I remember it as a National garage in the 60's as my dad worked there it was at the junction of Abbeydale Road and Hastings Road

was it owned by the cox family?

there used to be a clock and watch repairer on spital hill / burngreave road

did Haywards have a factory in sheffield .I remember in the 70s when i had a snack bar in castle market we used to get some women in from a piccalily factory there hands had gone all yellow working there

 

I'm sure there was a pickle factory on nursery street

on the corner of Johnson street

 

If she believes that voting to leave the EU would damage the majority of her constituents, why on earth would she vote for it?

 

That makes no sense!

because it wasn't for her to decide,

shes there to carry out /represent the voters wishes

have a look in the old bike mart

its a monthly paper there used to be a regular part/guy who reclaimed numbers for bikes that had been off the road a while

go magnet fishing in the don your bound to find a few

which crawshaws?

ok its not John Crawshaw of Stocksbridge

it was known as the silver slipper not the glass slipper.

it was on the opposite corner to the vine

pub on the same side going up cemetery road

Man found safe and well after search and rescue . Not a training exercise.

it took 9 years to find him

nothing to stop pensioners, or any other age for that matter smashing the lock off and getting a free bike should they desire

its true take a look at monty pythons hells grannies

Does anyone still take sandwiches to work for lunch ,with all the take aways etc so convenient but years ago before all these sprung up what did you take to work for lunch. I remember my dad back inthe 50s use to take cold bacon sandwiches , mum would make his pack up the night before and put it in his bag for work , a khaki nap sack from the army and general store

not forgetting the enamel billy can and some mashings wrapped in news paper

Thanks everyone, my Mum would have started work there in the 1940's.

Hi what is your mums name

Didn,t liquorice root used to be a staple crop grown in the Wakefield area years ago?.As a kid I loved it it was cheap to buy and I would chew and suck it until was reduced to shreds,another favourite of mine when I was flush with dosh was Highland toffee with the picture of a long haired highland cow on it!.Also can anyone remember herbal cigarettes they weren,t too bad either all purchased from the beer off at the bottom of Farfield Road,he sold single cigs to us schoolkids he would be sent to hell nowadays for it now how times have changed!.

mcCowans highland toffee

What's the difference?

about 4 quid

I went there 1969 t0 1971

had a great time had many friends / mates still see some to this day.

would be good to hear from other people that knows me

maybe even meet up for a coffee or two

you can also contact me by sending me a pm

sent you a pm

I drove past it today. its now called Mr & Mrs Cods. I find it remarkable that a couple with this name have decided to open a chip shop. What are the chances?

sounds fishy to me

well Good morning everyone, have a great day and remember its THATCHER day, and what a day to be alive

I treat every day as thatcher day and celebrate / party

that will be the old toilets

Happy 70th birthday, Philip

Thank you. I'll go and have a look. I'm interested in sugar free sweets/biscuits

The newsagent in Hillsborough Precinct stock a range of sugar free sweets on a rack / stand outside the shop

The environment minister micheal give has said he's going to bring in a deposit scheme on plastic bottles to reduce waste and encourage recycling ,will this work or will people not bother taking them back as can't it being more than a few pence deposit on a plastic bottle

its got to work due to the amount of crap were throwing in the oceans

I've just started the car using my spare key that isn't remote control but I tried it the other day and it wouldn't start so I don't know, taking it to garage on weds to see what problem is

let us know what the outcome is

I've got a few keys that don't take battery's and they all start cars they fit

I know they exist I had a transit with one that did not have a battery in the fob

The battery in the fob is only for the remote central locking ,it has nothing to do with the chip in the key whatsoever

that maybe the case if its an original key.

I bought a patern key from a key cutters no buttons for central locking but used a battery for immobiliser
