I lived in Grenoside between 1957 and 1965 and I remember the post office offering children some wonderful goodies. We used to buy bags of sherbert , all colours and red was my favorite. We would lick our forefingers and dip into the lucious powder sucking off what stuck to our fingers as we pulled them out of the bag. I... [more]

I lived in the farthest cottage on the left of this picture for a few years.
It looks exactly the same as it does now (apart from the lack of hundreds of cars and lorries flying past on Penistone Road)

My Grandfather was a stable lad and then coachman for Earl Fitzwilliam. My memories are of stories told to me by my later Mother, and of a wonderful photo of Grandad in full livery with silver topper and wonderful leather riding boots. So whenever I see Wentworth Woodhouse and the stables, I think of what it must have been like in... [more]

My first visit to this beautiful (and my favourite) theatre was to see Ronnie Hilton in the pantomime 'Sleeping Beauty'. It was then I fell in love with the theatre in general and the Lyceum in particular. It was a great loss to the Sheffield entertainment scene in 1969 and I was one of many people who tried to get it... [more]

Barkers Pool to me will always mean the Gaumont (ex Regent) Cinema and the City Hall.The Sheffield Gaumont was one of my favourite cinemas.

He said "RAF Norton, I've not heard of that". He asked around the other passengers and one of then said... [more]

It was here that Henry II and Malcolm of Scotland reached an agreement to hand Peveril back to the English crown, whereupon Henry had the fortress rebuilt and added a keep.... [more]

The caverns at Castleton were, and still are, a popular day out for people from the Sheffield area. Here we have the entrance to the Speedwell Cavern, and Winnats Pass is little more than a track for sheep. Speedwell's history goes back to the 18th century, when a shaft was driven underground in the search for lead ore. The cavern's... [more]

This photograph shows the climb out of Hathersage on the Sheffield road near Millstone Edge. Near here is Bole Hill. A bole was a medieval method of smelting lead ore: it was a stone-built affair with an opening toward the prevailing wind, in which layers of timber and ore were placed.
