StatisTYKE Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Is anyone part of it? Does anyone have Polish parents who settled here after WW2. My father was Polish and in Barnsley in 1946. I'm attempting to write a book about his life, so any other Polish experiences/ stories welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I was intrigued by the fact that we have a honory polish consulate. There is more about Sheffield's polish community here. http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/projects/pc/ -- lucasdigital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Don't know anything about the Polish community, but I remember going a couple of times to the Polish Ex-servicemens Club on the corner of Ecclesall Road and Dover Road. I was only 17, and thought I could drink, but the amounts of Vodka these guys could drink amazed me. This was in 1956. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILDEBORG Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My father was awarded some kind of medal from the Sheffield Polish community around the 1980's. It was (I think) for his work regarding the Poles via his post at the Sheffield star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareast Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Oldtimer , At almost exactly the time you were slurping vodkas back in the Ecclesall Road Polish Club , I was delivering papers there ! I remember they had an alsation in the yard adjoining Dover Road , so I never actually went in the yard , just shoved the paper through a gap in the woodwork. I delivered the Star there from 1955 until 1958 and the paper shop was called , 'Manners ' just across the road near the junction with Hickmott Road.

Texas Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I remember that Club too, Oldtimer. I went there on a couple of occasions about the same time as you did. I got in a bad way both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Kiddick Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Dinnington has/ had a fairly large Polish/ Ukranian community, there was the Ukraine Club there - don't know if it's still active though I'm afraid. My aunt (Mum's sister) married a polish bloke, I believe he was a 'displaced person' after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
