Ted Lawton   10 #1 Posted December 3, 2016 As a former resident (next to chipshop Springvale Rd.) I would be so grateful for any memories (and especially photos) of the Big Yard and neighbourhood; Crookesmoor Walkley, Netherthorpe etc.So many memories! Please help make an ageing small Tyke very happy. Hopefully Ted Lawton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Longcol   600 #2 Posted December 4, 2016 Don't know if you've ever come across this on the BBC website.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/73/a8492673.shtml  I'm assuming the "Big Yard" was somewhere near the bottom of what is now (and has been for 40 odd years) Springvale Walk.

andrejuan   10 #3 Posted December 4, 2016 I really enjoyed that recollection on the website. Thank you for posting it. I would love to speak to someone who remembers the area that far back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Asaw   10 #4 Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Yes Don's had the newsagents Pat don was there daughter the Preston twins lived at the opposite side. Got the picture of the chippy somewhere as I used it for my CSE project on Fish and chips. The opposite side of the road from the newsagents was an Asian girl who always use to be in the window and waved when you went passed. I lived on Cross Addy Street. Rodney Smith lived just up Springvale road just up from Powells shop where his grandparents the Walls lived.

I think if you were looking up from the Scarborough pub it would have been Addy street. Sadly another pub now gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
old tup   30 #11 Posted October 31, 2019 Asaw when you lived on Cross Addy Street did you know a couple of old friends of mine Paul and Dave Patchet who lived there with their mother,I think their father died in the war but I am not sure about that!.I just wondered if you knew them,I had a girlfriend further down the hill Vicky Burgin was her name on Addy Street I think it was called,there was a pub on the corner at the very bottom of the road the name I forget!.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Before the present council estate bounded by Ashberry Road,  Addy Street and Upperthorpe was built (late 60's / early 70's?) the Scarborough stood at the junction of Addy Street and Springvale Road.
