retep Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I have mentioned on another thread going down into Wardsend Cemetery from Shirecliffe School about 1945/48- we kids found it fascinating although I didn't know why at the time. There must have been newish graves there because we moved a few flowers on to old graves sometimes probably baby graves. I often have dreams of being there. Quite happy dreams with no scary feelings. Such a shame that it is so neglected, although I think it was never very well looked after even back then. Across the black ashes, and over the White bridge, down the path with the high iron railings, and then you came across this scene, http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=s07562 How times have changed.

nanrobbo Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi retep, I remember ashes and the path with the iron railings- isn't it strange after nearly 60 years having dreams about the place- weird and wonderful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 We used to play up there as kids in the 60's. I remember crossing the white bridge and going up the grass hill beyond.....and sliding back down on old cardbox boxes. My Dad's Grandma is burried in the cemetary. I remember spending hours looking for the grave with mi dad, but we never found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucylac Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 My great grandad and great grandma are both buried in Wardsend, died in the 1940's (plot number in the new part 1053) went looking for it last year but its so overgrown and uneven underfoot had no chance, went again in Feb of this year when all growth had died down, still didn't find it but got a rough idea where it is now, shall be returning again soon to try and locate exact spot.

darylslinn Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Easiest way to get to Wardsend Cemetery is down the road past the greyhound track and keep on going until you've crossed the river and you are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
