rapfan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I lived on the Marchwood estate, just off Wood Lane in the 70`s and always believed that to be classed as Stannington as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 When I was a child I used to get off the number 88 bus at Roscoe bank to visit grandparents. I remember the fields above there. They was no Liberty estate or high rise flats.....very little of modern day housing until you reached the Sportsman.....and entered Stannington. I guess the folks of Stannington rightly feel it wrong to name anything below the sportsman Stannington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls6 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Is that area called Stannington now ? Always has been called stannington! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The sign that signals the start of Stannington hasn't changed either - it's quite large and is outside the Sportsman pub where Stannington Road branches to the right and Oldfield Road to the left. Below the Sportsman pub are the areas of Deer Park, Roscoe Bank, Woodlands and then Malin Bridge as you progress down the hill. It really is quite simple for most of us:) Its always been a big thing between those who live after the sign for Stannington, and those who live below the sign in Deer Park, Roscoe Bank, Woodlands and Malin Bridge.

Owls6 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have never known it to be a big thing. I have lived in the village and lower down and always classed it as stannington. What's the issue? It's all S6 does it matter where we live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there are few 10 bob millionaires with a stick up their arse that always jump on threads like this. I had a mate on Spoonhill, Stephen Lowe, that I've not heard of in many years. I also remember the house around there that sold tropical fish. He had a large building in his garden and had quite the selection as I remember.

They probably jump on threads like this to correct idiots writing incorrect facts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
