Plain Talker   11 #2 Posted December 5, 2006 There's a huge thread on WMCs somewhere on here, UHWMC is mentioned on it.  There is now a nursing home, on the junction of Gleadless Road and Cat Lane, where the club used to be.  (whereabouts in Perth, WA are you, tourist? I have an uncle close by there, in Kalamunda) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Plain Talker   11 #4 Posted December 5, 2006 Not been to Perth, no. I would like to go, but as I am a "flying-o-phobic" (lol ) I doubt I'd manage a 24/28 -odd hour flight over to Australia. (I'm freaked out at the idea of a 2-hour flight to the continent, a trip to Barcelona, which I'd like to do next year. I reckon I will need serious counselling! lol  I'm still in sunny Sheffield-on-sea (lol) I'm in Nether Edge/Sharrow, just by Psalter Lane (If you can remember your Sheffield geography?)

heeleygirl   10 #5 Posted December 6, 2006 Does anyone remember the Upper Heeley Working Mans Club ? I remember the Upper Heeley WMC I lived on Fitzroy Road just down the road from the club and me and my brother Alan use to go on the club trips every year. My father was a life member of the club, and also use to sing on the clubs in the 50's. Don't no if you know but the site of the club is now a senior citizens home, but Cat Lane is still there.

artisan   10 #8 Posted December 7, 2006 I was a member what seems like centuries ago, in the 70's. As kids in the early 60's we used to go on the seaside trips, 7/6 spending money, and sandwiches I think, seemed like a fortune Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
