vhopkinson Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi There, I find the topic on Attercliffe great. I spent a lot of my early child hood there and then went back in my teans., I lived on Westbury St. and they used to have the anual fair and merrygo rounds there. Used to go to High Hazels Park and attend the Darnall Medical /aid parade. Dancing at the Astoria and yes John Banners was a good shop, and the little pie shop outside Attercliffe Baths. My Grandparents were all born on Alfred Road I think the name was Fulwood and Pope. Great memories these Regards vera p..s. Anyone remember Huntsmans Garden School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbow2411 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I know that most of us that post here are shall we say in our prime and that "in our day" it seemed ok to use terms such as "nig nog" but I really do think that we now understand that that sort of name calling is unnecessary and very offensive. I was born and brought up in Attercliffe and my Mom often used to take me to the Globe and Pavillion. I remember the times we went to see the hollywood musicals and how much my Mom loved them .Both of these cinemas were taken over and used only for Indian films but if this had not happened they would have had to close down because they were not getting the bums on seats for the mainstream films. Nothing stays the same for very ever, only our memories and even they fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
