rubydazzler Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It was probably one of the 'courts' behind the back to backs. I only remember Well Place, which was first on the right going up. Have you tried typing it into Picture Sheffield? It's amazing what comes up on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-and-pippo Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Ran of the bottom end of Well Road (north side) round the back of Heeley Palace, it was below Well Place. Where Ponsfords new building now stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubydazzler Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Gladstone Place, marked on this map Well spotted! And I was right ... it was a court! I think I dimly remember it now, the passage leading to it was just above Hills newspaper shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yes he said it was a court yard kind of place apparently there was only one toilet in the yard that they all shared, he came from a def family they lived there from the 1920s to the late 50s time.
