Pearl_Jam   10 #1 Posted May 21, 2011 I've just finished reading a book called 'Fiona's Story' a tragic story about a Sheffield teenager named Fiona Ivison. Fiona got involved in drugs and prostitution in the early 90's and died at the hands of a punter.  It was a very sad story, I just wondered if anyone else had read the book?

Pearl_Jam   10 #4 Posted May 21, 2011 The book mentions the street names of Fenwick Road and Lester St but I've never hear of those road names in Sheffield? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's a interesting book, although I'm sure there are a thousand such Fiona's go the same way every year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Plain Talker   11 #8 Posted May 22, 2011 The book mentions the street names of Fenwick Road and Lester St but I've never hear of those road names in Sheffield?  The place that Fiona was killed was demolished as part of the new inner relief road I believe.  I believe those street names are in Doncaster, which is where Fiona was murdered, back in 1993. (although, yes, she was from Sheffield IIRC) She was just seventeen, and had been "working the streets for just three weeks before her murder.  Medusa, the murder you are thinking of was the murder of Michaela Hague, which happened ten years ago in November. (5th Nov 2001)  She was murdered by a punter, in the wasteland which was beside the Manchester pub (now renamed the Harlequin). This area was, indeed, cleared and extensively remodelled for the inner relief road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Pearl_Jam   10 #9 Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for the replies,  The street names are supposed to refer to Sheffield but it was nearly 25 years ago so maybe those streets don't exist in Sheffield anymore or maybe they were made up for the book?

Plain Talker   11 #12 Posted May 22, 2011 Fenwick Lane certainly still exists in Doncaster, and Leicester (rather than Lester) avenue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
