is anyone still in touch with the old shopkeepers in Page hall from the 70's?

Jack Asher, Brian Underwood, Kennington, Siddall, Bill Beever, Sally Anne, Nortcliffe (Popes), Patnick?

The popes owners son Martin I think his name is runs Sheffield sports salvage on Catley road, darnal just off Greenland road.

I grew up at Page Hall and seem to remember Popes being on the corner of Firth park Road and Bolsover Road East (Little Bolsover) before moving round the corner.

Hi, my aunt and uncle owned that shop back in the late '40's and early '50's before Stan Cave . It was they who named it McGreggors, I think. And coincidentally, John Cave, Stan's son, worked for me for  6 years back in the late '70's and early '80's and we had kept in touch until I moved abroad 16 years ago.

Hi Paul, Did you have the nickname of Carrots? I remember someone from that address who I believe emigrated to Canada. This could have been your father? My name is Rod Sockett.

Firth Park W.M.C. Idsworth road is still going or it was before Covid struck. They were struggling to keep afloat but just managing to do so , apparently the club will open again in May. I am a life/free member of the club and I joined in 1965.

I played football with a Jeff sockett in the sixties he was a goalkeeper and a good one at that

Do you know Gary Spooner?  I went to school with him and since being old enough to join the club he has been a regular, as was his father.

Yes I know Gary well. We played in the same snooker team for F.P.W.M.C. for a few years. I still see him now and again, he's still the same kind of bloke as he always was. Also see his brother Mick as well. His dad Sam was on the committee for years.
