Grappler   12 #13 Posted August 2, 2010 I was born in Lodge Moor (Blackbrook Rd 1962) and lived there until I got married in 1989 when I moved to Crookes. Now back just over the border in Fulwood but walk the dog regularly around Lodge Moor where my parents still live. I know Gerald Colley, he lives quite close just off Crimicar Lane but don't think his wife is called Jane???  Gerald's a cracking bloke, salt of the earth, help anybody out. And his wife is not called Jane, correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

At one time we had to have permission from the farmer to play in that field as he use to have his cows in there.

MYPATCH Â Â 10 #17 Posted August 3, 2010 I lived in Upper Fulwood( St. Albans Road) from 1968 -1974. Lived away from Sheffield more than I have lived in it although I was born in Broomhill. I have been to many places in the World as well as in England and haven't found a place that is better than Lodge Moor and Fulwood. Â People in the 'south' think that Sheffield is all coal mining,steel works and flat caps! They don't know that our 'back door' leads into the Peak District, infact many haven't heard of the Peak District! They say things like "Do you mean the Derbsyhire dales?" Â I went to Tapton school and I recall Jane Tipper as she was in my year. I remember her going out with Gerald Culley, he lived near the church in Fulwood. He was a year or two above us.Jane moved to Sheffield from Derby so may have gone back there? I have only seen her once since I left school and she was on a bus going to Walkley!She was very friendly with Jacqui Dodds who lived near Jane.

mike-s   13 #18 Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for that mypatch. It's many years since Jane and I worked together and if memory serves me right she split with Gerald at that time and started dating one of the maintenance guys at the store, not sure if they ever got married but remember her as a lovely lass.

mike142sl   10 #22 Posted August 4, 2010 I knew a Roger Miller - in my class at Lydgate. He lived on Blackbrook Rd - 1st house on the right after you'd got off the 51 bus. The Millers I knew lived in the house that is now next to St Luke's Church. The parents were Harold and Mary, he was a very respected consultant at Weston Park and there is still a unit named after him there. They were a bit like honorary grandparents and came to my wedding.
