Anyone out there, preferably with parents / grandparents who were Heeley residents. Help please in finding out about Stella Hemmings, an old school days friend of my Mom.

Stella would be born approx 1910, could still be alive, now that would be something !

Any info please would be most appreciated.

Rhonda, was Connie the one who used to deliver milk on a bike with a big basket on the front (not Connie the bike) i think this was before she started using her car.Wasnt it someone called Warns that had the milk round. Are you from Rushdale Rhonda im curious to know how you knew my dear old Mom she`s 83 now and still going strong. Shes just had a load of workmen in her Bungalow refurbishing it and loved every minute of it

 

i remember connie of rushdale road in the 70s she used to look after my old black lab for me when i went to work we became great friends she told me some great old tales of life on rushdale road

There was a milkman named Frank Wornes who lived on Albert Road, he used to deliver the milk on a pushbike with a "barrow" on the front. He was well known for calling at several hostelries along his route so customers at the end of his round could receive their milk delivery rather late! You could see his bike parked up outside the Red Lion, Crown (Chesterfield Road) and the Myrtle on Alexandra Road.

Does anyone remember St Stephens on Gifford Road.

It was a sunday school and a youth club on I think Tuesday nights.

It wasnt a church, just a house with a large room upstairs.

Gifford Road was just off Chippinghouse road but at the bottom close to Heeley bottom.

I was born in Heeley in 1966 (cambridge place) both my parents were born there as well - dad on kent road (tony gill

)mom on walden road- june marshall, my grandad was a coal merchant- edwin marshall. My parents both met at Tyzacks on Valley Road which strangely enough is where I bought my first house - right opposite!!! Apparently a few houses on Valley Road were fish and chip shops as well as houses and sold the food from the front windows!! I also remember the little terrace house on Heeley Green that was between 2 shops (one of which was the Herbalists where as a treat mom would take me for a drink (I think it was Vimto or Saspirella) out of the pump on the counter. And Tingles drapers - when I was little that place used to amaze me with all the wooden drawers. Does anyone remember Deans shop on Cambridge Road and Jims fish and chip shop????
