You have got that right Granny P , she did have a heart of gold.

Are you my cousin,? I will have to give you a pat on the back for working that out.If not then Paul is slim.

GRANNY P,----------- GRIMESTHORPE RD.

DID YOU KNOW A COUPLE THAT LIVED ACROSS RD UP ST A LITTLE,

NOT SURE IF YOU HAD TO CLIMB UP SOME STEPS AND I THINK IT HAD

RAILINGS ROUND THE FRONT BIT OF GARDEN.

THE COUPLE HAD AN ALSATION DOG, I REMEMBER THE CHAP WAS SMALL

AND I THINK THEY WERE A BINGLY FAMILY.

I remember that big high wall, did it over look onto carlise st.

 

I think you will find that over the big brick wall at the top of Sharp St was the old Sheffield Brick Company site ?

[granny p]

Yes the houses you refer to were up a few steps two houses surrounded by railings then an entry and two more houses . The first house was where the Bingleys lived and their married son Harry lived with them,he was the one with the alsation. The next house was the Parnells and across the entry was the Blakes and the Lowes. At the side of the Bingleys was a drop and a wide 'entry' at the top were a row of houses and I think the first family at the top were Elliots. Wards and Hodges lived opposite and their yard backed onto Bingleys back yard.
