Anyone here from Attercliffe?

[Joanl]

I lived on Newhall Rd, I went to Carbrook rec often. I can see in my minds eye the park-keepers house, the nursery, the loos by the entrance, the tennis courts, the sign post in the flower beds, the swings, the rocking horses and the roundabout things but for the life of me, I cannot remember how we got there once we turned left at the end of Newhall road and down towards Carbrook:suspect:......

My family lived on Westbury st. and I went to Woodbourne Rd.school. My nannan lived on Selbourne St. We left Sheffield when I was 7 so I don't remember very much, though. We did have a tin bath and I remember playing in the shared yard with Susan Grimshaw and her sister and also a liitle boy - I think he was called Philip Gefan. Sadly, Susan died - I remember that still. She had a hole in her heart.

kev always used to tell me about is childhood down cliffe he did tell me a lot of names but forgot a lot of them. i know he used to hang around with paul mirfin, his best mate was hodgy, stuart hodgkins or hodgkinson something like that. i remember he used to know beals and fowlers as this sticks in my mind with eastenders as he said its like being down cliffe, his family the slater his mums the mitchells and he knew beals and fowlers from cliffe.

 

i met him after he moved on manor but we used to go down cliffe a lot in the early days before we married and he showed me all around where he used to hang around ect, telling me about all the things he got up to and his friends.

i remember he mentioned wraiths, none of other cant remember

 

yes paul mirfin used to live back off fish shop bolldock was his grandfather.

 

kev used to say about all the wall jumping into peoples yards and about going on the cut and making rafts, he fell in cut and nearly drowned when he was 5 if it was not for his duffle coat hood and a man getting him out.he used to say they where great days down cliff always something to do and somewhere to go and always plenty of friends

 

if he was here now he would be chatting to you about them days and he could go on for ever when he got chatting about cliffe
