South Yorkshire memories
Deepcar, Manchester Road
I lived in the Gables House on Haywood Lane from the age 6 to 10 years. The period was during the early 1950s. I believe the car on the left of this photo may be my father's parked ouside the Gables house. I attended Deepcar C of E infants and junior school during this period. My father was Works Manager of the two General Refractories brick works on Station Road, Deepcar. The junior school head master was Mr Garwood and the infant school head was a Ms Trueman. I played football on the Don Field which could be accessed off Manchester Road opposite the bottom of Haywood lane. Before moving from the area in 1958 I also lived on Station Road in the house sited within the Lowood Works factory. I had many friends in and around Florence Buildings. The sports activities on the Lowoods Ground were a regular interest and the area holds special memories. Although a recent visit to the area confirmed that the Factories and Florence... Read more
Deepcar During The Second World War
I lived in the cottage next to the King and Miller and the Co-op stores, Deepcar then was a peaceful village. I attended Deepcar C of E school on Carr Road like most of the children in Deepcar. We attended St John's Church every Sunday, and maybe went to a movie at Stocksbridge. My mother did her weekly shopping at Stocksbridge market and shops, the daily shopping at the Co-op. In the summer time when we were on our school holidays we spent them with the mothers taking us on picnics on the common at bilberry-picking time, or if the weather was really good we were taken to the Tinmill to either paddle in the river or play on the big stepping stones. This was a great day out for all of us. Then of course the war came, we did not do much different at first, but after the Sheffield Blitz we were more aware of what might happen. We moved from the cottage while I was at Stocksbridge... Read more
Tinmill Cottages
I was born at the Tinmill Cottages, I remember there were two. My mum was called Dorothy Roebuck. I remember the well where we got our water and the toilet near the river. I remember going through the woods and the stepping stones, my Uncle Bryan used to take me, I was very young. I have found one photo of the cottages. I have been on Google Street Maps but it looks like the path over the river to the cottages is now closed and overgrown.
Early Years
I think the road you see near the top right of the picture is Hunshelf Bank. If I'm right then I used to live in a house at the top of the hill with my family. It stood back from the road and looked down on Samuel Fox's. When I was around 6 years old my parents moved us to the Coach and Horses on Manchester Road which is the main road seen in the picture. I hope I'm right. My name then was Sanderson.
420 Rimmington Row- My Home
I lived at the above address with my mum Evelyn and dad Jim Hoyle who for a time was the caretaker at the Stocksbridge C Of E school just across the road. My sisters Valerie and Vivien and I lived with with our parents in a one down and two up house at 420 . The other downstairs room of the house contained my grand father's ( Bill Brameld) cobblers and clog makers shop which as a very youg lad I would help out in. He made me a pair of clogs when I was about 3 years old and I would happily clomp along the pavements making the irons on the clogs spark. I remember a Mr Corbridge had the last house on the street and he was the local barber - very handy with the old wax taper and comb.
One of my main memories was in 1956 - at the time of the Suez crisis - when I waited at the window and watched battle tanks being... Read more

My mother was Lucy Rogers who came to Stocksbridge at a very early age.She went to a local school of which l would like know the name. My father Harold Kenningham was in the army and we moved away 1949. My mother was previously married to Stewart Lee and they had a son, Denis William Lee, born 14/1/1940 at 14 South Road, High Green, Ecclesfield Road. I would like any information of him or his family. Thank you Catherine Hamlyn (nee Kenningham)
I Lived There!
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)
