pennina Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi. Dreb48, Yes Syd had the spikey hair, also a great sense of humour and a bit wild most of the time. He also liked the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreb48 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi Aries22. The year would be around 1959. Remember Jackie Coulthard and her friends. Not sure which wood you mean. Across Baslow Rd at the end of Grove Rd I think it's part of Ladies Spring Wood which runs down to Beauchief? No idea what the woods called that runs along the back of Trotts and all way up to Totley Bents. Then there's Gilleyfield Wood that's at the bottom of Totley Hall Lane. Perhaps another poster would be more specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreb48 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi pennina. That's exactly how I would have described him. Didn't want to mention the ladies thing previously in case he'd told you you were the love of his life. Last saw him early 70s I think. Was married and living on Totley Brook Rd but am sure it didn't last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreb48 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hi pennina. Just remembered something. Did you know Sid when he was involved in a serious road accident? Him, Wraggy, Fuff and Pete (Ned) were in Fuffs van when it got wrapped round a lamppost on Retford Rd one night. Think that would have been around 67/68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm going to go back further than the fifties. December 15th 1940, our house in Tinsley and some others were destroyed by a german sea mine dropped by parachute during the second Sheffield blitz. We were transported to a church hall on Baslow Road in Totley where we spent a couple of nights. On the first night, the air raid siren went, scaring us all. One of the very kind ladies of Totley assured us we were perfectly safe since the nearest bomb had fallen over a mile away from Totley! How dare the Germans even think of it. My cousin from Attercliffe had his home also damaged beyond repair, and they were with us. Most of us were housed with Totley families for a while, generally with hospitality, but the classes didn't mix well. My cousin and I went carolling Christmas eve, and we earned more money than we had ever done before. Thank you Totley for the great help you gave us so long ago.

buck Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Whats the Dore iin Dore & Totley ?Dore is Dore, and Totley is Totley, why they should be joined I've no idea. They're not even geographically close. Beauchief and Totley yes, but Dore is more uppity, more like Greenwich, Connecticut not Bridgeport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated on this thread, it's probably because the railway station and the golf course are named in that way, Dore and Totley are as connected as Totley and Beauchief.
