East Earsham doesn't look much different today...

It doesn't appear to have been re-surfaced

No cars them days so we'd play footy hours on end. After I'd put a window through, as yer do, we found it wise to find another pitch.
Ended up on the street below which ran parallel to Carlisle st and had factories, and the occasional sarcastic copper.
"Aving a good game lads ? Well clear off, shunt be playin round ere "

That church is on Duke Street isn't it...I'm sure as a lad we used to go in there to play table tennis,pool,etc etc...but we had to sing the hymns and pray first.....

A lot nearer the present day, but part of the city’s history nonetheless

I take it the No. 28 written on the runway is the length in metres?

Any old battle-axes tapping on their window and shouting "go and play on your own fronts" round your way?

Felt like it, mate......

Was a Wesleyan Church until around 1968 and living just a few yards away it was very very formal and strict. It then became a Church of Prophesy of God, a Black pastor and congregation who were much more friendly. Can't remember going in there for games etc but moved shortly afterwards.

Go on then, I'll kick it off this time with the cars in the top photo. Renault 10 on the right, Triumph 2000 on the left and the blur in the middle not too sure. Mk3 Cortina perhaps?

State of the art entertainment from my chid hood .. by the looks of the score on
the game it was Utd vs Fulham !!

Look at this map from 1890 (click near the three dams on the LHS which is now Crookes Valley Park to zoom in), and at the top of Sydney Road there is a building marked in brown. No idea what it was though.

If you walk down Northumberland Road and look at the old stone walls, at the bottom, you can still see the holes that were built as overflows between the dams, there used to be an old painting in the Mappin art gallery, showing how the area was when the dams were there, (haven’t been in Western Park museum for ages, it could still be there.

I think the blur might be an Ital, but that would put the photo at 1980+

It was late 70s,we used to go to the hut/ youth club on Bard street run by Andy kilcommons I used to be best mates with a couple of his sons,lee and vinny and we used to go to the church for games but had to sing and pray first.

If an Ital ever achieved so much as a blur I’ll be amazed!

Like shit off a blanket.

 

[vorpal blade]

isn't that Izal ?

The Ital was what ended up on the Izal

Nope. But close.

The cars in the top photo are (possibly) a Triumph 2000 as you say, although it could also be a Triumph Dolomite, it's hard to tell. It is a Ford Cortina for sure, but it's the Mk 2 not the Mk 3. And the other car, the one passing Timpson's, is a Skoda.

I take it the No. 28 written on the runway is the length in metres?

All runways are numbered based on the magnetic azimuth (compass bearing) in which a runway is oriented. There are 360 degrees on a compass rose. Runway numbers are determined by rounding the compass bearing of one runway end to the nearest 10 degrees and truncating the last digit, meaning runways are numbered from 1 to 36.
The opposite end of the runway always differs by 180 degrees, so it’s numbered 18 higher or lower e.g. Runway 9-27 is oriented east-west.

The Cortina Family:

Mark 1

Mark 2

Mark 3

Mark 4

I'll give you the Cortina Mk2, well done

The Triumph is definitely a 2000; my parents had one (LHL416P)
The car on the right is definitely a Renault 10. Check the front bumper and rectangular headlights

Skodas of that era didn't last long enough for photos to be taken

The different arse ends of Triumph's

The Triumph 2000

The Triumph Dolomite

 

[Cerberus Blade]

A Renault 10

Note the very sharp, straight lines and boxy shape of the Renault 10.


A Skoda 100

Note the softer, more rounded, lines of the Skoda 100. Like it's been cast in a jelly-mould.

The Skoda 100 also came with a heated rear window. So you could keep your hands warm whilst pushing it.

The Triumph Dolomite

I'm certain it's a 2000
Look at the position of the rear lights
They're central (up and down) on the 2000 and low down on the Dolly

You're spot on about that. Well done.

I went back and dug out the photo's and answered my own question about the Skoda 100 v Renault 10. Yes, it's definitely a Renault 10 for the reasons you've mentioned and I mentioned too in the photos.

And I think you're right about the Triumph 2000 as well. Oh well! I got one out of three!

(And I thought I knew about cars! Must get my bloody eyes tested!)

The car in the original photo has the Renault fron bumper
It also doesn't have an engine air intake on its rear wing

Ah, a rich vein to mine.

What do you call an open top Skoda?
A skip

How do you double the value of a Skoda?
Fill the tank

What do you call a Skoda driver who says he's had a speeding ticket?
A liar

I’ve just bought the new 16 valve Skoda...
4 in the engine, 12 in the radio

What colour shall I get my Skoda in?
It doesn't matter, it'll go brown with rust after a week

How do you make a policeman laugh?
Tell him your Skoda just got nicked

Have you got a wing mirror for my Skoda?
Okay, seems like a fair swap


I'm here all week....

I didn't realise there were so many collieries so close to Sheffield in those days. Would they have been open cast?

Some were tiny holes in the ground to reach easily mined surface seams, but these were soon worked out. The proper 'pits' were all to the South East of the City and IIRC one at Woodhouse was still going into the 80s. Obviously slightly further afield, Kivvo, Dinno, Maltby, Thurcroft, Shireoaks, Manton, Cresswell kept going into the 90s until Thatcher and MacGregor achieved their masterplan.
