  1. Try the Little Mesters at Kelham Island Museum. They've done some similar work for a re-enactment group I know of.
  2. I can't get any further down Burngreave Road than this :- https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3963851,-1.4638927,3a,75y,150.1h,86.62t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1su8TgKTvQhWmSH8lHNXn24w!2e0 nor any further up than this :- https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3947467,-1.4620524,3a,75y,319.77h,98.99t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sNckNcFp6TueKFc3cq5FYwg!2e0 Thanks to all for your interest. It seems most unusual that it works OK for some and not for others
  3. Does anyone know why Burngreave Road, between Melrose Road and Gower Street, does not have street view on Google Maps. I often use this when I have bought anything, on here or e-bay, so that I can drive straight to the address I'm after instead of kerb crawling
  4. It's possible that you weren't sneaky enough and the note contained nothing but rubbish just to make you think she'd done the right thing
  5. ring C & N Garage Services and ask for Neil Top job. Bottom price. They're on Blast Lane. Not too far from Bramall Lane 2700966 or 07766 742922 Lol (yes it's my name not a comment)
  6. "SATAN'S GROTTO IN THE MOOR MARKET HALLOWEEN GAMES CHILDREN'S CHARACTERS CRAFT ACTIVITIES SPIDER HUNT TRAIL" The above is from the online map. There was very little happening actually in the market. All we saw was a stall doing supposedly scary vegetable carving. Could be called a craft activity I suppose. Went back down again on Sunday especially to see "Titan". Asked a few people if we were in the right place (between Eyre Street and Matilda Street) but nobody could give us a definite answer. We got a lot of "that's what it says on the map)s but after Saturday's performance we tended not to believe the map. We hung around 'til 3:30 at which point we'd had enough and went home. Would we go again next year? Probably not. It cannot be compared to Fright Night.

  9. An eyewitness said the kitten had been thrown over a fence and down a drop of approximately 12 metres on to concrete below There are no properties in Fir Vale with a drop of almost 40 feet from the rear garden. Not a very accurate eye witness.
  10. It's a charity not a dumpit site which is where VHS tapes belong
  11. Quote: Originally Posted by JFKvsNixon View Post Weren't the water suppliers delivering the water direct to the actual water stations to be given via cups? I honestly don't know mate. If that is the case though; maybe it's not the best way to go about it?! from BBC NEWS:- Margaret Lilley, chair of the race organisers, said: "We had a problem with the supply of water. "The company we had asked to supply BOWSERS for the route did not arrive this morning Bowsers to me are industrial containers usually seen on building sites or being used where there are drought conditions or water main bursts. Using them as water stations in a long distance race could have been a new, possibly cheaper, venture for the organisers. Nowhere is bottled water mentioned
  12. Quote from The Star about an anti fracking campaign group:- According to campaigners, "Dart are proposing to drain water from the coal seam at Daneshill by removing fluid" Is there any other way?
  13. Can we not get all these "Star" items in one place. Would be as good as reading the "Twikker"
  14. Michael Howley, 72, of Highgrove, Messingham, Scunthorpe, who is already behind bars for washing dirty cash, was found guilty of money laundering.
  15. Does anybody remember Bill Anderton from the bottom of Fitzalan Street. Six court one. He had a greengrocery round with a horse and cart. I believe he started out by selling fish from a box which he carried on his head. I never saw this but it didn't stop me and lots of other urchins from chanting "Billy Anderton sells fish Three aif pence a dish Don't buy it don't buy it It stinks when you fry it". Of course we didn't let him hear us. I didn't want the double smack. One from him and another from mi Dad
  16. some interesting shots on PICTURE SHEFFIELD including the original wooden structure :- http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s07612&prevUrl= and the replacement steel footbridge :- http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s07611&prevUrl= FROM WIKIPEDIA :-Abyssinia Bridge[edit] This bridge carries the A6102 Sheffield Outer Ring Road dual carriageway (Hawke Street / Jansen Street) over the River Don. The bridge got its name from the 1868 invasion of Abyssinia by British troops.[77] The first Abyssinia Bridge was built of wood in 1868. It was later replaced by a metal bridge which remained the footpath link between Attercliffe and Brightside until Hawke Street and Jansen Street were joined by a road bridge in 1908. There is some debate about whether the original wooden Abyssinia Bridge crossed the river at the same place as the current Amberley Street footbridge
  17. Diary noted. Sarnies ordered. Location is ???
  18. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Power-Converter-Adapter-AC-110V-120V-to-220V-240V-Up-Down-Volt-Transformer-New-/140903085773?pt=UK_TravelTickets_Accessories_RL&hash=item20ce7a76cd that's the cheapest on e-bay. not necessarily the best though. Is it worth splashing out on a transformer for a set of fairy lights which can be bought very cheaply at this time of year Lol
  19. Atkinsons on the Moor will do it and not very pricey
  20. e-bay. 100g powdered root for £4.34 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Horseradish-root-ground-powder-100g-2-99-The-Spiceworks-Hereford-Herbs-Spices-/350641361251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item51a3da9163
  21. not in Sheffield but good check out their site:- http://www.bba-reman.com/uk/index.aspx
  22. 7x11=77 + 2x6=12 + 89 surely ---------- Post added 02-10-2013 at 07:55 ---------- don't think you're any nearer a definitive answer. If Colly's (corrected ) breakdown is right then the total for one run is 89 steps and there and back becomes 188 neither of which tallies with your friends count. I think your favourite bet is for wait for your interesting day on Saturday
