Its a bit pricy there. Was looking for some industrial supplier. Must be several in Sheffield/Rotherham?

Anyone know where I can buy a bag or two of sand Bakst grit? I just have a small gun to use now.

I remember sitting in school and watching 2 men stood on to of the chimney knocking it down brick by brick.

My dad worked there around that time. Charlie Harrison.

I live in Midhopestones now. In what used to be a barn on the A616 Manchester Rd. Anyone got any old photos?

Are any decent people going to want to live there - doctors and nurses? I think not. This sounds like pulling the wool over the eyes of the council and locals to get through planning.

My friend does it she did a make up party for mine but does face painting she's good with kids x doing make up and media studdies at uni I cud pass ask her for you if u like

Hi do you have a contact for face painting, we are looking for someone to come to our charity show.

If you are part of a tug o war team and would like to pull at our competition please get in touch.

The competition is at the Midhopestones Country Fayre on 17th June 2012

There is a trophy to be won (Winners hold it for 1 year) and a case of beer - thanks to Bradfield Brewery for that.

There is a classic car treasure hunt on 26th June at Midhopestones Nr Stocksbridge. Full details are on our web site http://WWW.Midhopegala.co.uk.

Does anyone know of a decent band who will play music for all tastes at a charity show - early July next year near Stocksbridge. This is a charity show but we are willing to pay.

Hal,

Thank you for your kind reply. My father (mac) died in October 1984, did you know?

Gillian

Father used to work there till about 1984 - George Matthews (mac) milling dept.

I went to Shiregreen nursery, infants, junior and senior but then went on to Hinde House after 2 years at seniors as it closed down. As I remember the senior school had the play ground and a slope went down to what was like a yellow field covered in a clay type surface and was called the enclosure. It had a high netting fence round like a tennis court. Beyond that was the quarry and to one side was a brick yard. I remember sitting in class and watching 2 men stand on top of the chimney about 100ft up and knocking the bricks off the top with a sledge hammer to demolish it.

Yes I remember Elaine Self and Cathrine Earnshaw - just. I was at Hinde house from about 1968 to 1974 and left after 6th form. Anyone remember Graham Laycock, Michael Hobson, The Sturrock twins?
