I Lived There! A memory of Grenoside, South Yorkshire 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 A memory of Grenoside, South Yorkshire 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 |

 Stocksbridge, the War Memorial c1955 (ref: S324309) |
Year: 1956
420 Rimmington Row- My Home A memory of Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire I lived at the above address with my mum Evelyn and dad Jim Hoyle who for a time was the caretaker at the Stocksbridge C Of E school just across the road. My sisters Valerie and Vivien and I lived with with our parents in a one down and two up house at 420 . The other downstairs room of the house contained my grand father's ( Bill Brameld) cobblers and clog makers shop which as a very youg lad I would help out in. He made me a pair of clogs when I was about 3 years old and I would happily clomp along the pavements making the irons on the clogs spark. I remember a Mr Corbridge had the last house on the street and he was the local barber - very handy with the old wax taper and comb. One of my main memories was in 1956 - at the time of the Suez crisis - when I waited at the window and watched battle tanks being transported on the backs of large lorries- they seemed to go on forever.

 Stocksbridge, from the Clock Tower c1955 (ref: S324018) |
Year: 1953
Early Years A memory of Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire I think the road you see near the top right of the picture is Hunshelf Bank. If I'm right then I used to live in a house at the top of the hill with my family. It stood back from the road and looked down on Samuel Fox's. When I was around 6 years old my parents moved us to the Coach and Horses on Manchester Road which is the main road seen in the picture. I hope I'm right. My name then was Sanderson.
