tara Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Did anyone live in the old back to back houses in wincobank in the 60s.- newman road. they were originally built when crowleys came ,so that people who came over for jobs would have somewhere to live. They had only one room downstairs, one bedroom and an attic. happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsiebert Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I lived on Newman Drive, and went to Wincobank school, I remember those houses well as a kid, but I remember them getting knocked down also, I never knew anyone that lived in them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I too went to Wincobank School and remember the houses on Newman Road, just below the school I think. There were some on Barrow Road too, if memory serves me correctly. Near to what I think was Harrison's greengrocers [run by Walt Harrison]. I think at this time [late sixties, very early seventies] there were also some in nearby Brightside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzig Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi tara Not specifically relating to back-to-back houses in the Wincobank area, but this is a plan of typical Sheffield back-to-back houses which you might find interesting.

tara Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Oh yes cheers Leipzig. Years ago i once saw a picture or bit of film or something to do with council planning and it showed newman Rd back to backs. Cant for the life of me remember much more about the film But i do wish i could pick up a photo of them. Tried the sheffield Library website but theres only one of Robin Hood Road. If anyone knows where i could find any pics or old film of Newman Rd Back to Backs I would be very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handypandy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Some of my family lived there, certainly in the 50's but I'd have to do a bit digging to find out exactly who. Probably name of Kelford. I remember visiting there as a kid and for some reason seem to remeber walking over railway lines, dim and distant memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leipzig Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Tara Try a visit to Sheffield Local Studies Library itself, if I remember correctly the online Picturesheffield.com database only holds 10,000 images, but if you look at the database in the library you have access to about three times more images.
