Arthur Bell   10 #433 Posted October 9, 2015 It's quite possible that your teacher lived at 16 Stubbin Lane. My Dad sold number 16 and we moved to 212 Chippinghouse Road in 1952. I still went to Owler Lane school till I finished my GCE's The people who lived at No.14 ran a private dance school - don't ask me their names - They taught Tap and Ballet dancing.

paulowls284 Â Â 10 #434 Posted October 10, 2015 Arthur It must have been embarrassing for you.Was Dr Pettigrew the one just down from the bank that sat on the junction I remember our Dr was down from there and I think there was a bus stop outside the surgery which took you into town past Burngreave.Interesting to see you reside in Canada as my parents and three brothers who were younger than me also moved to Ontario and still live in St. Catherines I did not go as I was 2 yrs into my apprenticeship but I have not done too badly.That was in 1974 before it all went downhill.

Arthur Bell   10 #435 Posted October 10, 2015 Hi Paul - As far as I can remember the doctor's office was on the left side of the road when you left Firth Park to go to town (same side as the library) but nearer to Firth Park. Interesting that your parents and brothers live in Canada. St Catherines is not far from where we live. My 3 kids were all born in Sheffield but are married to Canadians. I got re-married 25 years ago and my wife is German from Cochem. That's a great place to visit with lots of old pubs like there used to be in Derbyshire. I have a cousin who still lives in Bakewell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
johnpm   18 #436 Posted October 11, 2015 The Doctors surgery we went to for Dr Pettigrew etc. is still at the same place now ( or was not many years ago) about 100 yards or so along from Firth Park towards town opposite the park.

Frankie Rage   10 #437 Posted November 13, 2015 I too remember Dr Pettigew, very kindly lady. There was also Dr Ridgeway, also kindness personified. I can remember being ill as if it were yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I grew up there and so many memories .. so disappointing (to me, anyway..) how some people live and how they treat the place they live in .. but it's their home now so up to them to set the standard they want ..
