Heeley Memories

[Orangepip 10]

We always knew it as Skeltons Walk, whether that is its' actual name I don't know but, as Skeltons was the name of the works down there that's where it probably got its' name.

I think it was also known as Sheaf Bank but, again, that was the name of the works down there.

I think it actually came out on Sark Road but, again, I could be wrong, anyway, it was scary down there!

Duffems

It was Sark Road my childhood friend lived at the house in the yard at the top, and I lived on Guernsey Road. Prior to that my parents had the shop at the bottom of Tillotson opposite Morrison's fruit shop

Thanks for your reply, I am new to this forum and don't do social media but you do seem to remember and retain good memories and my life in Heeley is one of them. I attended Ann's Road school and Newfield Boys till about 1967-8.

Thanks Billy

My hubby left Newfield in 66, but we both lived around Heeley all our lives up to 1998

No he can't remember him but then he was never a fan of sports at school, or in fact a fan of school

Any of these ring a bell?

 

"Quack" Staley, "Huskey" Fox, Dougie Wilkinson, "Keg" Turner, Ted Ellis ?

 

Quack Staley is my older brother, he lives in Birmingham now and has just come through a major operation to remove a tumour from his brain, all the other names I rememberas mates of my brother.

Wish him a godspeed recovery from one time classmate Tony Rastrick.

 

Thanks for the response, it's the very first connection (albeit indirect) I have made with the kids I went to school with.

 

You might have known my younger brother Roy from the Arbourthorne. He had a reunion a couple years ago for his Heeley Bank pals, and our old teacher Miss Benn was a very special guest.

 

I remember going to your house on Sturge Street at lunchtimes, to watch the first TV I had ever seen.

 

Best!

Are they (the Adams) related to the Adams at corner of Myrtle Rd /East Bank Rd?

 

They had a Wednesday connection.
