I'm Robert Bloomfield and played with your Trevor sometimes. Was 136 a back to back like 116 was? I remember many of the family names you mention. Hallams kept coal in the bath in their slop kitchen. You have missed Wrights shop off your list it was opposite Bentleys. I remember Beatie Hogg and being told off if you asked for mushy peas and hadn't brought your own basin or indeed newspaper. Do you remember my brother Richard and sisters Molly and Frances? We were all sent to Morley Street school because it was too far to return home at dinner time as my mother didn't want the bother of feeding us.

I Google Earth Greaves Street recently but it is so changed now I cannot make sense of the pictures, I have lived in London for over 30years but I'm still a little Sheffielder. Please remember me to your Trevor.

i guess you would know Irene Beers & Stella Swan who lived on Bradley Place,we were in the same class at walkley school

[RobinLondon]

So that was just below Bentleys corner shop. Were there some very old cottages there with pitch roofs. Probably one up and one down and possibly back to backs?
