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 :D

 

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.

having grown up on attercliffe in the 60 s andearly 70 s it was sad 2 see how it declined in the late 70s. recently tho the area seems 2 be given a new lease of life, with alot off investment going in down there do folk think it mighnt take off again.

i had forty years playing darts in that area so i know what you mean i retied from darts in 1990 with carbrookhall

when i first played we had three leauges

when i retired there was only seven teams

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
