South Yorkshire memories
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)
The Grenoside Post Office
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 am drooling already as I recall the yummy taste and laughing as I recall the funny coloured fingers we would end up with! Other delicacies included Penny Arrow Bars, Penny Jacks, Love Hearts, Spangles just to name a few. Oh what fun we used to have choosing what we would have, such simple acts but so much fun.
Childhood
i have some wonderful memories of visiting my grandma in the early 1960's in Ecclesfield, and later moving there to live in 1967. my dad's mum and dad lived in Ecclesfield and every Sunday we would go for a walk around the church area and the woods, then my dad would drop me at my grandmas house while he went to the pub, usually the Black Bull and White Bear. My cousin Pam lived accross the road from my Grandma and Grandad, and we were very good friends and used to play together. We went in the park and also up to the shops where we'd buy orange jublies, they were in a triangle shaped pack and were delicious, especially when it was hot. In the park there was a paddling pool which we played in, and we'd walk up Lady Croft, i think it was called, to find the diamond shaped stone to spit on and make a wish. One day a man approached...

Hanging Out
I remember taking my friend's dog Tiny for long walks in the park, down Crofts Path and up again, going to the Willegar at the back of the dam with my net and jar catching sticklebacks only to be told to take them back by my dad. And going in the graveyard hopeing there were some fresh flowers so I could pinch the ribbons off them for my doll's hair, sneaking round the old empty vicarage hoping not to get caught - I did a couple of times. And eating my jam sandwiches on the swings before going on another adventure. I was out all day long but you dare not let kids out of your sight thease days. They were the good old days and I was only 8. I was called Jackie Taylor then.
Firvale Infirmary
I worked at Firvale Infirmary as a nurse from 1957-1959, but I cannot find anything in the archives relating to these years, does any one know?
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
