I Lived There!
I lived in the farthest cottage on the left of this picture for a few years. It looks exactly the same as it does now (apart from the lack of hundreds of cars and lorries flying past on Penistone Road) Posted: 07/05/2008 19:16 by Beth Keatley |

The Grenoside post Office
I lived in Grenoside between 1957 and 1965 and I remember the post office offering children some wonderful goodies. We used to buy bags of sherbert , all colours and red was my favorite. We would lick our forefingers and dip into the lucious powder sucking off what stuck to our fingers as we pulled them out of the bag. I am drooling already as I recall the yummy taste and laughing as I recall the funny coloured fingers we would end up with! Other delicacies included Penny Arrow Bars, Penny Jacks, Love Hearts, Spangles just to name a few. Oh what fun we used to have choosing what we would have, such simple acts but so much fun.

Childhood A memory of Ecclesfield, South Yorkshire i have some wonderful memories of visiting my grandma in the early 1960's in Ecclesfield, and later moving there to live in 1967. my dad's mum and dad lived in Ecclesfield and every Sunday we would go for a walk around the church area and the woods, then my dad would drop me at my grandmas house while he went to the pub, usually the Black Bull and White Bear. My cousin Pam lived accross the road from my Grandma and Grandad, and we were very good friends and used to play together. We went in the park and also up to the shops where we'd buy orange jublies, they were in a triangle shaped pack and were delicious, especially when it was hot. In the park there was a paddling pool which we played in, and we'd walk up Lady Croft, i think it was called, to find the diamond shaped stone to spit on and make a wish. One day a man approached us and asked us to go with him to find his puppies, good job we didn't as we didn't know then what we know now! Ecclesfield then was quite different to what it is now, there were no new estates, only the old houses. My Grandma's neighbour, i think Mrs. Bellamy, kept hens in the back in a black hen coop, and at the end of the road (Park Crescent) were allottments where me and Pam used to go to see the pigs. My Dad used to catch the 1 o' clock bus near the pubs and i used to get on a few stops later, waving madly at my cousin, till i saw her next week. Posted: 24/12/2007 13:15 by Elaine Platts |

 Wentworth, c1965 (ref: W233006) |
Year: 1890s
Grandad A memory of Wentworth, South Yorkshire My Grandfather was a stable lad and then coachman for Earl Fitzwilliam. My memories are of stories told to me by my later Mother, and of a wonderful photo of Grandad in full livery with silver topper and wonderful leather riding boots. So whenever I see Wentworth Woodhouse and the stables, I think of what it must have been like in his day. It is such a shame that it is closed, and what a pity the grounds still have the remains of the College with dreadful concrete buildings falling into disrepair.

 Sheffield, Crookes Valley Park c1955 (ref: S108045) |
Year: 1946
We Were 'the Young Ones' A memory of Sheffield, South Yorkshire This photgraph brought instant memories of when, as a teenager, I regularly walked with friends, Barry, George, Eric, and others, from Portland Street (Near the Royal Infirmary) to Crookes Valley Park. There we hired racquets and balls for an hour, and played tennis on the court to the right of the bowling green shown in the photograph. We were 'The Young Ones', full of energy and careering around the court, whilst the old guys played bowls close by, and the park keepers made sure we didn't get out of hand. Now I'm one of the old guys, but the memories come back afresh on seeing the photograph. Last edited: 01/12/2008 10:53 by Derick Jordan |
