Does anyone remember the Oxsprings house near the five arches with it's tempting apple orchard for us Owlerton kids?

I think I do, but I also remember the trees laden with apples in someones garden (almost overhanging the footpath) down the Racker Way!

Hi Madowl

 

I have put an old picture taken outside number 24 lofthouse Road in 1911 onto Picture Sheffield, unfortunately it only shows the back wall of the house.

 

It is of my Dad and his brothers and sisters the Timmins family.

back in the 70's i was brought up on harewood rd and wondered if anyone remembers these old streets or if any of you once lived there.

I remember lofthouse rd aswell which were the street next to ours our back yards used to meet.

I remember your father Kieth, we used to go to the same school, he wore specs and had dark red hair as I remember.

 

I was in the same class at Hillsborough with Bob Dinsdale, Ian Mclean, Walter Staniland and Barry Swanstone. do you remember any of these?

 

Happy Days PopT

[dene marsden 10]

yes i remember most of them but i was only a kid then,saddly my dad passed away 2yrs ago.do you remember his brother lawrence, he was a star!

[PopT 10]

I remember there were a few 'stars' in those streets and even one or two 'star turns' but in my book I wouldn't have chosen a better place to live.

 

You couldn't better the people and I have travelled the world and lived in many places.

 

I have many fond memories of the area.

 

I encourage everyone who knew the area to keep posting their memories as they are magic to read about.

 

Happy Days Indeed PopT

I lived on Cuthbert Bank Road near the corner of Bamforth Street. As kids we used to have hours of fun playing on Khymies? Hill (Cuthbert Bank).
