Runningman   148 #2 Posted June 25, 2020 An everlasting memory of running alongside the torch bearer with my grandson ( on the footpath ) from the Hallamshire Hospital along Clarkehouse Road down Brocco Bank then down Ecclesall Road to Collegiate Crescent when my grandson said that's enough ! When we started to run down Brocco Bank I was gob smacked when I saw all those folks around Hunters Bar roundabout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
