capricorn_11 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi Lisa, I used to live on Fox Hill, the one with the cobbles and railings and I remember Keith Darling very well. He would be about my age and wasn't he some relative of Alan Shaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capricorn_11 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My mother, Shirley Marshall (not a computer-user alas) is trying to trace some old school pals from Pye Bank and Burngreave schools. So.. does anyone remember or have contact with Margaret Stocks, June Woodhouse, or Dorothy Shirley. My mother lived at 2 Nottingham St, opposite the Merry Heart pub. She went from Pyebank to Burngreave and then worked at Walsh's Department Store. She remembers the chippy run by the Goodwin sisters. Mr Speight was the headmaster at Pyebank when she was there. Mom got hit with a board rubber by Miss Cross (for leaving the cloakroom door open). She was in Miss Lavericks class at Burngreave and the head was Miss Yates. Dorothy Shirley also lived on Nottingham St and Margaret Stocks lived on Lopham Street. Mom was born 1934. Any info gratefully received and will be passed on. Mom lives in Southport at the moment, but never forgets her Sheffield roots. Hi Roundhouse, I remember Margaret Stocks, used to live near a mate of mine on Lopham St. I think next door to Ethel Lunn. She got married and went to live on Rock Street until the slum clearance. The name Dorothy Shirley rings a bell but thats all. June Woodhouse I remember, she and her husband had a pub at Wadsley Bridge if my memory serves me right. I must be about 1 or 2 years younger than your Mom so I can't recall her, as 2 years is a hell of a gap in age when in your early teens!
