well said, there was nothing wrong with Ashleigh.

Anyone know of any email web or home address where we can pass on our apologies for Mr Allens actions to the King? Thanks Paul, you will be a hard act to follow. The Kop wishes you well

Hello Mr Tingle! After all these years! Hope you are well sir, have you kept in touch with any of the other teachers? Mr Underdown for instance? Glad to know you are ok. Tell us all how you are

Can anyone think back to Daisy Walk? What was it like to live there? When was it all demolished? Does anyone remember people or families that used to live on Daisy Walk? Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Richard

There are one or two photos of Martin Street and a couple of maps. It is so funny....it captures the lot and everything I miss about Sheffield and where my dad came from..It touched me, made me laugh and made me sad but above all, out of all the trouble and strife there is the old Sheffield trait of having a laugh....Top notch, thank you Mr Pass

Has anyone else read this book? It must stir memories of Upperthorpe. If you haven't read it, read it! Does Daisy Walk ring any bells, as I often thought, Weerz me dad. Any thoughts appreciated thanks

Does anyone remember anything of Melville Road? My gran lived there up to it being pulled down. There was a joiners workshop on the corner...the Twiggs lived in the yard...its all under the stadium now I believe. They were all moved up to the Manor, Wulfric Close...Outside loos, no heating apart from the fireplaces and the boom boom boom of the rolling mills. There was a church nearby when you turned right on Attercliffe Road and a toyshop...god they worked hard and we think it is tough now....

does anyone know where I can get in touch with Alison? She lived in Walkley and worked at Greaves on Sidney Street. any help most appreciated, thanks

Could anyone please give me any help about Daisy Walk? What it was like, photos etc? Any help would be appreciated.

Mr PW, was it the New Inn you went to or the Punch Bowl? Or further afield?

The two George Bests are reunited, thinking of you Mark...

There was an old cutlery factory off London Road where I used to work. I'll try to come up with its address. The Yorkshire Art Space was on the site of the old Butlers factory. I refuse to say Butlers the cutlers! There were many in there...There was a guy in the next workshop, he used to make tulips, roses, daffies, any flower you name it, from those large roadsigns at roundabouts and junctions, etc, the really big ones. The one that was off London Road was just about as dickensian as you could wish. The windows were filthy and broken, the roof leaked, but there was an atmosphere...men still hammered cultlery by hand in the forges and shared spaces with artists and craftsmen. The man you want is Ross...like the above London Road, my memory escapes me....old age, sorry!

The bombing of Hillsborough Barracks is interesting, though I will have to check the dates. My old house in Walkley, and many others, still had remnants of shrapnell embedded in the gable ends from bombing raids.

hello, I used to live on Duncombe Street. The roof needed repairing and the roofer said lots of gable ends in Walkley were still littered by shrapnel when the Germans bombed Hillsborough Barracks. They missed...Hillsborough Barracks was a gravy factory at the time but the Germans were looking at WW1 maps when it was a Barrack. Duncombe Street was full of the 'old-timers' who had lived there for years. Fred who lived 2 doors down would always say hello. Watched Wednesday v Spurs, stood on the Kop, it was live on the beeb. I noticed the St Johns ambulance carry someone out on a stretcher. I didn't realise at the time....it was Fred.....he had a heart attack on the Kop and passed away....It would have been the way he wanted it....rest in peace Fred...Hope this has been of some use.

Mr JW, did you by any chance live opposite Martin Leary, just around the corner from Seagrave Avenue? Hope you don't mind me asking...I'm sure I must know you
