Did You Live In Shiregreen?

[awoollen]

Hi Fast, I used to live on Sicey Avenue opposite Butterthwaite Crescent. My daughter lives on Deep Lane. Ted, I've climbed the wall at Thundercliffe a few times.

You're right, I did work for Potts on Papermill Rd. Do you remember what happened to Mr. Potts and his unpleasant demise. His wife was a rather large Scottish woman.

I remember my mother {Nicholson} mentioning someone called Bowes at the Grange. In those days we used to have quite heavy snowfalls which made it a rather awkward hike to the Grange. It was no good going out without wellies on in the snow in those days:mad:.

I'll get the photos set up in a couple of days.

Hi Dogman, it was stevenorfolk who worked at Hemmings, not me. I'm sure he will read your posting and reply to you. I didn't know, or can't remember:rolleyes:, any Bill Ward on Shiregreen but I did have an uncle called Bill Ward but he lived at Frecheville.

Sorry Dogman but its 40 years since I worked at Hemmings, and I'm not very good with names,Bill Ward does'nt ring any bells, the only name that I remember from Hemmings was a chap called "Vinny" he lived on Hartley brook road nr the School,He was the "Cog Backer" when I worked on the Hook.
