juanitapepit Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help me out- i'm doing a bit of research on the blitz in Sheffield, and I am trying to get in contact with anyone from the brightside/shiregreen area who may have been around at the time and remembers the bombings in sheffield....or anyone whose parents/grandparents were around. thanks!!

bobbie Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Could do with the Zepelin to fly over wincobank now and drop a few bombs. The parked cars in that area are a real nusaince when your trying to get to Meadowhall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The map doesnt really go that far out it doesnt even reach Upwell St so wincobank isnt covered . Where the Remploy place is on brightside lane is about the edge of the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parked cars in that area are a real nusaince when your trying to get to Meadowhall Haha. Most of the cars parked around wincobank stupidly (like in the dip on tyler street) are BECAUSE of pratts like you who so loves to flock to meadowhall to get a pound off Primark tat. I have to say its so much fun trying to get to the doctors/supermarket and having to queue with 1000's of cars all fighting to get to the sales. A five minute journey turning into two hours of hell.
