Memories Of Walkley

[phantom309 10]

My friend Ian Bailey lived at 147 Industry St, just above Walkley ST.

 

my wife lived in Industry Street 45 to 66 then we lived in Parsonage Street 68 to 86. Bassman was your dad a big friend of our next door neighbour Ron Campbell in Parsonage Street

I don't know how it takes you to Loxley Road

 

Walkley Cemetery *is* the burial ground for St Mary's Parish, but it is some distance from the parish church. It is above the Catholic Cemetery in the Rivelin Valley with its main (and only official) entrance on Nichols Road (an unadopted road) off Waller Road. It doesn't go up quite as far as Bole Hill Road.

Is there a plan of the cemetary please?

Hi Bassman I got to know your dad as we lived next door to Ron for 18 years and as you say he was a very nice person as we used the club when I was home and would always have word with your dad and Ron.

This photograph was reputedly taken at the back of the Freedom Hotel or possibly the Palm Inn, I suspect the former as there are family connections with this pub in the early 1900s. Anyone any ideas?

If you pm me an email address I can send you some plans (I assume for the SETTLE grave A288). I have also found that Albert George is buried in grave F205 with 3 people called HULME. I don't think that grave has a gravestone.

Anyone else have pictures of Walkley-any areas/roads etc-just find it all interesting.

 

Does anyone know if there are any books specifically about Walkley-its history etc.

Any information appreciated
