Sheffieldish - words & phrases


Recommended Posts

The "Cuckoo" was the actually Prospect View and we always said it was "at the top of the daisy field".

 

I remember Turton (Ginger?) and went to Heeley Bank with Barry (Husky) Fox.

 

hiya,barry fox i worked with him when he worked for the scc, as a bricklayer he was an apprentice at /the time,we did call him husky but out of earshot as he didn't like it, his mate at the time was barry wild, david shaw was an apprentice as well.another was david shaw rip who's family lived on florence place david died on the manchester runway disaster some years ago.

I now live in Orkney and always thought my Sheffield accent had almost vanished but new people I meet often immediately identify where I come from. Many locals and a lot of people from south of Watford still can not understand half of what I say.

One that still springs to mind when it gets cold and likely to snow is "th's a cold wind up Wicker Arches"
