violetmeadow Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 My son is doing a school project on World War 2. He's 8. He would really like to meet anyone who lived around Meersbrook, Woodseats or Heeley during the war, and who would be willing to answer some simple questions about being a child at that time. He goes to Meersbrook Bank. If you think you might be interested, please conatct us. We would be very grateful! Thanks very much, Annie and Finn.

helbco Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi violetmeadow My Mum lived between Abbeydale Road and Heeley Bottom, which I think is classed as Heeley. She was 11 when war broke out and has told me stories about queuing for water, rations, air raid shelters etc. If you send me the questions to my PM I will talk to her and send the answers back to you this week.

There is an A3 sized book called ''Sheffield at War''. In the back is a pull out sheet where every known bomb which fell on Sheffield is marked with a black spot. If you walk down Woodseats Road/Havercroft Road you can see how accurate it is whereby there are gaps between certain houses, or newer houses which are strangely out of place.
