Back9Kev   10 #50 Posted February 5, 2018 Now you describe Rankins I think I vaguely remember it, did you go up some steps to get in the front door? I still have Bill Kennons Spirit of Camms and my names on the back in the list of 1973 pupils.  That's right about 2 or 3 steps.  I'm also in the book at the back and get a couple of mention's inside  I must know you but can't recognise you from the tiny picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Back9Kev   10 #52 Posted February 5, 2018  I'm sure its the one about half way down Station Rd on the left, it once had terraced houses all the way down but the middle ones were demolished in the early 70's (not sure why), it was also the scene of a tragic fire in the 80's.  Sorry this is Ashland Rd that I’ve described.  Oh my God! I remember the fire on Ashland Road. Didn't a young child die in it. Knew who it was at the time but can't remember a name now  ---------- Post added 05-02-2018 at 23:24 ----------  The picture is Sheffield Wednesdays current manager, not me  :blush:Oops  Does top4718 give you away if not give us a clue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
