Hi Tara Try a visit to Sheffield Local Studies Library itself, if I remember correctly the online Picturesheffield.com database only holds 10,000 images, but if you look at the database in the library you have access to about three times more images.

Fat or thinner version?

I'll go for the Glynis Barber twins - the best things to come out of Africa since Kunta Kinte.

Which one of the George Clooney twins do you want pattricia, ref.4 or ref.89

Sausage rolls, bread and butter, tea, and Guinness - another can please.

Hi Gangan I can see the benefit of having Carol Thatcher next door if you lived in a semi - you wouldn't be woken up in the middle of the night by the noise of the toilet flushing!

No! it left her frustrated! She had pulled the chain repeatedly expecting the butler to appear but nothing! Might I suggest that her next holiday destination should be a small quaint little place off the A387 :hihi: Seriously, I admire the jovial way she handled the situation.

Hi tara Not specifically relating to back-to-back houses in the Wincobank area, but this is a plan of typical Sheffield back-to-back houses which you might find interesting.

Thanks for the photos, they are appreciated as some are of the area off Alderson Road in Sheffield where I grew up. This photo you have correctly labelled Thorpe Road. The corner shop in the picture is No.76 Thorp Road, known as Crossley's shop during the 1960s, and was located at the junction of Thorp Road and Hill Street. It was owned at that time by an old couple, and was not the cleanest of shops even in those days. My father was buying something in there one day when a rat ran along the top of the counter. Why we used to use that shop when there was a corner shop on most corners at that time I don't know.

My 2nd Great Grandfather's sister married Luigi QUAGLIENI - owner of Quaglieni's Circus Royal, which performed in Sheffield at the time of the 1871 Census. Also my wife is descended from Charles Wesley PAYNE, a member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1896. He later appeared in a group called 'The Black Troubadours.' The group performed under various other names over the years: 'Louisiana Troubadours', 'Black-Udel Quartet', 'Louisiana Trio', to name a few. They performed in Sheffield in February 1902 as 'Coloured Meisters',

We just need to morph into Hobbits - more space for everyone.

He WAS Free :hihi:

Two SILVERskin onions?

What an avatar!!!..... brings tears to my eyes

Hi Julado I see you have a new avatar. I'm a little disappointed - after this thread, something with a ONION theme would have been better - IMO :hihi:

Hi Basil My avatar winks - would it have originated from the Batemore estate do you think?

I agree with you Minesadouble. I lived on the valley for 9 years, and the John o'Gaunt was the only pub up there that I had the pleasure of NOT going in.

Whatever happened to the diclaimer at the end of films etc... “Any reference to persons or events is purely coincidental...blah, blah, blah”
