Hi Brooksy,

 

We were sort of mates for a while, your Dad and me, - did the same job at Alloy Steel Rods on different shifts, but I often had to sub as furnaceman so we'd end up on the same shift. He used to drop me off home, or after the morning shift we'd go up to Shiregreen club for a game of snooker and a few jars. A nice quiet, gentle bloke, but a wicked sense of humour with people who took themselves and life too seriously....used to wind them up something rotten - me included

 

Is he still around ?

i played darts for shiregreen club in the 50s a 60s

we came runners up in ciu all england knockout in 66 i think

Enjoy reading all your memories of Attercliffe, brought a lot of my own back. I was born on Saville Street and enjoyed my trips up The Cliff . But Please!!! stop calling the railway bridge Norfolk Bridge. This bridge is in fact on Leveson Street, theres even a plaque on it saying Norfolk Bridge.

No, but I remember looking over that bridge at the canal and the water used to be bright orange.

[brooksy]

yes i remember the canal being realypoluted but as kids in the early 70s we mucked about in it. i work in the spartan works now which back on to the canal and have caught loads of fish, what a vast improvement it made when they banned the steelworks dumping there waste.
