harvey19 Â Â 541 #49 Posted November 29, 2011 Hi Yes they are my brothers. My mother lived there a short while with my grandmother. I remember my mother telling me of a dog they let go as it ate all the sandwiches off the table which were for their tea. Any more info about you or the dog would be good as I can let my brothers know Thanks Hi Paul, Charlie was with me when I got the dog. I am on the Photo that includes you and Tony at Charlies wedding to Lynn. I was talking to Charlie a couple of months ago and just mention e before y to Tony. I remember you as a youngster as I knocked about with Charlie all the time and spent a lot of time at your house until I joined the army.

trans   10 #53 Posted April 25, 2012 the undertakers is now an apartment block - very nice too. apparently there is a tunnel leading from it to the tesco as it used to be the hospital. Anyone else heard this?  There was a tunnel between the two parts of the Infirmary that they use to take patients across to the chapel for sunday morning worship.

sirglyn   11 #55 Posted April 25, 2012 Funny you should mention that.I,also take a walk around the area whenever I'm back in Sheffield.I lived 10 years each in Kelvin and Shiregreen but the latter means nothing to me.I always describe myself as coming from the Kelvin.I did all of my primary schooling at Philadelphia.Can't say I enjoyed it though.

BarryL Â Â 10 #56 Posted January 29, 2016 I am newly registered today 29/01/16 so not sure how this works. I lived at 1court 1 Cross Bedford St from 1948 to 1957 when we moved to the new Lowedges estate. My grandfather Harry Gillyett remained there until about 1962. I have seen posts referring to him as Harry Gilliott or Gillot. His wife Doris died in 1946 before I was born. Grandad and his wife had 2 children, my mother Dorothy and another Harry. Grandad was not shot down in a Spitfire as noted in earlier posts. He was a Flight Sergeant and suffered a brain hemoerrage whilst on duty in England. The operation went wrong and he was paralysed down his right side and could only speak a few words. I would really like to get in touch with his niece Hazel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BarryL Â Â 10 #58 Posted January 29, 2016 Thank you Sirglyn. Yes Ihave seen the posts from Hazel and she must be a distant relative. My mother used to tell me of the air raids during the war and how she was afraid in the air raid shelter. Not sure where it was but There must have been a lot of friendships made. I remember Bentons clearly. There was old Mr Benton and his son Alan who took over from him. Old Mr Benton built a stone house at Riverlin when he retired. I remember seeing it. My great grandmother Ruth Strickland had 10 children and lived on Bedford St directly across from Cross Bedford St. I rode many times with Mr Matkin on his cart - I think we took manure to a field somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
