Hope this gets the ball rolling. sharrowyank Gotcha' yes !.. I was in the 139 th. cubs.. then scouts.. for many years.. I played drums in the band.. We lived on Franklin street... and I do recall the 'Star of Brunswick'.. 'The Lansdowne'.. 'The Earl Grey' .. 'The Washington'...we did em' all. Met most of my pals at Sharrow St. Johns... then went on to play drums in the Sheffield city scout band .. where we had a brass section and read music. Cheers from.... DGJ.

We moved out in 66 ish. to leave the piano upstairs where we lived. I would imagine a lot were just bulldozed into the foundations and are probably still down there today. Cheers DGJ.
