[ISZA ⚔️]

Not really an old photo is it?

It’s 2 days old so yes.

Any idea when the pic was taken? If that is the landlord it could be one of my wife's relatives, maybe great grandfather

Not too much to see as it’s heavily wooded and there’s no castle, just the motte. Go through the churchyard (past the flood graves) and it’s up the hill to your right.

Agreed it’s a great place, love walking round there.

My grandad used to farm the land at Rocher Head. If you walk up the path off Smallfield Lane there may still be some stones from the farmhouse left up there.

In the bottom right hand of the photo there s a date that looks like 1885.

Remember Frank and Geoff Salmons coming to our school for a talk in our final year. A school that had 99% Wednesday fans. Every question leading to a Wednesday answer. Gits.

Proper football boots. "You'll break your ankles wearing them 'continental things".
No thank you, these'll do for me. Never did break an ankle.

A lot of different clubs represented amongst that squad.

Yes, when pro. football wasn't fully ruled by outside factions.
It made a more even playing field as I'm sure you and eighty percent of fans realise.

Didn’t know that houses were previously on the right hand side. Any idea when they were knocked down as I can’t remrmber anything other than the grass that is there currently.

As an aside this is the road that I parked on for many years in the nineties upto a few years ago when they decided to make it as difficult as possible to park your car on match days

You can see the backs of those houses in the photo below from 1978, so they were demolished for the widening of St Mary's Rd just after that I reckon.

I’ve got it as when we beat Newcastle 2-0 in our last home game of the season, 30/4/94.

Was that the game Nathan Blake tore them apart

Thanks for that. 78 was my first season but I was only 7. My dad will probably remember in that case

Paul Tomlinson in goal for us? (top picture) Paul and his brother Andrew attended the same school as me (Brinsworth High School) in the 70's.

I recognised it but couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was. Was annoying me yesterday.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Definately Billy Russell !!

January 1962. Just to confirm what you say, Hodgson did not play that day (details are in the 60 Years Ago thread)
