might call in and say a prayer.

 

A prime site to build houses for the good people of Sheffield wasted !whatever happened to the Grimesthorpe regeneration project ....

Hi Fleetwood, My mum bought both off them items for the home

or pack up but potted meat was our favourite.

I once lived in digs in Pitsmoor on Hanover St, i paid full board not

bad digs but the landlady offered to do my daily pack up each week,

what i got fed up with was beef spread- beef spread- Beef spread

not that i minded so but is all that they sold in shops. :hihi: Brian

 

Did you mean 'Andover Street' Brian ?

It a shame they didn't rebuild in Grimesthorpe, i said many many years ago

if council had built on that land i'am sure lots of people would have

gone back. I for one would have moved back and i had lots of good friends

and Neighbours, That saying -- Where are they now --

Never see anyone now but still lots of good memories. Brian

Thank you Brian and regarding Hanover Street (or Square), 'Potted Meat' would have been a 'double- entendre' back then, but as I don't speak French, I just guessed !

What does all the litter?

What does all the litter?

 

Think that's page hall nowt left of grimesthorpe

[brian1941 11]

When i went over to Grimesthorpe not long ago i walked along

Petre St, talk about litter and rubbish most of them units had broken glass

outside the food stores and car fitters shops.

All that took me down to Gower St and was just the same, but when i arrived

in Gower St itself it was nice and clean and people sat around the gardens.

what has that to do with the mosque

[johnpm 18]

With all that's been said about the demise of Grimesthorpe it's amazing that the Reform Chapel is still active despite all the problems

[brian1941 11]

That part of area has always be fine i spent lots of time down that end,

enjoyed my days i the Boys Bridgade Reform Chaple in the 60.

Had a good friend in charlie wise he helped me out one year too get

me on a holiday to Jersey, i worked at firth browns as did he and i paid

him back weekly out of my wages. Very good chap he was.
