Attercliffe lads

Anyone got memories of a family named Albert Berry/Violett Berry who had sons Mick & Stan

Relatives of mine who lived (I think) on Zion Lane??

I used to visit them in the early 1950s but lost contact when I left Sheffield in '67

I remember Violet Berry. She went to live in a flat and she cleaned the betting office at Highate Tinsley. Unfortunately she passed away some years ago. I haven't seen Stan or Mick for some years now. Aunty Violet was the sister of my uncle Albert Spurr, he married my mums sister May.

Can someone please settle an argument with me and our owd lass ? I lived on the border with Attercliffe (Coleridge Road.We called it Darnall coz it sounded posher) lol. Anyway we used to go to Ripon Street rec and as you Atterclffers know had two sides ,sand rec and the "proper" rec Ha!.The question is is did the "proper" rec have "Flying Planks" ?Those who know what I am on about will know,those who dont err soz for wasting you reading space. Proper Rec meant the water fountain was over there.

hi, i lived on ripon street from 1945 to 1964. as a kid i was on the rec every day but cant remember the flying planks.

There were two wrecks at Darnall one was on darnall hill up from the fire station and both had flying planks ,these were like seesaws but went from side to side instead of up and down:thumbsup:

remember rec off ripon street park keeper was a small chap called frank we played some tricks on him putting grass sods on his chimney then hiding behind concrete pipes and waiting for him to open his door and seeing all the smoke come out of his hut good days long gone

Pauline, Its good to hear of somone who remembers Violet and Albert. I recall my mum and dad talking about the Spurr family.

They lived with Aunt Mary Ann who i think was my dads mothers sister.

Incidentally I am one of the Turtons,does that name mean anything?

I once visited aunt Violet and Uncle Albert in their flat, I think it overlooked the M1 motorway.

I wonder what happened to Stan and Mick? I remember being at their house when one of them returned from his army stint (probably 1958 ish) I was about 13, i was born in 1945.

My dad Terry Hutchinson born 1942 lived at 28 Brinsworth Street. Can anyone remember him or his family? Dad Ted, Mum Win, Sister Janet and Brother Tony. I've loved reading all about Attercliffe on here.

Tracy Hutchinson

I think he was a mate of a mate of mine Alan Register who went to Coleridge rd school if so I think I can remember him being a good footballer - that's if I have got the right one

Remember Terry Hutchinson lived just up from Deakin Square we lived at 39 Brinsworth st

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
