I think maybe talking after the homes closed wasn't it a girls remand home for a while??

 

Most definately a girls remand centre.When I was growing up on rochester drive I had a friend who lived in one of the houses,his mother was a matron,I think there were about two or three girls to each property, a house matron and her family.I think that's how it worked anyway.

In 1944 the 249th Sheffield Scout Group was there until 1947. Neckerchief was Emerald with Scarlet corner apparently.

Spent a lot of my youth on the spider park on crimicar playing fields also fulwood cafe and the woods,just wondered if anyone else on here had done the same,probably 69-72ish.Fond memories.Each time I visit home compared to then there does'nt seem as many kids about now......Nintendo syndrome perhaps.

Hi, When you talk about the cafe would that be opposite the

Lodge moor Hospital, was it stood back from then a bus shelter.

I remember a bungalow or house that sold tea, ice cream and

other items and that was in the late 40/50s when i lived up

Fulwood.

I was referring to forge dam cafe to be honest.The cafe you mean was lodge moor cafe opposite the hospital gates.My mum bought it in early 72 selling it again in mid 73.

There was also a little shop that sold pots of tea and ice creams at the farm just as the road drops to the top of Wyming Brook

Remember that very well,it's now a private house once more but all through my growing up years it was as you say a good source of ice cream.My mate has wyming brook farm he's the third generation,spent a lot of time up there and used the little shop regularly.

Well I know it's not a new thread but it's apt so I will use it. Anyway I was talking to a security man up at lodge moor hospital after it had been closed, and he reckoned there were big airaid shelters with one exit exposed when they dug out the area for the new bus turn-around up there. I wonder if anyone knows anything about them ?
