jane2008 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The cottage to Norfolk lodge is still standing. Just behind it is the Sheffield Mencap and Gateway, for people with learning disabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-and-pippo Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I can't help your lack of intelligence and sense of local history, if you are accusing me of being a liar, kindly say so and prove it. Now I suggest that you seek the safety of your monitor, keyboard warrior. No, I am not accusing you of being a liar crookesey, but do not understand why you quoted my post referring to the gate house to Norfolk Lodge ? m&p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullerboY Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Queen Victoria used to stay in a house owned by the Duke of Norfolk when she visited Sheffield. The royal train would pull up in the sidings opposite McDonalds, where there was an impressive arch and a drive leading up to the house, our city fathers have managed to sort that out, in their usual manner. Did she have a big Mac with fries then for her dinner,sorry crookesey couldn't resist that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 No, I am not accusing you of being a liar crookesey, but do not understand why you quoted my post referring to the gate house to Norfolk Lodge ? m&p Because Norfolk Lodge was very close to Norfolk Hall, where royalty stayed when in Sheffield. Might I suggest that you do a little less jumping down folks throats and hurling inane insults, and a lot more listening, you never know, you might just learn something about the city you live in. The smilie was aimed at our city fathers, as stated in the post, you haven't covered yourself in glory have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Did she have a big Mac with fries then for her dinner,sorry crookesey couldn't resist that. I suppose a Burger King would have been better received by her majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullerboY Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Not so much city fathers as city vandals, Sheffield council must be the only city that is ashamed of it's history and heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILLY Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Silly When you say you lived on the Norfolk Park what year would that be. Just trying to establish some dates. I didn't live there until 1966 and that was when the tower blocks were being built so perhaps not much help to you there. I can just remember seeing the cottages and thinking how things had changed over the years we were living in a new block of flats on the 13th floor and I thought it was heaven to have a place of our own. Things sadly went down hill but I still remember how good it was to be able to walk into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
