911wasalie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I nearly killed myself outside those cottages. I had a bike made from bits from the scrapyard but it had no brakes, i could slow down by putting my foot on the front wheel. One day I set off from Fox House and was going like the clappers until I got to Psalter Lane where I shot across the road and up that hill just missing a tram and an old lady.

PopT Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ickle You asked why Charles Peace was called 'Rubber Face'. It was because he had the ability to disjoint his limbs and his jaw. By doing this he looked totally different. By dislocating his jaw he was unrecognisable, also he dislocated his leg joints to become a cripple. The police have a set of photographs of hoi in his various altered states. He also lived in many different houses, I believe at the last count he had at least 9 addresses in Sheffield where he lived. My family lived in a house on Leopold St which was formerly on Orchard Lane where he lived. Happy Days! PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
