Hi Norton girl. My husbands Aunt and cousins were the Mathews and his grandmother Travis lived at number 15.

I am sorry to say that his Aunt died three years ago, she was in her late ninety's, this may seem a strange statement but she enjoyed very good health until the day that she died, it was quite sudden. Peter died last year.

 

Take care, Cynthia. Canada.

Amelia was my husbands Aunt and David Travis his cousin. Joan still lives on Cobnar Rd.

We came to Canada in 1982, of course we still miss Sheffield and going into Derbyshire as there are no really old villages here with tea shops and little gift stores, on the other hand life is good.

We live about 40 minutes east of Toronto. We can leave our garden chairs, table, barbecue etc. out on the patio and know that they are not going to be stolen. Walk past a group of teenagers and they will say "HI" and move so we can get by them, eat out about 3 times a week and get a starter, main dish and as much tea or coffee as we can drink for approx 6 pounds.

We miss following the Blades, although we do get 3 televised games each saturday morning, going for fish & chips and eating them on our way back home and of course Henderson's.

 

Wherever I live I will always be a Yorkshire lass and my husband and I have never tried to lose our Yorkshire accents.

 

Take care, Cynthia.

Well as its my work break and eating a bacon butty I thought I would have a look at this forum my colleagues keep on about all day while I do all the work.

And the Heeley thread was this a blast from the past, I used to live on Artisan View.

Does anyone remember a bloke called Walt Staniland he grew Cauliflowers like footballs, he wouldnt tell anyone his secret.

I remember the Siddals, and read posts by Tosh his sister Jayne was the object of my desire when I was about 13 and one of the brothers chased me off from outside their house when I was hanging around waiting for her, might have been you Tosh, haha

I married a lass Kaz, who was a mate of your Bird Tosh, they lived under the bridge on Heeley bottom and I still see your ex she comes in the shop every morning for bananas and a yoghurt shes either a nurse or a stripogram cos she wears a uniform, shes still hot mate, very tasty, I know you did not marry her cos shes not called Siddal according to her name badge. . Its like a mass exodus when she comes in our shop, all the lads come out of the back room to the shop floor to ogle her. Me and Kaz split but the old days were the best, snogging under skellys bridge, thats when it was safe to walk under there

Were there two chip shops on Boynton Street one at the top and one at the bottom.

I remember Andy Bullen and his sister Susan, and Susan Bennet who lived a couple of doors away from them, on Tillotson Road, they were a bit older than me though.

And Tommy Newcomb the milkman, where have the years gone

Hi Cynthia Pleased to hear that you are a Blades supporter. You may remember me if you want to Bramall Lane, I used to walk round the pitch selling programs (wearing hot pants) I was also secretary of the supporters club for 5 years, I was one of the original members of the Junior Blades with Ken Furphy, and ran the under 18 Junior Blades Team.My son Mark and I went to all the matches at home and most of them away. I went with the club when they went to belgium and holland for friendly matches.

When John Harris had his Testimonial at Bramall Lane I was honoured to be asked to be the Secretary for the event.John was a very good friend.

Her husband looks like a model all armarni suit and saville row shoes think he is Italian as they talk in what sounds like Italian sometimes. Its like a mass exodus when she comes in our shop, all the lads come out of the back room to the shop floor to ogle her. Me and Kaz split in late 80's but the old days were the best, snogging under skellys bridge, thats when it was safe to walk under there
