SheffMG Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi all! I was born on Cyclops street in Grimesthorpe but we moved in 1970 or 1971 to Shiregreen when they demolished the houses. Does anybody know of any website of old photo's of Cyclops Street i could look at? I've tried the "Picture Sheffield" website and there is only one photo on there. Has anybody uploaded any old photo's onto this forum or any other websites that definately have them? Thanks all! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joto Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi Mark There's a Grimesthorpe Thread already with loads of photo's on this page. http://www.flickr.com Since Dors started the 'Anyone From Grimesthorpe' thread in 2006, many of us have posted pictures of people and places in old Grimesthorpe. Unfortunately, as the posts move on, many pictures and photos are lost or forgotten. Most of those downloaded from Picture Sheffield have gone, I assume there must be a time limit on them. Searching for a particular photo is difficult due to only being able to see the Photobucket address and not the actual photo . Flickr is a photo sharing site where pictures are easily found and viewed. To get started, please click on the above link to get to the Flickr home page. In the SEARCH box type,' cat631' and click Search. Ignore the photos that appear. Go to the top of the page and three options: Photos, Groups, People, click on People. On this page click on the Icon of Grimesthorpe School to 'cat631s' photostream and some familiar pictures. On the right of the page are some more familiar thumbnails or SETS. Scroll to the bottom and click MORE SETS. Here, you will find all the Grimesthorpe Thread photos. To view them choose: THUMBNAIL, DETAIL, or SLIDESHOW options. Please have a look, most of you will be on here somewhere. If you wish to comment or add a name to a photo, you need to sign up to Flickr which is easy and free. Finally, if anyone objects to their photos appearing on here, please indicate which ones and I will remove them. I hope you enjoy seeing them again. Regards, Ralph.
