Memories of South Yorkshire

Little Hills / Pit Lane

Born 1937 Kiveton family. Remeber getting on the bikes with my friends, riding over what we called the little hills down the pit lane to the tunnel top. Carrying an old clothes horse and a blanket, that was our tent. Take an old frying pan to cook the tiddlers we had caught. It was great. Having a game of kit can and spinning the wooden tops. Scrumping old Mr Thompson apples at the back of Dawson Terrace, him chasing us with a big stick. Sitting under the table listening the bombs dropping over Sheffield. I could go on. Things were good then

Doris Webster

Help, Please,
I am having a very frustrating time trying to trace my mother's movements. I know she was at the school in Kiveton Park in 1927 in Standard IV. She arrived there from Worksop and returned to Worksop one year later.
When at Kiveton Park she was apparently living at 11 Railway Terrace, with a family called Melbourne.
I have no photographs or other memorabilia of my Mum because she died of TB in late 1941.
Part of my problem rests in the fact that there were apparently two girls called Doris Webster at the school at the same time and of a very similar age. Is there anyone out there who remembers these girls? I do know that the other Doris went on to become a nurse.
It seems that Kiveton Park has come under various bodies as far as records are concerned so if anyone can help with information I shall be very grateful.
Many thanks

James William Lewis

Hi, I hope someone can help me with some information on my grandad James Lewis, all I know is he was born in Bangor in or around 1852, his father was Henry and mother was Susan. He came to New Zealand but I don't know what date. He married a New Zealander in 1897, his dad was a fisherman, that is all I have to go on. Please can someone help? Cheers, Collene, New Zealand

Moving to A Brand New Council House

Lodge Lane 1950
| More about this photo

I was born on Aston Terrace (leading down to Brookhouse colliery) in 1956, lived there till I was 3-4ish yet I can remember running down to the bridge to get there before the steam train passed under the bridge, memories I still treasure along with the friends I knew there, many of them also moved to the new council estate. Many of them no longer with us but not forgotten. One of the strongest memories I have is of sliding down the side of the tip on the blade of an old shovel we found, and playing on some old cranes left to rot at the top of the terrace. Could go on for ever but getting to the end of my word allowance. Would like to see pics of the old terrace if any exist, I ain't found any yet (mum - Margaret, dad- Jozef). If you have any pics of old Aston Terrace I would be glad to see them I.M me ok ?
