eastbank Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Can you say a couple of things about what the tip was like? The Five Arches is boarded up now. The brand-new school, Watercliffe Meadow, on Boynton Road opened to parents/children for the first time today. The grounds aren't quite finished and the rain's been pouring down, but the school building is amazing - clean, modern, bright - and the kids think it's fantastic - so do their parents! It's what the community deserves! the tip was our disneyland,we would rummge through what sheffield was throwing away,build underground dens and have the biggest bonfire in the world...would spend all the six weeks off school either playing on the tip on the nearby railway or in the river don......happy days....and no money in our pockets..

AnnH Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thank you - brilliant! Today's kids will love to hear about your freedom. Their childhoods are very different but not all change is progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_blue_owl Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hi everybody, my grandad and grandmother used to live at no 1 Teynham Drive-George and Ivy Pearson. I was born there in 1953 my mother was Florence (sadly passed away on October 1st this year). My uncle is George Pearson and my aunt is Pauline both still living but unwell. I can remember lady with only one leg she used to get about with the aid of a crutch but I can't remember her name. I can recall a Carol Roney she was a friend of my Aunty Pauline. Used to work witha lad called Lol Bloomingstock (I think thats how they spell it) at Welded Alloys and Stainless Products opposite Wednesday's ground in the early 70's also a tall lad called Phil Hammond off Longley Avenue. Hi Dogman, I believe I was born next door to you (147 Longley Avenue West, house on the corner), two years earlier in 1951 I remember the family being called Pearson. I seem to remember one of them was a policemen and they were always borrowing - for some reason- vinegar. The house on the other side (in Longley Avenue) of us were the Jamesons and they had a daughter named Maureen. We were the Marshall family, Mum & Dad were Ruth and George and the kids were me (Keith) and my sis Sylvia. We moved to Parson Cross in 1954 I think. I remember runnng into the Jamesons drainpipe and splitting my forehead open. There was aguy across the road who had a car (about the only one on the street in those days. He ambulanced me to the Northen Gen in his Austin 7. I remember it so clearly even though it was over half a century ago Best Wishes Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
