i was born on marshal street, we had a sweet shop[fowlers] there was a pub at the bottom known locally as the bottom but i think it was called the salutation inn an had a picture of a guard saluting on it., i also remember the loco club, we went there for years after we left pitsmoor, i always went on the trip to cleethorpes with my brother. just another note,do you know that jeff and pete stringfellow lived there, they were older than me but went to school with my sister and brother. many years later i went for a job at the downtown bar and they remembered me even though i was only about 4 when we left.

parkway was built in61/62 my dad worked on constution i left brook school in 63 and used to cycle down it to work in town it was only a single carridgeway to start with from handsworh rd to manor lane

the two ponds were a fishing pond the outher was in the quary were kids used to swim in the summer

with the stones at city hall 63/64 the hollies dave berry and frank white the first time i saw guitar with two handles & two sets of strings

used to go in the 50ts & 60ts remember the starlight club it had turns on & blue coats & a cassino up stairs

last time i so anyone looking out of the up stairs window was about 2 years ago it was an asian family as to medlock estate it was built after 1962 i worked on the last fair to be held on that land in 1962 before it moved to handsworth wreck

we used to go tadpoling there in t 1950ts a stream used torun in to it it was filled in to make way 4 the parkway rd about 1960

the mick madey my husband[alan cooper] knew joined the raf, he was mates with billy antcliffe, and mick hurst, who lives in woodhouse mill and goes in mill club, maybe theyll know?/

im often told i look like tyne daily of cagney and lacey, or that singer who was on the liners.

there is a family called peacock living on the ballifield estate handsworth??? their son went to school with my daaughter so age is about right

i worked at the fiesta , first in the restraunt,as a waitress, but the money and tips were better on mini meals[chips and scampi/fish/burger in a basket served at your table] so i switched. the names i remember are magaret who cooked the burgers, margaret who spoke fluent french,and made some of the uniforms we wore, pamelia,she had very long blond hair and lived at handsworth, the first uniform i had was a black leotard,with a lilac wrapround "skirt" with fishnet tights and patent high heels, we had yellow gingham with big bows on the back, and in our hair. red with white fur trim christmas dresses and white boots. i saw gadys night and the pips, gene pitney,cannon and ball who were excellent the best double act ive ever seen. saw them every night for 2 weeks even went on nights off and every night was different and hysterical.dave allen. kid creole and the coconuts, tommy cooper,who was very rude to his fans, in fact abusive would be a better description. the spinners who kept me serving them till 3.30am in the morning running me ragged and never even said thankyou never mind leave a tip. i should have finished at 1.30am too many names to remember, some more famous now than then. when we signed off we used to get changed and go into the downstairs bar, or the small disco , they shut at 2 so we didnt have long, buy we had a dance and a laugh. then we waited for staff taxis, every taxi had to be full, so if you lived out of the way you might go all round sheffield before you got home. happy days. i was in my early 20 s had 3 kids and no money, so to me it was my social life as well as my job. i loved it

oulin still has a stall on the moor
