Hi Brian I am Chalky, used to hang around with Ernest Cresswell, last saw your Tony when he was playing darts for the Firth Prak WMC, did'nt you have a sister called jean as well? hope you are all well

You must have known the Cresswells then, I used to live at the Buckenham Pub, are you Tony?

Which magazine for December puts "Utility warehouse" top for best Phone/broadband package,

Hi smith29 your dad must have been Ken is that right? so sorry to hear he has died, I did not go in the East House at the time of the shooting, too young, but did start going in a few years later and got to know Ken, and Tommy Musgrave, Terry Forrest and the rest of the lads quite well, please accept my condolences and please pass them on to your mum.

And goes as far down as Meadow street, if you go from there to Upperthorpe you are rising all the way, so it depends which way you look at it. Buy the way only telling you what the teachers taught us.

Not sure where the heart of the villages were when they were named but if you think where the schools are then Upperthorpe is at the top of Daniel Hill street and Netherthorpe is a lot lower.

Yes you're right Jimmy was a decent dart player, don't know about the darnall league but he played in the others same time as me, 60s/70s

As a young boy I went to both Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe schools, we were taught that the word "thorpe" is an old word for village/town, Upperthorpe being the village on the hill and Netherthorpe being the lower village.

The one you are thinking of is Wyberton Bridge. And your right it is the South forty foot, the little forty foot is a tiny drain running parallel on a back road that leads to Chapel Hill.

Masive one at Newark.

I always thought the Penthouse was on Dixon Lane, the Mojo was at the top of Barnsley road near the junction with Pitsmoor road on way to fir vale.

Mmmmmmmm you 6ft 4" him 5Ft 6" Do you think it may have been an attempted suicide. just a thought lol

Hi In the early 60s I worked on the art college and was told at the time that there used to be a couple of small houses at the brow of the hill opposite side to Omega, all that was there at the time was a kind of very small rock face, anyway i was also told Charles peace lived in one of them, not sure if it's true. I think he was caught whilst living in London, on the run after shooting a policeman.

Recognise big Malc, we used to have season tickets at Hillsborough in the 70s and we used to go fishing down lincs and also played darts in the Furnival. Please tell him Chalky says hello.

Thanks but I don't live in Sheffield, could you not tell me what to try?

Thanks tried all this but still no sound, it looks as if it is trying but not hard enough Ha ha.

Yes I remember it but don't know a lot about it, just a bit of hearsay.

Totally agree

At last justice is seen to be done.

And also working unsocial hours, so not always feel like doing paperwork, the question you quoted was not all that clear to me either, had to read it a few times to get my head round it.

The Arundel Ex Servicemans Club, manor top still have turns every night except Tuesday and Wednesday

I used to go there about the same time, Les Pugh was one of the people who helped run it.

Think you will find the name of the road was Broad Street, Blonk Street was from bottom of Station Approach to the Wicker.

My first school was Nertherthorpe(sheffield) Then Upperthorpe and finished schooling at Burngreave christmas 1961
