me-and-pippo 12 #2 Posted May 21, 2013 I would say, it was very unlikely it was a workhouse. Ridge Joe, silver buffer. ((White's Directory 1901) Highfield Alfd. Rd., (j) painter. (White's Directory 1911) Harrison Sidney Herbert, furniture packer. (Kelly's 1925) ---------- Post added 21-05-2013 at 16:51 ---------- And .. Holden John Dennis, (j) tool maker.

During the war, and up until the 60s, that corner of Gregory Road and Cambridge Road, was occupied by a concrete water reservoir, one of many scattered around the city as a source of water to fight wartime fires. It was surrounded by advertising boards. I know it very well because I almost drowned in there. You can just see it at the end of Forster Road, on the right. http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s16277&pos=7&action=zoom&id=19008 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fourbytwo 12 #10 Posted August 12, 2019 Yes, I'm getting my Carters mixed up with my Gregory's, I used to live on Nicholson Place with the corner of the back yard overlooking the SA ground then moved to Nicholson Rd opposite the end of Carter Rd in the 60's. 4X2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fourbytwo 12 #12 Posted August 12, 2019 Hey again trastrick, all is clear again now, I knew Mary and Dorothy although older than me. Mary (?), Ozzie and Carlos went to live a few doors down from us on Nicholson Rd. Thats a good picture of Carter Rd.I've not seen that one before, you can just make out our house on Nicholson Rd. where we moved to after we left Nicholson Place late fifties I reckon. Ten of us squeezed into 2 up 2 down and a tin bath, don't remember how, then moved to 3 beds and an attic when everyone left one by one. I didn't know about the concrete water container behind the hoardings, I knew it as a play area and dumping ground in the sixties, someone once dumped a massive amount of Meccano there. 4X2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
