I remember Beryl Shaw, she was a friend of my cousin Rita Yates who lived on Pickering Road. I think that Beryl lived at number 13. My cousin lived across the road at number 22.

Just glancing through the pages during Covid lockdown.  Cliff Shaw was my best friend, and he now lives in Woodhouse.  Beryl passed away about a year ago.  Cliff's nephew and niece,  David and Lynne Cooper lived immediately across the road from Cliff in the first house above the Hallamshire Steelworks.  I met  up with Dave and Lynne a couple of years ago and I'm still in touch with Lynne as we're both keen Wednesdayites.

Hi there. My great grandparents lived on Pickering St. They worked in the gas works. I am wondering about the history of the area. When were all the houses taken down? And is it because they were condemned?Does anyone know what happened to the whole area? Seems undeveloped and abandoned. Thanks!

I delivered furniture to an address on Wallace rd around 1974, there wasn't a great deal left from what I remember.

Enjoy the pics  .

When I lived on Pickering Road I used to 'knock around' with Carol Wakelin and Eric Boocock and his sister Rita. Also used to be friends with Evelyn Astell and Lynn Debachua (aka Taylor), Linda France who all lived on Pickering Road. I used to go to the Parkwood Chapel on corner Wallace/ Pickering Road.

Just reading through all these posts, and I wondered who you are?  I'm Eric Boocock.
