Hi,

Did your dad know my brother-in -law? Also at the same time his cousin Douglas Lambert was over there.

Cal.

My dad was in the york and lancs. C company. He was at Pontefract September 1952 -1954. He sailed to Sudan on the Empire Ken on 1st of January 1953. Demobbed in 1954. Anyone out there who was there at the same time?

Hi,

My brother-in-law Derek Lambert was there at the same time as your dad. He too sailed on the Empire Ken.

Hi,

What was the shop on the left hand side going down Snig Hill called?

I can remember buying some great tops etc. from there!

Is there anyone out there who can remember Malene Appleyard (maiden name) from Beighton? She would be aged about 70- ish now.

Hi,

Maureen Lamb is my cousin, and yes she does still live in Firshill.

Was it Dr Burrows, or Dr O'Brian? I think it was one of them!

The top of Beaver Hill Road, Woodhouse, is pretty bad!

Hi,

Can anyone remember the Farrand family from Longfield Road?

Cal.

Hi,

Do you think that anyone will be still around from the late 50s? I worked there in 1958, I was 15 at that time.

Hi,

I am really upset! Some low life has stolen the memorial ornament from my late husbands grave in the Stradbroke Rd. Cemetery. I know it didn't cost me a lot of money, but who ever took it must be the lowest of the lowest, to steal from the dead. This is happening to other people with loved ones buried in there too!

hiya yes i do remember your dad as i used to repair the racks for the machine,pauline turtons sister worked in there as well,was it cath ive forgot.

Hi,

Valerie Turton worked with my dad, but Cath worked there for many years.

I worked in the warehouse, and also the 2nd floor in the tool room. I only worked there about a year in 1958/59.Mr Wood was manager.

Hi,

You must have gone to the same school as my husband! He knew the same poetry as you! lol

Hi Whiteley,

I left in 1958, perhaps we were there at the same time!

Cal.

I remember being told off by Mr Hancock and he used to shove the stub of his arm near your face at the same time. Not very nice

Hi,

Did you ever have to get in line outside his office to wait to be caned?

Lot's did!!

Hi,

Mr L.C.Hancock was the headmaster at Beaver Hill when I was there! He used to rub the fingers of all the smokers that he caught with sand paper, to remove the nocotine. We were all scared of him those days (50s) but I guess that we could do with a few more Mr Hancock's in today's society.

Cal.

Hi,

Hi,

My son Gary was a good mate of Dave Bunting! The last I heard of him he was living at Woodhouse Mill with his wife.

Cal.

Hi

Where the Medlock Estate is now, in August the fair used to be there. There was no Medlock Drive there then! I can remember this in the 50s and early 60s.

Hi,

I seem to remember it being a crisp factory behind the house. I don't know if the people who lived in the house had anything to do with the factory!

Cal.

does anybody know of or have any photographs of the bellhouse rd or woodhouse dairy chapel street, i have tried the sheffield library archives and other archives to no avail, i used to work there up to it shutting down then went to work in co-op shops for a few years then left as the co-op wasn't the same, the dairy and bellhouse stores was the heart of the b and c in my opinion, i would appreciate a pointer in the right direction as i think i'm lookin in the wrong place.

Hi,

my husband worked at Woodhous dairy. He was Mick Lambert!

went on my first date with my late husband to the Rex in 1957. We were both 14 years old. The film was Lets be happy...can't remember who was in it! We used that cinema until it closed down. It was a really good cinema...it was a shame to see it go! At that time it cost 1/6d to get in ..downstairs!
