Greybeard   10 #26 Posted August 18, 2004 Abdul...have you done the five-weirs walk ? Or the canal bank from Meadowhall up to Staniforth Road ? I remebmer the area from the 1950s and it's clean and green now - believe me  Forgemasters seems to be the only remaining blot on the landscape and by Attercliffe I have the corridor between the canal and Brightside lane in mind.

vhopkinson   10 #31 Posted August 30, 2004 Hi There, I find the topic on Attercliffe great. I spent a lot of my early child hood there and then went back in my teans., I lived on Westbury St. and they used to have the anual fair and merrygo rounds there. Used to go to High Hazels Park and attend the Darnall Medical /aid parade. Dancing at the Astoria and yes John Banners was a good shop, and the little pie shop outside Attercliffe Baths. My Grandparents were all born on Alfred Road I think the name was Fulwood and Pope. Great memories these  Regards vera p..s. Anyone remember Huntsmans Garden School Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
