Thanks for those 2 sets of photos. They are part of my family history. My parents in their pre-war courting days, like many other Sheffielders, caught the train on Sunday mornings to go hiking in the Hope Valley. And my mother's ancestors in the 19th century worked in one of the mills in the Rivelin Valley (and lived close by).

No, mid eighties. They weren't that good at that time.

Think they played on Mather Rd at that time but I played against them on Davy Uniteds ground.

They did. I think they effectively merged with an AS team to make that step up.

It’s hard to believe an architect designed that and thought it looked good.

Kenny and Dennis

Kenny, Dennis, Ronnie and Joe Mitchell all played for the Bradway pub back in the early 80s (I did too) before the Bradway were good !

Mitchell brothers were all pig fans but a good bunch. Unfortunately Kenny passed away a few years back quite suddenly.
