Jabberwocky Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I was part of the team who switched the water mains off for that area before they demolished it all. I remember them making Threads there, the wrecked houses were perfect for a war/disaster scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew the place was a scene for Threads...The film crew came to our school..(Hillsborough) too...we had to play in the playground as normal while they were filming...i was never in it but saw some familiar faces.

RoyalRegular Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Unregistered The house on the corner on the picture you posted for yonks was our local chip shop.QUOTE] Mine too! Dick Jow had it when I was a kid, and later it was taken over by Dennis and Annie Davenport (who used to have the "front window" shop on Dutton Road opposite the end of Grant Road. There was also Fryer's (appropriately named) chip shop between the hardware shop and the butchers on Penistone Road opposite the end of Parkside Road, but I always prefered Dick Jow's. He did the best fishcakes that I've ever tasted. We used to pinch Tizer bottles from the Tizer factory opposite the chip 'ole and take them back to buy four pennyworth of chips from Dick's. Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jossman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Remember Fryers Chip shop. I went to Hillsborough school with her grandaughter, Christine Connelly. I joined the navy with a lad from Beulah Road called Dave Hunstone. Another one from that area was Stuart Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought Hillsborough camera aswell' again some great pictures of how hillsboro used to be like.......aah memories:) Hi Rachylou. Where are these books available from - W H Smith? Would like to see some old photos of the area. My family once owned Owlerton Bridge Works which was a forge on the corner of Penistone Rd & Liversey - just near the dog track. Mind you, it was in the early 1860's. Nevertheless, it would still be interesting to see the layout of houses in the area as some may well have been there around this time. Cheers, Jass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
