JOSE LOY,MYRNA LOY,JACK LOY all lived at 111 Daniel hill street oposite the bakery and next door to the bakery..they lived there from the 1930s until the 1950s and 1960s when they flew the nest. Most of the topics above are recalled by them..thanks for the memories.........

 

I lived further down Daniel Hill Street at 22 but during the 1960's early 1970's. My mum lived further up Daniel Hill Street when she was younger in one of the houses just above The Blake pub. Her maiden name was Grady and had several brothers and a younger sister.

I was friends with a David Walker who used to live in the "round" house (probably octagonal really) on corner of South Road and Carr Road. Was he related to your Walker?

 

I can remember demolishing the round house, and some controversy about it at the time, wonder if it was listed.

You didn't see my friend or his family in it when you demolished it did you?

At one point the plan was to demolish everything below South Road, the 'Walkley Action Group' 'WAG' was set up to fight it with the result that most of the houses were left standing.

My parents home was in the yard in Cundy St numbers 126-134 the houses in the yard below were demolished although I can't understand why.

 

Hi there, i lived at 116 Cundy st as child. We had to move because the houses weren't safe to live in. So they pulled them down ... Sad really had some good times in our 2 up and 2 down house

Hi

Doeas anybody have any memories of life on Daniel Hill Street?

[1942mick 10]

Murder of Winifred Jesse HEPPLEWHITE at 33 Fir Street, Sheffield on or about 3 January 1966 by her husband Police Sergeant Kenneth HEPPLEWHITE of the Sheffield City Police.

I found this on The National Archives

 

Hi, I used to play with both of her children (Raymond & Susan) back in those days but only knew there surname as Beard , however the police sergeant I believe was at Woodseats police station and had family or friends in the Newcastle area as that is where he tried to dump her body in the sea !
