Hi how is my cousin in law and her husband this is long lost cousin in New Zealand

One of the few girls I remember but was too shy to talk to was Julie Fox from Stocksbridge Secondry about 1968 SHe was a knockout.

Every one is different we went to Tasmania first for four years then moved to New Zealand. My Mum hated New Zealand did not like the people so she moved back to Sheffield then Barnsley ,me I love it here and love people this is my home may be because I was 15 when left Sheffield . But i have very fond memories of Stanigton ,Deepcar, Riverlyn valley and Burngreave Rd . When I came back in 1984 I had tear in my eye but after a couple of months I was home sick for NZ. I would love to visit and show my kids were I grew up may be one day.

Was in Rhodesia in 59 but when we came back my granmother would take me every year to pantomines (with ST Johns) all have a meal first then off to Pantomine ,one thing i miss here do they still have them ?

Got fond memories of Stanington, Deepcar, Burngreaves Rd but New Zealand is now home .

came to visit grandparents and there was buskus playing Beatles songs in hole but can t remember if tank was still going . remember tank back from when we left in 68.

went to Stocksbridge in 66-68 was in red thats all I remember. before that went to crapp school called Oakwood but can't remember any houses.

best teacher and i;ve been to heaps of schools round the world is from Stocksbridge Secondry (1968) our form teacher. MR Stibbs or Stubbs . English was always worst subject and he made it so interesting. Thanks

My father lived in High Mattlock rd Stanington as a boy in the war and told me of a night in the airraid shelter .They heard a bomb coming down and my Gradfather and great gadfather put their shoulder to the door but there was no exposion just a shuddering thump. In the morning they look for the bomb but nothing found .Years later after the house was sold there was a bomb found in the garden it had fallen into the compost heap and layed burried there where we used to have the annual bonefire . If anyone could advise on any info on a unexploded bomb in High Mattlock rd not sure of address but was opersite the old quary (semidetached )
