I lived in Blackstock Drive from 1955 to 1981. When we first moved the nearest bus was at Graves Park and I used to walk there and back every day - not so bad during the summer but murder in the winter.

 

Used to enjoy going in the Bagshawe when it was a proper pub i.e. before Yates. Spent many happy hours in the Norton Oaks cricket pavilion drinking an excellent pint of Mansfield.

 

you most remmember cobbler joe lived on mawfa drank in the baggie and the cricket club had some brill times in there like you say when it was a pub

I remember Cobbler Joe from Mawfa. He was a regular in the Baggy and he used to do my dad's and my shoes. He was a character.

I remember a Kay or Kaye Bunting.

I grew up in the tower houses on Overend Way next door to Kay and Andrea Bunting. Their dad was called Henry, but I can't remember their mums name. Both girls were older than me though.

Be nice to see the real names of people posting so that we can recognise you. I am Jarvo, lol, most people up there know me by that name. Who remembers the Valley Juniors?

Yeah Mark I had a Vespa 125 primervera model 1978. I bought it from the motorcycle shop that was close to the Vespa/Lambretta shop that was run by Guido.

 

We had a great time on the Scooters in circa 80/81. I was mainly hanging out with a group of scooter boys from the Manor Liam, Nial and a bunch of others really good guys .We set up "The Sheffield Scooter club" and would meet at the Brincliffe Arms in Nether Edge. Sometimes it would be a good meet with as many as 40-50 Scooters. It was a time when nothing was really organised and fragmented and a lot of Ego's. There was a couple of spinoffs from our group one was some guy from rotherham and another group of younger guys than us. We did the runs to Scarborough and skeggy and one or two other meets. Then in the autum of 81 I was involved in a crash on Blackstock Road. It was quite funny as I was travelling down B.R a car came out and ran into me. The number 43 bus was coming up blackstock road just above the gaunt pub direction Norton and Michael Belk ( Belkey) wa sitting in the front seat upstairs. He told me later that as the car hit me I was thrown into the air and for a moment he thought the momentum would take me through the front window of the bus. I guess we where all prone to a little exzageration. Never the less the scooter was a write off and so was I for a short while. But I got well and the scooter was sold for scrap.

 

Hows it going I remember you and the crash ! They were good times, Liam is having a do on Saturday the 5th of Feb at the Byron Nether edge me and a good few of the lads Joe Gary Steve etc will be going

Come down it sould be a good night
