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 ?

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! Here's who I can remember from Stonecroft Road: Even side No.8? Peter Higgins No. 16 Holdens (Adrian, Janice, Alison) No. 18 Peter Thurgood No. 20 Springs (Adrian, Fiona) No.22 Jerroms (Rick, Lindsay) No. 32 Neil Goodenough No. 36 Keith Briars Odd side (not sure of numbers) Peter Hardcastle David Hope Michael Witherley Andrew Robinson Dane Atkin I'm assuming Rick15, that you're a couple of years or so younger than me - did you live on the odd side close to Witherleys? Incidentally, I don't recall the Polaroid incident - old age is taking its toll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember you , Adrian Holden, Neil Goodenough and Rick Jerome of those you’ve listed I know David Hope posted some stuff on Sheffield History group but I don’t really remember him. I remember now that your dad had something to do with Sheffield Photographic . Weren’t the Coulthards ( parents of our mutual friend Jackie ) involved in some way ?

The old single carriageway days A whole row of thriving ‘ proper ‘ shops When your mum went shopping virtually every day and was gone hours cos she was chatting to shop owners or on the corner with one of the neighbours. Sadly those days are long gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the ‘odd’ side of the road (between the Witherleys and the Hopes). I remember all the names you listed with the exception of Keith Briars. Other names from Stonecroft Road that I remember are Pamela and Margaret Bruce (14?), Richard Ibbotson, Rodney Hague, Chris Atkin (younger brother of Dane), Diane and Helen Brown (neighbours of the Atkins), Ian and David McCallum. The Polaroid incident was at the Thurgoods - everyone was amazed by the technology. Love your picture of The Rise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Briars was probably before your time, the family moved to Birmingham sometime in the late 50s. His uncle Eric had the cake shop on Totley Rise. Margaret Bruce was indeed at No.14 (couldn't remember the surname). Mr Brown was a lecturer at Sheffield University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I well remember the open fields on Back Lane Unrecognisable now One assumes they sorted out all the flooding problems before they built all that housing on there 🤔 Re your other post Eric Briars cake shop Another blast from the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
