When I was a young lad growing up in Sheffield there were lots of sayings or remarks which at the time I just took for granted but when I think back I never heard them outside the Sheffield area or later in life. The remarks were mainly directed at children and I can't remember many now but a couple spring to mind. "Frame Yourself," one of my mothers regular comments directed at me and probably meaning smarten up or stand straight. Another was "you little buggeroo" needs no interpretation! Anyway, there are I am sure plenty of Sheffield History members who can add to this and I look forward to having my memory jogged with a walk down memory lane.

You keep beating me to it, Steve 😄 I was searching Kelly's 1957 when you posted that info, and I have just copied a link to Google Streetview with the intention of posting it here.

Hello I just finished writing the code for this Watermills of Sheffield page, it's an interactive map showing all the locations of the watermills listed in the book 'The Water-Mills of Sheffield' by W.T. Miller published in 1947. Tap on a mill for its name, and tap on the name for the description from the book. https://www.g7smy.co.uk/history/watermills/ I've written it for use on a mobile phone, for when you are out and about, and on this the GPS can be used to show your location. It will also work with a desktop PC. Thanks Karl.
