brinsworth   10 #79 Posted October 24, 2009 I've heard there were a few families living up there that were responsible for most of the crime within a few miles radius of the Flower Estate. Police drivers didn't bother chasing joyriders round the streets of North Sheffield; they'd just lie on wait on the Flower Estate for them to turn up later!  Those houses have now been flattened, as part of the recent encroachment of housing developments onto Wincobank Hill.  No one owned the estate. we were off Daffodil road but were quiet happy playing on Honeysuckle road with the Woodwards & Robbo's.On Hyacinth with the myers.Lets start another Debate Which was the Best road on the flower estate Obviously Daffodil road but whay does everyone else think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
