Wish I could go back for just one day, even a rainy Monday

The councils through the years have certainly changed Sheffield but I don't think for the better

I loved growing up in those days, especially like the parts showing Crooksmoor and the "Ponderosa"

Telephone boxes, you couldn't get near one for a couple of hours after 6 o'clock, because that's when the off peak rate started!

I left Sheffield, my favorite city, in 1952 with my parents. I still miss Sheffield in 2023.. Thank you Alasdair for "Sheffield in the Rain".

Are these Stanington Flats on here. Our house overlooked them from Manchester Road when I was a young boy

The picture of the guitarist on the stage - where was that taken, was it a school?
