briret 9 #517 Posted January 8, 2020 My mum lived in Coleford road across from.. the church she was bombed out in 1940.T.he ARP wardens shelter was hit and six of the seven wardens were killed I was born and brought up on the Littledale estate and my mum lived there for 63 years before moving to an old folks home where she passed away in 2018. We always watched the parade with Eric morley leading the way, we also used to see him sometimes in the darnall liberal club where my dad and I became life members(after 25 years membership) . It is sad to see how rundown darnall appears but I have happy memories of the park and going to the saturday matinee at the Lyric cinema Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

osscat 0 #521 Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I lived in Darnall for a while and took many photographs - one day I went into the Rose and Crown and someone said to me - "take his picture, he's just read his obituary in the Star" I did but it was 1976 and my notes have gone astray - If my memory is correct he was called 'Albert' - if anyone knows who he was and anything about him I would be greatly obliged . https://tinyurl.com/sogag6a Thanks - Peter Edited February 23, 2020 by osscat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I hope the plans go well, keep us informed. The Facebook group Park Hill Flats (Sheffield) is run by Mick Jones who took photographs there 1969/70 and he may well be worth getting in touch with to compare notes. He has a book and an exhibition coming up at the end of the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
