beginning of the film, 'Saturday Night Fever' when John Travolta gets ready to go out. Although I am from an older age it does remind me of the care we took to look our best when going out in our suits. Happy days! PopT

At River Don there was a lady called Myra who used to spend her lunchtimes feeding & checking the health of the cats in all the departments. In a bid to try to cut the numbers of cats I believe she introduced birth pills. She did a very good job, bless her! Happy Days! PopT

Did Ray Stuart live in the Norfolk Park High rised flats at one time? Happy Days! PopT

The most scary & thought provoking film I have ever seen is 'Shoah' by Claude Lanzberg. The images in themselves are not scary but the thoughts you have watching the film chilled me to the bone. Bad Days, that should never be forgotten, although Isis are recreating the same pattern of genocidal behaviour. PopT

Hi Pal215 Can you tell me if Terry Street is on your map or is it just a track up to the Belle View Farmhouse? I would love to see a copy of this map, can it be bought from anywhere? Happy Days! PopT

Hi Me & Pippo thanks for pointing out the Typo mistake must learn to take more care when asking for help. Stephen Terry was my ancestor he was a Farmer, Pub Landlord, Overseer of the Poor, Magistrate etc. etc. Fingers in all sorts of Pies! I am trying to find out more about the farmhouse & Farm. Thanks for your reply

My Ancestors the Terry Family had a farm in the Carbrook area in the 1840-50's. The land was at the Sheffield side of Broughton Lane. The farmhouse was called Belle View and was at the top of Terry Street where the park is now. There is an old house in the park but I think it is later than the Belle View House but I am not sure. Has anyone any information about the Belle View Farmhouse or know of a picture or drawing of it? it does appear on old maps of the period and is mentioned in the book Once Round the Lump. Help appreciated. Happy Days! PopT

Hi Silverman I've been told they did have copies of the softback edition of the book at the Museum Gallery bookstall in the building at the end of the Botanical Covered Garden (opposite end to the Library). It is not the cheapest place to buy but at least you could take a free look to see if it is what you wanted & if you do buy you will not be paying postage. Most of the Cutlery firms did have pattern books but these were all kept by different employees or were sold on to collectors all over the world. Just a thought. Good Luck I do hope it is what you are looking for.

Hi There is a book titled 'British Cutlery' edited by Peter Brown & published in 2003 by Phillip Wilson The book is full of photographs and traces the history of English Cutlery in words & pictures. I cannot state that iot contains every pattern but there is a lot in the book. There are several copies on sale both new & secondhand hardback & softback on Bookfinder UK on the internet. They will most likely have a copy of this in the Local History Library in the Central Librarey in Sheffield, you could give them a ring. It maybe you do not want to buy the book but you could always copy the appropriate pages in the library for your purposes. I hope this helps you. Happy Days1 PopT

I see Samuel Plimsoll put forward as a famous Sheffielder. Although he lived here he was born in London and came to Sheffield as a boy when his father took the post of Customs Officer. I think the most public figure known internationally would be Joe Cocker or Sean Bean.

I have been using the Adobe Photoshop CS3 for my photographs but recently the Adobe Bridge does not work. Can anyone suggest a solution please? PopT

Thanks for loading the info about the fair, Kidorry, it is appreciated. PopT

Kidorry- Thanks for the tip

I need powder cartridges for my new Brother HL-3140CW printer. Is there anywhere local to Sheffield where they do refilled exchange cartridges or a good deal on new ones? Thanking you for any replies

In the corner of the yard was a small two storey white washed building which was a grinding shop and still in use in the late 50's. I was a member of the British Sub Aqua Club and we met there for a time. I would love to know the age of the place as it seemed ancient even then. Happy Days! PopT

Does anyone know why the Old Gate House at the bottom gate of Hillsborough Park has been stood empty all these years? I remember at one time it was occupied by one of the Parkies. I did hear it suffered with damp problems but in this day & age that is no problem to rectify and it is such a good looking house which would make a good home to some family. I was born & bred on the other side of Penistone Road and have always been curious about the place. Happy Days! PopT

Just to add to the confusion. How come Doncaster Airport was named Robin Hood Airport. Strange Methinks! Happy Days! PopT

Hi Lazarus I remember the Passing Cloud cigs but I always thought there was a Cavalier on the packet but I may be wrong. the old rememberer isn't as good as it used to was! happy Days! PopT
