Little_Alex Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 can anyone remember the tossing ring on the sky edge.It's mentioned in the "Sheffield gang wars" book around the 1920's I think it said. I wouldn't have thought it would still be a near memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipB Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Remember my dad telling me about them. He was a kid and think he acted as a lookout for when the Police raided them. Sam Garvins Park Brigade and the Mooney gang of George Mooney used to fight over the "rights" to them. This was the start of the gang wars in the 20s.
