Where was the Indian Village?

[retep]

I was told the other day that Parkwood springs was known as the " Indian Village ".

Though I lived up there from 1948 - 1961 , I had never heard it referred to as such .

Is this what you are referring to ?

 

If so , I would be interested to know and , how it got it's name .

 

It was the Forgotten village.

Ranskill rd was always known indian village If you looked from wincobank you could see the end of two houses painted cream in the shape of a tent with smoke behind them it looked from afar like indian camp

I remember my uncle saying to my aunt that Dolphin Street Attercliffe was called the Indian village and her reply was that he married one of the squaws.

My Auntie Louis (Maskery, nee Mather) died in 1973. She was only in her fourties. Uncle Frank Maskery died in 1979, aged about 56. We don't " make old bones".

This thread reminds me of a road in Catcliffe before the road was raised.I am going back to the 50s and the flooding years there. Well, Orgreave Road, that led out of Catcliffe towards the coke ovens and Handsworth had about 20 houses on one side and the River Rother on the other. That small stretch, which got the brunt of the flooding, was nicknamed California and I can't think why the heck it was. Anybody know?
