Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Woodwaaard]

Have you considered that Bert knows that it's not United but doesn't know which team it actually is?

 

[Bert]

Thank you for that articulate and intelligent response. It really answers the question I am asking.

Bert started a different thread a long time ago.
He had people like you in mind.

Hi HighfieldBlade - I lived just nearby the Earl in Guernsey Rd until leaving for Australia in 1964 at age 15. In 1959 after sitting my 11+ exam the education department in their wisdom sent me to Marlcliffe Intermediate school which was on totally the opposite side of town near Hillsborough. Every school morning at about 8am I would catch a bus outside the Earl into Pond Street after which I would then catch another one to Middlewood and school. I first re-visited Sheffield in 2001 to find the whole area had been demolished and vey little of what I remember remained - the Earl of Arundel being a exception.

I think it would be The Wednesday Football Club, not SWFC.

No local interest, somewhere in the States, it was the year that got me

My old school, sadly it's no longer there. Lovely building inside and out, what a sad demise it had.

True, but it wouldn't really be a kop without it, just a normal stand.

I grew up on Alderson Place just off Bramall Lane.
I'm sure you'll remember that the playing field in the background of that photo used to be all houses. They were demolished in the mid-70s, I think.

Same area. Looking down Asline Rd from Bramall Lane end. White building on right is now James Cycles and the houses next to it demolished and is the Doctors now. On the left still showing houses which is the Lowfield Park/Sports pitches now.

Seeing that squad of players does send a shiver down my spine, not in a good way.

The ground is believed to be Highfield Road. Why were they photographed together?

In the 1970s my dad would park his car on that road before our home games.
