Darnall did you live here

[briret 9]

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

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 .

Re Littledale Estate - 1960/63 when I worked at J.Stead Tools Manor Lane there was a guy who worked in the grinding dept by the name of John Surr, he lived on Littledale, and if still alive will be over 90 now maybe 95 even

 

Around 1981/2 I often went for lunch at the pub on Littledale, but cannot remember the name

The pub is The Half Moon and it is still open

Yes, I remember them.

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.
