Is that you Phil, nice to hear from you. I am new to this site (in actual fact it's the wife that has put me on it). Not usually my cup of tea on computer. I call her sad when she goes on facebook. What you up to? Hope you had a good Christmas and wish you good luck for 2010.

Hey Mick, nice of you to remember, well, how could we forget all that stuff we did together, the terrible twins. (Not forgetting Pagey of course) So much to talk about. It's nearly 1 a.m. here and I start back at work tomorrow but I'll send you a PM soon. I'm sure the missis can work all that out for you. Talk to you soon. Phil

hey, the little hut was run by percy rippon he had a brother who had the newsagent at the top of occupation lane. I worked for harry elam delivering papers before he opened the shop on birley spa lane. Iused to canvas for harry when the estate below the shops was being populated.it was fun because the bottom end was supposed to be percys area, harry told me go and get the paper orders half a crown [12 1/2p] for every order.

 

Hi Buddysbuddy,

I worked for Harry Elam for a number of years, when he had the little hut on Birley Spa Lane, just above where the shops are now, and also after he moved into the new shop. Remember Mrs. Elam and her parents Mr & Mrs. Thompson, and of course Harry's brother Tom, who ran the shop at the top of Gleadless Road? I also went out canvassing for him, but on the Gleadless Valley Estate along with Dave Smalley of Cotleigh Drive.Then of course there was Miles Cooper who worked in the shop for Harry (bit of a pratt). I used to deliver about 144 'Stars' every night and I also collected paper money for Harry on Sundays. Good days eh? My name is Tom Porter amd I lived on Springwater Drive

I taught theReception class at Hackenthorpe Village School from 1967 - 1969 and from 1971-1973. Does anyone remember Miss Russell (1967-1969) or Mrs Lickorish (1971-1973)The Head Teacher was Mrs Hardwick and I would love to get back in touch with her. I believe that she left the Sheffield area and possibly remarried. I kept in touch with Mrs Proctor and Mrs Grey, both of whom died.

I used to live in the silkstone road area of Hackenthorpe and had some real problems with a neighbour who lived there so much that I moved (Must have just been unlucky as all of the thread that I have read seems so nice) - I always wondered if he still lives there or if he ever moved, must have been over 5 years since I moved. Think his name was Kim or something like that (Unusual name for a man) - Hope other peoples memories of Silkstone road are fonder than mine are.

I was in the reception class at the village school 10 years earlier.During assembly I remember the head, Mrs Bulter telling all the kids to get there hankies out and wave them in the air to show you had one. One morning i hadn't got mine, but I had bought a bag of sweets from the tuck shop hut near the telephone box at the entrance, so I waved a paper bag in the air. I got away with it that time.

 

It's funny the things that you remeber.
