Firth Park and its Surroundings Bell Houses demolished c 1925 - I am currently researching local history and collecting material with a view to writing a book about the Firth Park area and its surroundings. Firth Park did not exist before the opening of the actual park in 1875 and was totally rural. Since then the whole area around has changed rapidly over the years, more so in the last 40 or 50 years. If you any information, photographs, memories or stories you would be willing to share with me about the past, please get in touch. This can be about school, work, play, church, the way we lived, housing, the people we knew or simply some story or memory handed down. Photographs can be copied by myself and returned to the owner if required. The main area of coverage will be Firth Park, Page Hall, Fir Vale up towards Firs Hill, Longley, Sheffield Lane Top, up towards the Flower Estate though anything of particular interest just outside these areas may be included. If there isn't sufficient material for a book then everything collected will be deposited in the Local Studies Library in Sheffield so it isn't 'lost'. Thanks
