Lovely Memories Of A Childhood In Hoyland

A Memory of Hoyland.

I moved to Hoyland in 1960 when I was 7 yrs old. Our family George, Lyn ,Jean and Elizabeth lived in a house named Kirk Farm House. It was a lovely old farmhouse that stood behind St Andrews Church, Market Street, almost opposite the post office. I went to Market Street Junior school and had 1 year at Kirk Balk before moving to Sheffield. My name was Heskey and my mother was a nurse but worked as a warden for the older people living around St Andrews Crescent. The house has been demolished now and there is a community centre on its site. Our biggest regret is that we never took photographs of the house and have only a couple of the lawn.
I would love to hear from anyone who remembers our family or our house as we have lovely memories of living in Hoyland.
