Does anyone have any recollections about a 'Team Relay Raft Race'. It was held on the Sheffield Canal between Greenland Rd/Broughton Lane and the Canal Basin on the May Day Sunday Bank Holiday during the 1980 - 90s Albert T Smith

If I eventually decide to make the trip. I think a direct chat with the ones who have made the trip along with anyone else who would like to go would be useful. I'll be coming back to you halevan with more information For myself it will finalise a 'lifetime' deam

I'm thinking about it for next year. I've read about it but I'm after hard practical facts. Anybody interested in doing it? Quote: If mi old lass lets mi.

Has anyone travelled the Trans Siberian Railway Starting from Sheffield - London - Moscow - Vladivostok then taking the ferry over to Japan?

I moved to 77 Holgate Crescent in 1946/7. After attending Eccesfield Junior. (Headmaster Mr Swan) and eventually failing the Eleven Plus along with all other new pupils from the New Parsons Cross estate we were drafted to Burgoyne Road in the late 1949s until the new Colley School was opened in January 1950 or 51. Mr Harry Birch was the Head and my 'A' stream year was the first class which completed the through transit of the school. I left in 1953/4 to start work at Brightside Foundry, Eccesfield Lane. as an Apprentice Engineer. Starting in the foundry core shop as the 'Tea Lad' (Teamaker). We did not have a great standard of life but I can never ever remember being bored. Was any reader in my class?

David I will be in direct contact shortly if you are still at Surrey Street? If anyone else is interested in creation of a 'Sheffield Clarion Ramblers'. Please get in touch. Albert T Smith

Is anyone interested in the creation of a 'Sheffield Clarion Ramblers' web site? or what is the feeling regardings a meeting with the idea of setting one up.

On Totley Moss moorland their is a cairn and a Trig Point. Has the Trig Point been moved at some time? Also following the wall pasted the Trig Point heading to Totley Moss a gatepost attached to the old wall gives reason to believe that a house or dwelling existed once near-bye. Does anyone know anything about these?
