curriechick Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 When I was about 3 in 1961, we moved from Neepsend due to slum clearance onto Hatfield House Lane. My mum was wide eyed with wonder, she said to my dad "ooh it's like living in the country" and to us it was. There were trees and grass and most importantly an indoor toilet and bathroom. Where you mention the cobblers on Hatfield House lane, alongside that where they built the new houses a few years ago was a farm and it was still a working farm when we first moved there I think. Those houses behind the Sicey Pub were known as the cottages and it was reputed that Mary Queen of Scot's was hidden there when she was on the run from Sheffield Castle, so I don't know how permission was granted to pull them down. I went to Shiregreen School starting about 63/64 and our year was the first year that moved to Hinde House Comprehensive rather than to Shiregreen Senior School which later became Concord Junior School.

Padders Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Just curious about Timbuck. After reading your comments, I gather you lived on Shiregreen Lane opposite swings. I went to Shiregreen School and one of my pals was Eric Timms. Haven't seen him since schooldays, but I knew his father Alan Timms. Used to spend many a happy hour in Bellhouse WMC playing snooker and chatting about gardening - must be 20 odd years ago. Alan lived on Shiregreen Lane, so I think must be related. By the way, Alan was an absolute gent. Would be grateful for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived on Hatfield House Lane, at 108, from 1941 to 48. It was a great place to live , the junior school just across the road, a good cricket ground. During the war we had an incendiary bomb in the back privet hedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tara Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I was born on Butterthwate Road 1952 and went to Beck road school. my grandad used to take me to Wooly Wood picking bluebells and we walked over Basket Bridge. I used to watch the Star Walk every Whitsun in Ecclesfield. There was a family called Kerrigan who lived at the bottom end of Hartley Brook Road - Catherine was my friend. I also had friends called Denise Oats and Rita Hudson. When it was a sunny day it was quite safe to play on the field. I left Sheffield when I was about 20 but my family continued to live there Jean and Lewis Gregory and my siblings Sharon Ian and Janine. It would be lovely if anyone knew of the whereabouts of the above friends though as I havnt seen them in years. I also worked in a little grocers shop on Papermill Road called Lintons. Such fond memories of it all .... Would that be Brian Kerrigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
