It seems that quite a few people have lived on Cottingham Street in the past. Having recently been to look, it appears that all the houses have now gone.

 

I was born to 152 Cottingingham Street in 1938 and I know that we were "bombed out" during the Sheffield Blitz. I have no recollection of what the area was like and would really appreciate some details. What were the houses like? Were they back-to-back? Were they four to a yard? Did they have front and back doors?

 

Obviously the houses were rebuilt as people have lived there since. Did anyone actually occupy number 152 since the rebuild? Has anyone got any photos of the street?

 

Any information will be much appreciated.

I was born in 141 Cottingham Street in 1954, our house had a small yard just for our house, the yard had a coal house, an outside toilet and another outhouse (I think). There was a gennel running between the yards on Cottingham Street and Westbury Street. The houses further down towards Staniforth Road had four or more houses in them.

Hi Susan

 

Although I remember the Bulldog pub I don't remember the dancing session there. Perhaps if you left the school in 1959 you may not remember me as we would have only been 8 years old and I went on to Woodbourne Road Juniors. I certainly remember your name but I just can't place your face. It would be nice to see the photo if you could put it on forum. Do you see any of the old pupils at all?, I often see Diane Cooper off Roundel Street, she had the most beautiful long, naturally blond hair.

 

Regards

Hi Rose

 

Diane Cooper doesn't ring a bell but Diane Stewart does. She lived at the top of Worthing Road and I played with her a lot. I don't think she is on the photo either. The only person I kept in touch with was a girl called Andrea Cook - married name Powell. She was the eldest of four and had a brother called Alan and a sister called Julie. I even went to her wedding but we lost touch. Then out of the blue, many years later, we met up again at Slimming World! We exchanged Christmas cards thereafter. I then found out by chance that she had died of pancreatic cancer - this was just over 2 years ago. She hadn't mentioned that she was ill in her last card. I went to the funeral at Handsworth church and it was standing room only. Lots of Beatles songs were played and it was a very moving ceremony.

Hi Sue

 

It was actually Eileen Cooper (not Diane), my mistake. However I remember Diane Stewart, we met up at a party about five years ago which was held by Janet Palmer's parents for their wedding anniversary, Diane and Janet were childhood friends.

 

I remember Andrea Cook and I am sorry to hear that she has passed away, even after not seeing people for all those years it is still upsetting to hear news like this.

 

Do you remember learning 'Marion Richardson Script' in school, I remember all the class being provided with a Marion Richardson pen which had a square type nib which was dipped in ink. Its strange how some memories seem to stick out in your mind.
