Just had a look, and indeed I am.

Thought so

I followed the same route as you to King Teds but I was 59 intake so slightly ahead of you .

if you lived on Stonecroft did you know Adrian Holden who was in my year ?

He lived up there somewhere.

Adrian Spring ( of sweet shop fame ) lived on there too ?

I remember loads of King Ted’s pupils lived on Stonecroft Road.  I started there in 61.  Yes I do remember Adrian and his motor bikes; was at TCS with his sister Alison.  Also remember Adrian Spring, his father owned?/managed? Sheffield Photographic, and his gran ran the sweet shop on the Rise;  remember Adrian appearing with one of the first Polaroid cameras - seemed like magic!

That's an excellent photo, brings back memories, thank you. 

No problem , Meltman 

I’ll post some of the others I’ve stored from that period now I’ve worked out how to attach them on here

The shops on Baslow Rd , opposite the end of Mickley Lane 

Outwardly it’s not changed much , apart from the fact that these were all ‘ proper shops ‘.

Note the width of the road and the patch of scrub land opposite just below the Coop

Hi Steve , Hope you’re ok .

The big hedge at the bottom left hides the gate at the bottom of nan’s garden path .

Their prefab was hidden away in the corner

The first is the Coop as it was back then 

Wesley’s Newsagents and the Chemists ( Chambers ? ) are the 2 shops up the road 

The second is Totley PO when it was Perkintons

I’m reliably informed that the Chemists was Hutchinsons .

Chambers was the wet fish shop on Totley Rise 

Easy to get confused 🙄

Can anyone remember the name of the Chemists on the Rise near Springs.

It had a lovely fish tank that used to fascinate me ?
