Not been on the forum for quite a while ,seen a lot of names I recognise but a bit wierd when I saw my name pop up.

My parents used to keep the Fox House on Shirland Lane until about 1977 before moving to the Queens Head on Attercliffe road which they had 'till about 1982 I think ,Attercliffe at that time was basically fading away ,houses pulled down ,factories closing.My old man came out of the Queens after the death of my mother.

My father now lives on the Charnock estate with my sister Maria.

Yes Pam I remember that. Used to spend a lot of time around the brick field. Remember having lots of fun when they demolished all the pig sties on there - or rather we demolished them for free. My best buddy's family owned the beeroff on the corner of Chippingham St and Shirland Lane. I used to live on Beall St.

 

i thought it was the hewitts who owned the shop on corner of chippingham street and shirland lane. i used to be best friends with their daughter cheryl and they also had a son that was a few years older called david

Just been looking at (anyone from Attercliffe) my late husband was born at 76 Alfred rd, his name was Sam H. Johnson,he had a older sister Eleanor (Nellie),they moved to Canny st, & then to Upwell lane grimesthorpe. I think the square thats been spoke about was in the 1920,s was used as a tossing ring. Round about New Year,s 1933 the Johnson,s & Hampton,s had a cellar grate fight.

My father,his brothers and sisters lived round the Alfred rd area and as a child I was brought up on tales of celler grate fights,gangs and illegal betting that went on when he was young.

The name of this bublic house was the golden ball , it was also called the gilded knacker & was demolished in 1989 to make way for the Don valley stadium. it stood on the corner of old hall road & Attercliffe road, I remember the horse troft just outside Attercliffe baths. I remember the horse, that pulled the stores coperative milk cart ,& the rag & bone man,any old rags for donkey stone.mom used donkey stone for whitening the steps.

Brooksy, theonly Rec I remember at the 'cliffe, was "Carbrook Rec" on Terry Street, beside the Carbrook School. (We didn't go Via Ripon St)

 

It was there when my mum, and her brother and sisters were small. I wonder if it was built at the same time as the school? the Rec on Nottingham Street, (Pitsmoor) was a similar style to the Carbrook Rec, and it, too, set out adjacent to the school.

 

The Carbrook Rec is now the Don Valley Bowl...

I spent many happy hours at Carbrook rec playing on the swing,s do you remember the cast iron rocking horse, any one remember the old air raid shelters that were at the back of CarbrooK school.
