arrodbo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) In the 1950s I used to travel by tram from Penistone rd to town and then catch a Weedon St tram to Attercliffe to visit my Aunt Violet and uncle Albert, Aunt Mary Ann also lived there. I was 10 years old and made this journey often. Imagine nowadays trying that. My purpose in writing this is that our family lost touch when this generation died. They had 2 sons Michael plus Stan. I know the 2 lads did National sevice in the Suez crisis or the Korean war.STAN worked in the Steel industry and the MICK was a stone mason. Its funny how as you get older thing spring from your memory bank. I am curious to know if anyone knew of them. There surname was BERRY and I remember them livin on or near Zion lane.

Runningman Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Very quiet Sunday's, read below ! Boys Brigade marching, loved the sound of the band. Large groups of cyclists on Abbeydale Road going out into Derbyshire Mom and Dad telling me I must keep quiet out on the road, no playing football in the street. 2 spinsters living close by used to have hymn singing on the radio turned up full blast Sunday dinner always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgdave Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Winter time sledging all day and going home with red rings around your legs from your wellies. Summer time , school holidays and playing playing football or cricket until it was too dark to see the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo beach Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Apart from being hit in the head by pennies thrown by rival fans on the kop Yes, and what about the cushions that you could buy to make the wooden seats more comfortable, which then doubled up as missiles to throw on to the pitch in response to a poor decision by the referee or a dirty tackle by one of the opposition's players. echo.
