Hi, my great great grandparents loved at 2 Aston terrace, and a few of their children lived on there aswel. Their names were frederick and Matilda westrop. Does anyone no that family?

Hi, I have found out that I had a Gt Aunt, who lived at Aston Terrace. Her name was Mary Farrand, and she married Thomas Westrop. Her sister lived there too. They were called Ellen or Nellie and Fred Marsh. I would love to know if any of their families still live in the Swallownest area

Hi, Yes Trevor was my nephew, and Tina and Maxine are his sisters, Don't know if you have heard....Trevor passed away 3rd March this year. So sad!

Hi I was at Beaver Hill in 1958 Mr Hancock head mrs Spencer Mr Thompson Mr Deakin anyone else remember them

Hi, I left in 1958, and my last teacher was Mr Watson. At that time there was Miss Hibbard, Miss Lilley ( art) Mrs Walsh (music.) Mr Bailey, Mr Price (PE) Mr Dayble (RE) Mr Richarson, Mr Griffiths (metalwork) Mr Jeeves Mr Squires. These are the ones that I can remember the most.

Also, does anyone know the name of the retro cafe/bar that was next to Rare and Racy on Devonshire Street about 13 years ago? It was a sort of Mexican theme(?) with pictures of Casablanca and old movies on the walls.

I remember Peggy....I started at Surmanco's in 1959 at the age of 15. She was working there then in the assembly rooms. NICE LADY !

So sad...we lived back to back. RIP Rod !

Hello,can you give a better description of your ginger cat please. I have had a very thin ginger cat visiting my garden for the last three months now.My neighbour and I started feeding him about a month ago, and he looks a lot better than he did.

does anyone remember Davy's Bakery and shops in sheffield

I worked in the offices on Paternoster Row. Lovely place to work, but the wages were low. I worked in the Punch Card room...really enjoyed my time there.

Hello Victor,

This thread is nothing about the Pavilion, but you seem to have lot's of knowledge about old Swallownest! I am researching my family tree, and have hit a brick wall. I remember as a child in the 50's, my parent's visiting a bungalow, either on Manvers Rd, or Eden Grove. The relation was my mum's. I think she was called Edna...her parents were Fred and Ellen Marsh, and lived at Aston Terrace (now demolished) I think they were called Smith, and had a Polish lodger living with them called Tony. He was a miner ! Hopefully you might just remember something about them. Cal.

Hotmail has changed over to microsoft now, and its useless, you'll probs get a message from microsoft telling you that someone else has been using your account so they've locked it and you'll have to recover it. This is a VERY lengthy process where they ask loads of stupid questions just trying to get your personal info I think, I've just ditched the whole account.

Thanks for your reply....I haven't any knowledge on computers really. I have tried to make a new account with Yahoo, but had no luck with that either.

Any ideas ?????

Anyone out there having trouble getting on to hotmail?

Mine stopped working about five days ago,

Hi,

He won't probably remember me. I was Carole Crookes...I married Mick Lambert. I think they were in the same class at Beaver Hill. He might remember that we were going out together at school. Sadly Mick passed away nearly four years ago now.I still see quite a few of the old faces up here.

We had a Walter Christian in our class at Beaver Hill School. He came from Attercliffe.

"You know him, he walks backwards spits sideways and laughs lot."

"Oh yes, I know who you mean now."

1960's

I first heard this when I met my husband (Mick Lambert) way back in 1957.

I thought it was just the Woodhouse folk that said it.

my dad did, tony coleman, he lived on fitzmaurice road. he is always talking about the good old days down darnall. walking to the wednesday ground to watch the match,fishing trips to saxilby, all the pubs/clubs in darnall, playing in tinsley woods. philimore school and coleridge school and swimming in the canal that was then yellow!

Hi Gazza,

I lived next door to your dad, and did all those things with him. There is a lot that your dad hasn't told you....like going in the wood in the middle of the night. Getting made up for New Year by your grandad...alias...Al Jolson

Boxing in the yard with Trevor Linley.

My name is Jim Marsden. Happy Days !!!

I am not sure what prompted me to go onto this site for I left Sheffield in the early70s but I noticed your post about Jean Darby.I married Jean in 1969 and we lived at Nether Edge moving to Nottingham in 73.Sadly Jean died in2003.By coincidence or not your original post was on her birthday! Her older brother Alan is still alive and lives in Worksop.

So sorry !

I remember Alan Darby ...lived on Ballifield Place I think. He had a younger sister.Can't remember her name though!

Yes, you are correct. I remember Mrs Hill living near to the Lambert family. The other Lambert family lived on Mauncer Lane in the circle. I married Mick Lambert. I think Mrs Hill's daughter Betty, used to play with Brenda Lambert my husband's older sister.

Does anyone remember any of the Lambert family from the Mauncer estate?

I lived on the estate from 1951-1963. I lived on Ballifield Drive, opposite the Everest. The kids that lived around me were.....The Bramhall girls...Barbara, Dot and Marilyn. David Brown and his little sister Leslie. Stuart Berisford. Graham Savage. Malcolm Varah. Jennifer Allen. Jean Thorley (John's sister)

Jackie Hargreaves. Christine Brooks.

It was a great place to grow up....

Happy days

Hi,

I would love to contact Judy (maiden name wood) She lived at Greenhill before getting married!!!

Worked at Arthur Davy's in the accounts office in the early 60's.

Also had an older sister named Pam. Hope someone out there can help !

Regards Cal.

I remember getting a blue penknife and going to the Wednesday ground, the Queen also came down the main road of Crookes in an open air tram, and came out to wave to all the people who flocked outside the Cutlers Hall that Night to catch a glimpse of her.

Hi,

I remember going to the Wednesday ground too...still using the scissors that the girls got. So they must have been good quality !!

Hi,

I am trying to trace Marie Warren from Attercliffe (last heard of living in Dronfield). She attended Beaver Hill Secondary School, and her siblings were... Linda and Paul.

I think she had twins...

I remember the slide, the swings and the roundabout, but was there a flying plank in there???

My two cousins went there - they lived across from the school at 87 Handsworth Grange Road from the time the houses were built. Someone may remember them. Christine Brooks was the older and Michael Brooks was about 1.1/2 years younger.

Christine and her husband Tony live in the Chesterfield area and Micheal and his wife Lorraine live in Sheffield Highgreave area

 

I am their older cousin and live in Malaysia
