What areas of Sheffield have you or your Ancestors lived in?

[Puffin4]

I was born and brought up in Richmond. Father was brought up in Wincobank, Grandfather grew up in Chapeltown and Gt Grandparents lived in Ecclesfield.

 

As I now live in Cambridgeshire, it can be seen that we are gradually moving south!

hiya. my dad was living at a place nearby called bellefield lane, he was born in 1912, he went to st stephens school, he allways had something to say about that area, like pooert meyon and the gents big metal urinal which was like a french one in the middle of the road meadow st, i remembered it when i was young, and jerico st and hammomd hill bromley st martin st ,perhaps they knew each other or the siblings, a few years ago i was talking to a chap i worked with and found out that he was in the same class as dad at school.

The metal urinal was known locally as the Iron Duke,perhaps after some guy from the battle at Port Mahon,pronounced Marn.

Thanks for the comment. ...and I see you are also in Lincolnshire. I don't plan to go back to live in Sheffield, but I do get there about once every year. I've actually lived in Lincolnshire longer than I lived there.
