TURFITTMAR

Hi MrDJ, Just wondered if you knew who originally recorded the song from the late 60`s early 70`s? called Yellow River, does anyone remember that song?

YEAH I REMEMBER HER, SHE WAS WELL KNOWN IN TOWN, GOD KNOWS HOW MANY YEARS SHE LASTED OUT THERE, SAD REALLY ISN`T IT. USE TO ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ON WORDSWORTH TOO, CALLED NODDY, DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HIM?

LOOKING FOR ANY OLD TIMERS THAT WERE SAW SMITHS WORKING IN SHEFFIELD, BETWEEN THE YEARS 1948 TO 1972 WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Hi Cycleracer, I moved from sheffield in 1972 to the States, wasn`t my doing was only 13-14 at that time. Dad found a better job, and with having 6 kids, a good paying job was what you needed. We have stayed here, and although it is a nice country, Sheffield will always be in our hearts and we will never forget where we came from. We never became citizens, for the fact of not wanting to turn our backs on our own country so there is pros and cons to everything.

Hi Sandy, I was born on the Parson Cross Estate,Wordsworth Ave to be exact in 1959, I grew up there till I was 14yrs old, then we moved to U.S.A. My grandparents and parents moved into the house when it was brand new, thats the house I was born in along with my brother and sister. My grandparents remained there till 1988, and so many things had changed. I remember the news agent use to be at one time Mr Daley, then it was taken over by Aldams, then there was Straws, the chippy was owned by Mr. Mrs Bellhouse and the fruit shop was Leaches. Boy do I miss those days . I would love to hear from any old neighbours from around there. There is never no where like home.

Hi Bill, My father worked at Firth Browns years ago, as a sawsmith, his name is Ronald Turfitt, not sure what dates he worked there. Also another family member did, his name was Leslie Shakeshaft, also not sure what year he worked there either. Do you happen to remember them?
