skippy Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 could the street be named after mr slinn the ice cream man?just a thought I suppose it could have been named after him, I only found out that Tasker Rd where I lived years ago, was named after John Tasker who was responsible for getting electricity and telephone to Sheffield, he lived at Crookes house, which was or still is at the top of Sackville Rd. Someone sent me a book called Crookes Revisited, it has many old photo's and history of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyhappy68 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 [quote=Elmambo; It was a large yard with a small fridge by the back door. You could still knock on the door and buy ice cream or a lolly. Thats how I remember it mate. Thats just how I remember it too! Old brown fridge at back door, top slid off Imagine health & safety now ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
