pietro Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi Brooksy, If I come across any photos I will let you know. I knew Chelmsford Street in the early 70's, the large haulage firm, Harry Olivers chip shop on the corner of Worthing Road. I had relations who where moved onto Chelmsford Street in the slum clearances from further down the "cliffe". They thought they had died and gone to heaven. No noisy works and an offshot kitchen too. They lived near the old church/chapel with the wooden cobblestones set into the road. We would always walk down to see what the swap shop had in. There would nearly always be a boxed micrometer in the window. Then down to see what Jennings had in their many windows, thats if you could get near the windows for the stuff piled high on the pavement. This was before Jennings moved across the road.

awoollen Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Originally posted by buck Does anyone remember the Attercliffe roller skating rink. Saturday afternoon was full of kids learning to skate, but evenings there was dancing on skates and some people were pretty professional at it. I thought I was too at 14 till a broken arm and a few days in City General proved otherwise i used like the mugs go racing down one side grab the railings at the bottom and swing back up the other side do you remember the two older women with short skirts and red coates on the rink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
