Where's Head for Housleys?

St Pauls' Parade, not too long ago. Oct 1988.
Many will know that the standard imperial measurements ran along the length of the wall on the right of the second photo.(some now re-sited on Cheney Row).
Whenever I pass them they always remind me of my late 1950's junior school arithmetic exercise book back cover. Times tables, rods, poles, perches, bushels and pecks - knowledge which was not all useful - drilled into me and remembered to this day.
The most interesting fact I learned from that page was that if you stared at the red cover for long enough and then looked up, everything was green. It made the rote learning marginally less boring anyway. Having said that, I can still do sums without instinctively reaching for a calculator every time. So summat must have sunk in.

Where's Head for Housleys?

Wasn't Head for Housleys further to the left, just out of shot?

Come to think of it you're probably right.

We need Silent Blade to confirm with a photo.

So what year was it taken down or moved. Iconic for many a young lad stood on the kop along with the letters referring to the scores, programme required.

I'm there as a nipper.

My Dad and Grandad's default position on a Blades goal was to to stand up and shake hands with those around.

Good picture did you capture that on your “I phone”.

 

[Paisley Blade]

My seat was A85

I was on Row D , bang behind the goal. My first season (70/71) I didn't even have a ticket , my Dad just carried me in on his shoulders and I'd squeeze between him and my Grandad ( cue Hovis music ).

It felt pretty special being in that stand for the Ipswich game last April, having sat a few seats away for the Watford game in May 71.

Probably way off but that looks like last match that season vs Norwich. 2-1 Blades with Deano and Agana at their best. Agana coming back from injury and scoring.
Roof had started falling off earlier on, so instead of repairing it the rest was removed.
Might have been the last we saw of TA, sold to Notts County £750k on orders from the bank.
If I've got any of that right I'll be a Mahout for Chancers elephants. Over to you

I believe the White House on the corner of Cherry Street was owned by Daniel Brammall. The Anchor Brewery was owned by a man called Tomlinson, I think. He had over a hundred pubs tied to his brewery, the Sheldon being one. He came to a very tragic end at a young age, by stabbing himself to death whilst mentally unstable, in those days he would have been classed as a lunatic

Sheaf House And Grounds Bramall Lane

Can someone help me out with history of this. Listing says built by John Younge but I have a member of Bramall Family. Also says the grounds were used by Sheffield Wednesday in one book. So how far did grounds reach? Was this before Bramall Lane stadium was built? I have a newspaper article sayin...
