Norfolk Park Flats

[Plain Talker]

And weren't they the newer ones? Last up - first down?

 

I can't remember which order they were built in.

 

I seem to think the three which were on Claywood, and the one on Hanover were the very last of that style to be completed in Sheffield. I believe there were subtle differences in that the ones on Claywood had built-in wardrobes in the main bedrooms. My Aunt and uncles' ones on Norfolk Park didn't have built-in Wardrobes, nor did mine on Beldon Road.(The brown block)

Beeches Drive was blue.

 

Mickley was brown

 

Cliffe and talbot were sludge brown and mustard

 

East bank and spring were a pinky orange and a pale blue.

 

None of them were green

you seem to take great pride in correcting people and trying to prove them wrong .

 

{not good actions for a mod to try to cause conflict or cause arguments}

 

your suposed to settle desputes ect not cause them

I lived in Talbot (brown) in 1995

 

I remember it always seemed windy up there! Especially on the bridge over the road.

 

I also went in the Horse and Lion a couple of times.

 

I used to try and shop in town before getting the bus or it would mean getting off the bus, shopping at the local co-op and lugging the bags up one heck of a steep hill! (it seemed steep to me anyway!)

 

I used to pop to the newsagents on a Sunday, think it was shaped like a 50p piece?

 

I only lived there for about 6 months, the first night I was there someone set the lift on fire! But apart from that despite living on my own it was ok.
