Downsunder Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I went to the village school in the 50s, then moved to St John Fisher's. Remember well the post office and it's YZ chewing gum machine, Spencer's farm (he delivered our milk in his green Fordson van). Do you remember the story going round about the fields behind the school being haunted by fighting soldiers? Lived on Birley Spa Lane - no. 232 - then. Lived at 236 Birley Spa Lane in the 60's. Pages lived at 232 then. Staffords at 234. My mate Mick Darwent live at number 230, I think his parents still live there. I went to the village school as well, then Rainbow Forge then Thornbridge. Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gladys clark Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I lived in Dronfield but my friend at school was Catherine Grainger who lived in Hackenthorpe we went to Notre Dame late 50's early 60's. We used to go to Frecheville, Nether Edge, City Hall and the Sheffield Students Union anywhere to dance even sometimes the Locarno think it was at the end of the Moor. If 'Clancy Grainsweet' (her alias ) is out there she may like to know that Lynne Clark has been in touch with Dympna Danaher who now lives in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsunder Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Johnny Stafford lived next door to us in the mid-to-late 50's on Birley Spa Lane. I remember the family's black Truimph Mayflower car parked up in the front garden/drive. I was 4-10 years old when I lived there. The Derwents live at the other side. Michael was my best mate. The Rat !!! Mick Darwent told me I was his best mate. We went everywhere together, went to Skeggy on my motorbike and sidecar, went camping at Foxhouse, played football and cricket on Carter Lodge playing fields. We lived on the other side of the Staffords from about 1955 until about 1967. I won't say who I think you are but did you have a sister called Heather? If not, you must have cleared out before we arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Lived at 236 Birley Spa Lane in the 60's. Pages lived at 232 then. Staffords at 234. My mate Mick Darwent live at number 230, I think his parents still live there. I went to the village school as well, then Rainbow Forge then Thornbridge. Small world. I always wondered what happened to John Stafford. He and I used to be 'math wizards' at Carter Lodge around late 50's. I left the school in 1960 aged 15.
