South Yorkshire memories
My Grandparents
My grandparents come from Elsecar and Wentworth, in Mill Lane, you may have seen the Roundhouse,Can`t miss it really just up from Pondside. When my real grandad died my grandmother remarried a man named Stanley Horn from Harley. Now from the age of 13 he used to walk from Harley through Mill Lane.along Pondside as they called it and go to work in Elsecar Pit. he did this until he got married in 1947 and then only had half of the journey to make. He did this until he retired at the age of 65 having done 52 years there. When I stayed there as a child I would meet him or go with him to get his wages. We used to go into the corner shop and then he would go into the pub opposite, not sure but I think one of them was called Thickets. All this was unknown to my grandmother of course. The names in my family were Wilkinson, Dean. my uncle Laurence (Lorry )... Read more

This is not really a memory but since putting my memories on here one of my great uncle Lorry`s daughters Sheila went to Canada just after the war 1946 . Well guess what !her eldest daughter has got in touch with me. She has always been a name that my mother used to talk about. I always used to think about her as we were the same age . Now we are in contact by email. Brilliant my email is Suecclassic@aol.com if any other relatives come to light .
best wishes to you all Sue
Cross Keys Black Bull
Can anyone tell me when the Black Bull and the Cross Keys got pulled down to make way for the Roundabout and junctions of Kendry, Ardsley, Wombwell and Lundwood. It was at the Cross Keys where my wife and I, had our reception, where we'd also spend a few hours within the Black Bull. Just a few yards from there was Wombwell Lane, of which we were living within a guest house. It was whilst living there within the attic, on a Sunday early afternoon, we were somewhat disturbed by a huge whistling sound which sounded like a jet plane going by at low altitude. What followed was maybe four loud supersonic bangs. There was some debris of what sounded like clinking metals hitting, and then sliding down the slate roof. Believing that it was a jet plane that had crashed somewhere at the back of the house, we were quick to get dressed and dash down the stairs, where we saw our landlord somewhat startled by the sound. It... Read more
Melville Street
I live on Melville Street and would appreciate any photos of it or any streets nearby. Even the part of the High Street at the bottom of it. I want to know what it used to look like. Thanks.
Wood Bros. And Stuff
I do not have a photo of the actual glassworks buildings but I do have a group photograph of the staff that worked there. The photo is dated 1936 and includes my mother Vera Gillis (nee Parkin). I lived at 44 Windmill Road, went to Wombwell Modern School and worked at Darfiled Main from 1959 to 1964. I left Wombwell in 1966 to work in Nova Scotia, Canada where I stayed until 2000 when I moved to the States. Currently living in Kansas City, MO.
I went under my middle name Barry when I lived in England but changed to my first name John when I went to Canada. My dad John (Jack) spent most of his life working at Darfield Main along with his brother George (Juddy).
As a lad we used our own creative minds (which is what is lacking today) playing silly games on the street with such names as Jimmy Leonard, Ron and David Wilkinson, Peter Drable, Michael Bretton, Tina Sedons, Maureen Gill... Read more
Wombwell 1949-1960
Born in York Street, moved to Rimmington Road. I had friends at Barnley Road Primary, St Johns Junior and Barnley Road Methodist and the Brownies there. Remember Joyce Brooks, Sharon Guest, John Mason, Linda Lapinsky, Pat Thornley. From Windmill Rd and Linda Savoury. I became a "Black and White Minstrel" played Coronation Street and Crossroads. Married and live in South Africa. I remember the Friday market, the wool shop, the off licence and Mrs Logde's shop for sweeties in York Street. Would love to connect with old friends peterw@zamail.co.za
Pleasant Memories

Shopping at Hillards, the Co-op, Woolworths & Tesco's which later became Shoppers Paradise. "The Feast", which was a yearly event, and many more nice memories.
