dinnerlady Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 All of my best memories are of attercliffe,we lived on Shirland Lane until the houses were pulled down.I remember once me and my friend glued some pennies on the steps inside Banner's we stood on them till they dried then we stood at the bottom and watched customer's trying to pick them up what a laugh but harmless fun.If i had the chance to go back to those day's I would.

chimay Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 would you really Dinnerlady no central heating toilet across the yard no hot water the times were good the conditions were crap I remember the drain in the middle of our yard couldn't cope in heavy rain and the yard would flood. I was always disappointed that it never flooded enough to stop me going to school (Wodbourn Road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinnerlady Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I know we did'nt have central heating but we did have hot water and in those day's we did not know of all the mod cons that we have now.We lived in a yard of five houses one of those houses lived the hewitt's they had a barber shop on Attercliffe Common and we knew elsie as our auntie elsie they were a lovely family we all got along lovely in that yard it was only when the houses started coming empty that I would say the conditions were crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinnerlady Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Did you live just above Freeman's only I can remember your name I am one of the Millington's we have a lot of happy memories and laugh's about all the things my mum and elsie used to get up to.I remember elsie once bought a cup from Rossington's she held it in her hand in her kitchen and said the woman in the shop showed me this it is an unbreakable cup she just held it at arm's length and said watch well she let go and we all looked at each other in shock as the cup broke as it hit the floor we laughed for years after that.
