The Sheffield / Attercliffe Dolphins

[jamesh2o]

Hello Sheffield Forum Members,

 

I am trying to find out if anyone has information regarding - The Sheffield / Attercliffe Dolphins.

 

It was a swimming team that my Grandmother ( Doris Hartley ) was part of in the 1920s / 1930s when she was living in Attercliffe.

 

I have tried to find out information but so far i haven't been able to locate any information, so any help would be more than welcome.

 

Sincerely

Hi, I'm sure that the Sheffield Dolphins swam at Glossop Rd baths. I used to go there to swim with them in the '60's, mainly because Jimmy Crawford was in the team and we thought he was gorgeous. I do believe he later had a number 1 when he moved on to the music scene.

I was in the Dolphins in 1951/52 but it was at King Edwards baths.

Hello Sheffield Forum Members,

I used to swim with them at glossop rd., & if i remember correctly another place may have been attercliffe.

I left england in 1967 & it would have been around 1959 or so when i swam.

The guy who ran the club was a friend of my dad's & they both used to work at davy uniteds.

I seem to remember that Ron Rose was a keen water polo player who swam at Glossop Road Baths in the mid 1960s.

The history of the Sheffield Dolphins evidently goes back as far as 1907-08. Here is an article from the Sheffield Independent of 6 April 1909.
