tmelport1979 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hoping you Ecclesfield experts might be able to help me. According to the 1891 census my ancestors were living at Sheffield Rd Ecclesfield and Chambers Houses Ecclesfield. Does anybody have any idea where these are or where the were?

Capt Xot Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Anyone remember Sleney's barbers at the corner of Linden Road. Ibet Nigel does. I think it's still a hairdressers now. As a kid, my dad would take me up and over Sycamore Road, through the park and out onto the Common. The old guy (Sleney) at the barber's had arthritis in his hands and his knuckles and finger joints were huge! Always preferred going there to have my hair cut, rather than to Steele's on Mill Road. Didn't like him. (no offence mate- it was a lonnnng time ago). Nigel- if you're reading this- I'm Gordon's brother. I enjoy reading your posts- so informative, and bring back some right memories. With your permission, I shall tell everyone the story about you winding up the postwoman who used to do The Wheel, in a way that actually backfired on me when I was doing The Common.....

Keniris Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yes, I remember both of these, but, what about the lady hairdresser who cut locks in her kitchen. This was on the hill over to the park (was this sycamore). I think her name was MRs Frost. She had two daughters. I was about 10 yrs old, so 1950. The other barber was somewhere near the Nurses Home, corner of Barnsley Rd. That was where I had my first DA and Tony Curtis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfyre Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Is the Mrs Barber you have mentioned the same one who used to go in the Greyhound with her husband in the 1970s. Can't remember her husband's Christian name off hand, but he was a grand chap. They had a son. Re the barber's shop on the corner of Cross Hill and High Street, did they call the lady Mrs Frost?

The same Lady. Her husband died about 1984 but she remarried and moved to Birdwell 14 yrs ago. The barber at the corner of Cross Hill and High St was indeed Mrs Frost but she only cut the one style....short back and sides. When this shop closed it was taken over by Shields Insurance who then later moved to their present location in the old co-op opposite the Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat with her and her husband on many occasions in the Greyhound tap room, in 1976-7 period, along with Billy Hoyland and a chap who smoked a pipe and lived in the red-bricked houses close to the junction of High Street and St Michael's Rd. Bill? (His wife was called Peggy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
