Holgate Crescent - Parson Cross - Sheffield

[Albert T Smith 10]

There was a family named Woollen lived on Holgate (Cresent I believe) and if my memory is correct, the number was 45. Also my father was a Plumber with Charlesworth at the time NPX was being built.

 

If he is still with us. Please get any of his memorys of the job written down on the Forum.

He's been sorting the plumbing out upstairs for a few years now.

In 1946 whilst most of the new Parson Cross was being built I went to live at 77 Holgate Crescent. Initially attending Eccelsfield Junior School then Burgoyne Road, Walkley and eventually the first ;A; stream to go through Colley Sec Modern.

 

Did anyone on the forum live on Holgate Crescent at this time.

I remember: Carters, Murphy's, Godleys, Streets.

One of her son's called Jack (John) daughters or daughter in law told me that Jack was living at Stocksbridge. All being well she will read this and come back to you. Jack was one of my former School class mate at Colley Sec Modern.

I lived on Holgate crescent in the late forties ; I think it was at number 52, but not sure . We moved when my dad was killed in a works accident in 1948.

Hi Alexeric1 - you and other Holgate Crescent folk may recognise some names in this scan from the 1970 Kelly's Directory.
