hiya, i remember the old tram system with the trams running down prince of wales road, i can still see them in my minds eye running down the centre where the grass verges are, from town fitzallen square catching the tram either via darnall ,or via manor top, i once remember saying to my aunt about the time difference to paulet rd and she said they were equal, the rd below paulet had a small fire station building at the end of this road, and the shops where my gran would take me, the only ones i recall were the co op and shentalls, and a post office.

Hi, Im looking for my father, Alan Litter, Married to Suzy Littler... Lost contact through change of addresses, and must have searched the whole, international directory enquires, looking for a contact number or address...

Am eager to reconnect and speak soon, Have missed them Massively,

Catherine Littler

Hi Cath. I lived on the Circle just around the corner from the Littler family, who lived next door to the Buxtons on Fretson Road. I now live at Swallownest, and am quite near to one of my schoolfriends, then Janet Littler who I think must be your dad's sister. Susan Littler left her husband, I think, and married a chemist. I may have crossed wires here and be thinking of the wrong brother. I remember going home with Janet a few times. She lived along Attercliffe Common just up from Staniforth Road and the old Banners shop. Correct me if I am wrong. I will try and find out abot your father from Janet. June
