Didn't realise I had these, they probably came from Richie Humphreys great uncle .... sorry for the sideways and upside down effort that's going on.

Great to see these, used to have the JH one but went missing with best part of my 1950's Subbuteo set. Was in the box.Didn't realise I had these, they probably came from Richie Humphreys great uncle .... sorry for the sideways and upside down effort that's going on.
Great photos, with proper shirts on as well.!Didn't realise I had these, they probably came from Richie Humphreys great uncle .... sorry for the sideways and upside down effort that's going on.
Three photos from Abbeydale Road, Nov 1988.
The first two show the corner with Marden Road, with work underway to remove my childhood playground- the "cliffs" as we called them. A fair few years earlier, the plot used to be occupied by a long, thin petrol station attended to by two white-coated chaps, with a shot from the Redex can ready at hand. Now it's a hand car wash.

The last photo below was taken from the bottom of Edgedale Road towards town. As long as I can remember, Lowe's has been there.
There also used to be a traditional police box set in that stone wall in front of the trees - one of scores dotted around the neighbourhoods of Sheffield.

With adaptable sleeve length, non of yer long/short sleeves. Mind they got heavy on a rainy day, like the shorts, had to hope the elastic was serviceable other wise they finished around the knees.Great photos, with proper shirts on as well.!
Must be many photos in your JHFW that would be of interest on here. If you have the time, please, Thank you.Second photo. The shops not in view. The first shop is a second hand furniure place. I think it belongs to a Blade.
Further along in the 1960's there used to be a newsagents 'Hassocks' (?) I used to buy Jimmy Hill's Football Weekly from there. Still have them all - not sure if they worth owt.
Great nostalgia as always, however and apologies for being pedantic, but November doesn’t seem right, trees still in leaf & no leaves on the floor?Three photos from Abbeydale Road, Nov 1988.

You make a fair point there DAG. I'm going on what I scribbled on the back of the photos at the time. In those days of course, you still sent films away to be developed, so maybe there's a week or two's leeway.Great nostalgia as always, however and apologies for being pedantic, but November doesn’t seem right, trees still in leaf & no leaves on the floor?

And while I'm here ...Bornablade....in the late fifties, the second hand shop on the corner which you mention was our local bakery. The far end was a bank and the newsagent next to it (Yeadon's) was run by an old couple. They also ran a small "Abbeydale lending library" from within. I've got a couple more pics showing the shops in later years somewhere.
I think Sharps fruit & veg shop is still there a couple of doors up from Lowes?You make a fair point there DAG. I'm going on what I scribbled on the back of the photos at the time. In those days of course, you still sent films away to be developed, so maybe there's a week or two's leeway.

Those are great photos. Don’t apologise for the upside-down/sideways issue - at least they didn’t all appear with a cat’s face filterDidn't realise I had these, they probably came from Richie Humphreys great uncle .... sorry for the sideways and upside down effort that's going on.
Dronny Woodhouse. Even blander than the rest of it! Sorry to people who live there now, but in my formative years it really was Yawnsville Central!TC lived on the Gosforth Valley at that time. Is that Dronfield or Dronfield Woodhouse?
It is indeed. I use it regularly. Great people and Blades (no relations to Billy).I think Sharps fruit & veg shop is still there a couple of doors up from Lowes?
Was there a reason why we went with white shorts and socks for the home kit in 93? This looks so much better.
Good question. I always thought it looked much better with black too. Maybe if we had gone with black shorts rather than white we wouldn’t have got relegatedWas there a reason why we went with white shorts and socks for the home kit in 93? This looks so much better.
I remember it well. We lived on Archer Lane so we used to trudge down Edgedale Road to the shops. Wards the Grocers and Fletchers the butchers.Three photos from Abbeydale Road, Nov 1988.

Dave Powell, Eddie C and John Hope? is it Man U?
TC, not Dave Powell. York City in the League Cup in October 1971. Chris Topping is about to score York's 2nd to make it 2-2. Woody scored a superb winner in the last minute.Dave Powell, Eddie C and John Hope? is it Man U?
