Bushbaby 11 #2287 Posted February 14, 2013 Anyone remember the Newell family lived on Chaucer Rd about three houses down from the Wragg family. I knew the two younger brothers, Brian and Andy, both very good footballers. They had a nephew who lived with 'em for a while called Roy Bona, who was older than his Uncle Andy! ---------- Post added 14-02-2013 at 17:56 ---------- For all those who wanted fotos of The Ritz during it's demolition, I've posted a few onto my "Flickr" page and made them available for Public Viewing! Enjoy!! :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/bushbaby387/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yeah, Andy was a bit spesh. Him and John Denby were the two best footballers on The Cross from that age group, although they rarely played together which was a bit of shame! ---------- Post added 23-02-2013 at 14:23 ---------- I came across this letter in the Sheffield Archives a few days ago Rowdy Behaviour To, Chief Inspector Codina, Ecclesfield Police, From, The Clerk, JH Oliver, Ecclesfield Parish Council, Miners’ Welfare Hall, Chapeltown. “I am directed by the Parish Council to ask you if you can do anything to put a stop to the rowdy behaviour of children, many of them teenagers, round the shops in Margetson Crescent, Parson Cross Estate” It was dated January 1954!!
