jamesh2o Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hello Sheffield Forum Members, I am trying to find out if anyone has information regarding - The Sheffield / Attercliffe Dolphins. It was a swimming team that my Grandmother ( Doris Hartley ) was part of in the 1920s / 1930s when she was living in Attercliffe. I have tried to find out information but so far i haven't been able to locate any information, so any help would be more than welcome.

hilp4 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hi, I'm sure that the Sheffield Dolphins swam at Glossop Rd baths. I used to go there to swim with them in the '60's, mainly because Jimmy Crawford was in the team and we thought he was gorgeous. I do believe he later had a number 1 when he moved on to the music scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharrovian Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I was in the Dolphins in 1951/52 but it was at King Edwards baths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkee Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hello Sheffield Forum Members, I am trying to find out if anyone has information regarding - The Sheffield / Attercliffe Dolphins. I used to swim with them at glossop rd., & if i remember correctly another place may have been attercliffe. I left england in 1967 & it would have been around 1959 or so when i swam. The guy who ran the club was a friend of my dad's & they both used to work at davy uniteds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatrajah Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I seem to remember that Ron Rose was a keen water polo player who swam at Glossop Road Baths in the mid 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The history of the Sheffield Dolphins evidently goes back as far as 1907-08. Here is an article from the Sheffield Independent of 6 April 1909. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
