CF8M Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Funny about that we were just recalling the Sheffield pub life and the Kershaws guys that came round with their baskets of Sea Food. The one I particularly remember was a Guy called James Curley. He was a friend of my brother and back in the early sixties his Mother ran a Bakery on Darnall Main Road, just up from The Bradley well. I had run into him a few times in the Seventies and early Eighties selling his Cockles and Mussels in the pubs. Unfortunately he had fallen on hard times and any job was a job! I wonder what became of James Curley does anyone Know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Vinny in the Vine at Mosborough, also saw him selling scarves etc at Wembley on a few occasions, grey haired and friendly, bit of a cheeky chappy type.
