nan98 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 my family moved on to Carter Lodge Avenue in 1968. My parents still live there,I went to Carter Lodge School until 1973.I can remember coming down the steep hill from Woodhouse many a time on our bikes, at one point there was a very small footbridge you had to go over how we always made it to the bottom in one piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazz070299 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 yea remember the gospel hall we used to go to a sunday school there there were toilets outside the gala used to be on the field every summer The gala was organised by a local charity called Hackenthorpe Old Folks Association. The charity would raise money throughout the year and each Christmas every pensioner living in Hackenthorpe received a carrier bag full of groceries and a 10/- note. ---------- Post added 23-10-2013 at 22:54 ---------- Yes that's correct the gala was a big one I lived near by I remember the Gospel Minister with his bowler hat very nice fellow. The old one was called Mr Gaston but I can't remember the name of the younger black haired preacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boginspro Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Does anyone remember the traveling preachers who would preach and have us singing hymns, after playing football, in the field behind the Carr Forge Dam, on Sundays in the late 1950's. They must have worked in other outdoor locations around Hackenthorpe and Woodhouse. ---------- Post added 03-10-2014 at 19:14 ---------- Can anyone tell me exactly where this photograph is. It has been many years since I saw Hackenthorpe but I have a vague memory of this place which is described on Picture Sheffield as Sheffield Road. http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s19398&prevUrl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the photo is of the field opposite Frecheville Garage where the Meteor jet came down. The narrow path used to run from East Glade Way to Silkstone Crescent. Looks like the Vic Hallam houses (off Dyke Vale Rpad) in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it out on Google Earth and it looks like the path is still there though now poshed up and between trees. I now know why i recognized it, we use to walk up that valley from Carr Forge Road to Frecheville before the Vic Hallam houses were built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookingfat50 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 a hundred or more years ago, wen Sheffield was not like it is today, it was based mainly aroud the town centre, but as the population grew and family's grew there was no room to house them Sheffield had plenty of out lying villages like Attercliffe I can't think of Attercliffe being a village but it was the same thing with norton, greenhill netheredge, and many more then the population was growing with the industrial revolution the council had to build more estates and invaded places like gleadless manor, hackenthorpe, woodhouse, parson cross wincobank shiregreen, all these estates grew out of a need to rehouse people in proper houses with gardens indoor toilets, with no squares of newspaper hanging from a nail in the door and bathrooms. that's why hackenthorpe and many other estates were built x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Many families just after WW2 had their name registered on the Sheffield Corporation Housing list as they needed family homes, husbands had recently returned from the forces and families were growing. Birley and Hackenthorpe Estates were built and occupied 1952/53 and were wonderful for families, brand new family sized houses with bathrooms, dining rooms and quite large gardens where children could play free from city pollution. They were worlds away from the inner city terraced and old back to back houses which families had to endure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nalayensid Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 yea remember the gospel hall we used to go to a sunday school there there were toilets outside the gala used to be on the field every summer The gospel hall was at one time used as part of the village school. The year was around 1955, I went there and had the shortest journey home. It was just across the road. ---------- Post added 23-01-2015 at 11:13 ---------- no, the button factory is on church lane near hackenthorpe village . the hill is known as sally clarkes , between hackenthorpe and woodhouse There was a massive red bridge on the hillside and around 1960 it was still there along with a factory nearby. ---------- Post added 23-01-2015 at 11:15 ---------- What about miss cantor at rainbowforge school not a very nice headmistress ! Laurence hibble was a pal of mine. Before Miss Cantor the headmaster was Mr. Bell. I think he was the first headmaster at Rainbow Forge School.
