geocol Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 This is the corner of Petre & Carwood Rd where we used to live, didn't look like this when we were there, but that was before they rebuilt the area, I took this when I visited in 92. Skippy, did you have neighbours named "Brown"? I can't remember either of their christian names , but he was en engine driver on the railway, and worked at the Wicker goods yard (probably amongst other places). (They were friends of my Grandparents.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf2690 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 trev any idea what year the top photo is ? No, got it off Picture Sheffield, the shop before the tram is the beer off that was on the corner of Canada St, one of the daughters of Elsie & Roy that had the shop live 10 mins from us these days.

daftlad Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Before the bus, there were trams that ran from town to the corner of Carwood Rd & Petre St, it was outside of where we lived, although we didn't live there during that time. This is the corner of Petre & Carwood Rd where we used to live, didn't look like this when we were there, but that was before they rebuilt the area, I took this when I visited in 92. I think my dads friends lived on that part of petre st, he was called len beeden, had a wife called Rita and two kids glen and shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geocol Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 HI Geocol.I havent heard from him in a while either so i sent him a private message.I will let you know if he contacts me.he is my Dads brother:o Glen (and for anyone else concerned about Arthur), I have made email contact with him. He's OK (apart from the pain he goes through), Because of such he only spends a limited amount of time online, and has not been on here so much. Geo.
