If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I have lots of memories of Wath, I was born on Campsall Fields Road. I remember catching the 118 newhill bus for 2p into Wath for buns from Binns and Mum went to Charlesworths for her meat, and Hillards was the supermarket. I also remember Tommy Tesh's shop on the corner where no one dared go in cos it looked scary.
I lived the early part of my life at Wharncliffe Crescent, which had its name changed to High Street sometime during the 1950s. the photographs labelled High Street, and Wharncliffe Crescent in the collection art in fact the same place!
