Hi Treatment, do you remember there were two metal posts which supported a roof between the old toilets and the school building, we used this as a goal. I attended Sharrow lane school from 1941 until Easter 1952.

I don't, I regret, I left in 1965.

Some good work there, hillsboro..Any comments from the OP?

Apparently not. Do you sometimes wonder why you bother, hillsbro? There seems little point in starting a thread and then never going back to it..

I often think this beechnut especially when hillsbro goes to so much trouble to research for people.There's a chance that the op may come back, they could be away on holiday or something, I'll give benefit of doubt.

If I put a post on like that I'd be checking every day but, that's folks for you.

Regards,

Duffems

Thank-you very much for the feedback. Very much appreciated. The photos bring back memories of a bygone age.

Hi Thorpy, sorry for the delay, just moved house closer to Sheffield and everything seems to have gone adrift. No I didn't have a sister called Vicky or any Grandparents who might fit your description. I lived on Priory Place just along Wostenholm Road hence going to the Sharrow St Johns Cubs who were the 139th if I remember correctly. Also attended Sharrow Lane School so knew loads of kids on Franklin Street, Club Garden etc.

Not sure where they all went when they pulled down Franklin Street

Hi there oscar,what were the names of your mum and dad. I remember going in "The Corner Shop" I lived on Washington Road and went to the schools you mention,although i am slightly younger than you.The thing i remember most about the chap who had corner shop was he had web fingers,had never seen them before and being only young ,well you know. Hope you have luck getting in touch with old friends.

Howdy Thai..Thanks for your text..My dad did indeed have 4 fingers on each hand...his two middle fingers were ' joined' rather than webbed... and to us..(family) was nothing out of the ordinary. He was never handicapped by this at all, in fact his woodwork and drawing skills were better than most. We had the shop from around 1959 untill the demolition ...63 ?? ish ? They were Evelyn and George..Johnson. He had a motorbike and sidecar./. Washington road you say..? then did you know Linda Firth.. who married Peter Mosley.? /and did you have your hair cut with 'Horace Hull' the barber ? cor blimey... used to sit ages waiting for "next" ...Cheers mate ,,DJ.
