chimay   10 #17 Posted May 1, 2010 When I was a kid living in Attercliffe I used to ride my bike round the little lump which was just Stevenson Road, Oakes Green, Attercliffe Road and back to Stevenson Road, or round the big lump which took me further afield - Stevenson Road, Brightside Lane, Princess Street, Attercliffe Road and back to Stevenson Road.

PhilipB   10 #18 Posted May 1, 2010 Can any of you older posters remember this.."goin for a walk round lump"...i said it the other day and my grandson said "what"!!!!!... Is it just a Sheffield saying?  Used to be quite a common expression in the 60s, least it was in Park Distrct.

natjack   10 #19 Posted May 1, 2010 My granpa used to say he'd walked around the lump from the pub to home, that was two or three streets away. I think it was a trick of speech used to show you'd not gone a direct route between two points, you'd took a diversion, gone the long way round?
