Joanl Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I used to live opposite the Wyvern as well, until about 83ish...thanks for that sezameseeds, I was quite upset thinking it's now a bit of a dump. Glad it's not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezemeseeds Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 its still a nice looking area too, lots of greenery around. all areas have a bad lot. Not the fault of decent people that there are some bad folk living there. some people need to wash their windows and open their curtains a bit more,(take heed maisonettes next to wyvern) but apart from that its ok. not worse than most places and better than some others. I for one would stand up for the valley. we all should. dont' be negative about it. why look on down side all the time. why be a victor meldrew. life too short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I know people living on Middlehay Place and often pop over to see them. Okay quite a few of the edging stones atop the walls seem to go walkabout and some body seems to like riding a mini motorbike down some of the steps in the area that doesn't do them [the steps] much good but I'd never refer to the place as a dump I can think of far grottier places.

playman Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I used to live on middle hay place we moved there in 1961 and it was a great place to grow up, my mum was still there up to 3 years ago until she passed away and she loved the place as we all did, every area has seen the changes over the years with the council funding less and less repairs and rather than dealing with problems they just moved them on. It is the same on many new estates, that because of their newness they can be left alone for many years before anyone thinks about any repairs/improvements/modernisation need doing, like many other places throughout sheffield the lack of youth opportunities like clubs/meeting places/things to do means that some groups will form and find things to do legal or not. Do not completely blame these, try and think how many youth clubs have closed down due to funding cutbacks etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davep Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Craig Tyree still lives in the area, and still goes in the Horse + Groom I often speak to him when I go in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldermanager Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I was born on Gleadless Road at 930, which is now called Southclose farm I think, in 1948. We lived there with my grandparents and my Grandad Bird had one of the traction engines that used to supply the power for the threshing and harvesting in the farms in the area. I think its a home for people with learning difficulties now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
