If it is a district / road of Sheffield I suggest you might get a better response in Sheffield History and Expats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Perhaps it would be best if you came to Sheffield yourself and went to the library and had a look through the newspaper archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 My best man was killed in a motor bike accident in Sheffield, was a collision with a bus and would have been in 1964-1965. His name was Davy, I have never forgotten him. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
