Rachylou Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Can anybody remember the ragman coming round the streets with his wheelbarrow? He used to just shout ...Ragmaaaaaan...and then we used to go running out to him with any old clothing and get a balloon in return. I lived at owlerton back then in the seventies so not sure if he went anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalRegular Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I miss playing football on the rec in Hillsborough park. We used to play from early morning til it went dark with games varying from 2 a side to 15 a side- and there wasn't dog muck all over the place like there seems to be now. Although thinking about it, there was the odd crunchy white dog turd........what happened to them? and what did dogs used to eat them days that they don't now? Ho Hum................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Roger Gould's toy shop at Banner Cross. A suburban toy shop that was stuffed to the gills with great stuff, from those rubbish practical jokes (fake ink blots, pretend fags, black face soap, tea spoons with holes in them etc) to Action Man stuff, to bikes, to novelty rubbers, to... well, everything you could want. I loved Redgates of course but it always seemed to be somewhere you went to gaze in awe, rather than actually spend money. So in the scheme of things, I probably blew far more Christmas and birthday cash in Roger Goulds than I ever did in Redgates. No wonder it shut!!!

tanith19 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I miss the Hornblower pub..... and the old Brushes building (with the haunted tower). Ask in a few months and I'll be able to add the Yorkshire Grey pub, which will no doubt have been demolished by then to make way for another sad modern build that might last 20 years before someone thinks better of it and pulls the whole thing down.
