This is great. I am trying to work up a history of the areas along a proposed walk. South Sheffield Woodland Walk and the pond is on the route. https://www.facebook.com/groups/303109837952309 What a pity they lost Cherry Pond.

Northern Avenue Shopping Centre Arbourthorne

They built on that area Brimmesfield Close sometime, I reckon, between 1957 and 1959, certainly before I moved off Eastern Avenue in September 1960 when I was eight. But did you notice Dave, I walked home every day on my own (with my mates and no parents), as did all the other kids and I was less than six at the time. That's before TV put the wind up everyone by informing them of the dangers out there. Yes I remember the burning tip, there was a gate in the iron fence at the confluence of Northern Avenue and the top of Spring Lane and a pathway led down towards Norfolk Park and a path went to the west towards Arbourthorne Road near to where it met Fellbrigg Road. The burning tip was to the right of the path leading down towards Norfolk Park and it scared the crap out of me and never went on it. I had a mate at school called Steven Greenacre and he had a relative that lived at the farm below Cherry Pond. I noticed you knew Cherry Pond too. Once after school, me and some mates walked to Cherry Pond and got caked in mud as we walked up from there to Eastern Avenue. The worst mud we encountered was from walking up the edge of a ploughed field along the way. We emerged onto Eastern Avenue with what felt like divers boots so caked in mud were our shoes. Our old lady went nuts. -
I remember fishing Arbourthorne pond around 1976, at the time it was open for public angling, also I remember seeing the other pond that was further down the watercourse towards Norfolk Park, we knew it a Cherry pond. Though I never fished Cherry pond/Cherry tree pond, or perhaps I did fish it with a net on a cane, in later years when speaking to some elderly angling friends they assured me that Cherry pond did contain fish, some of a decent size.

I remember one of the two lower ponds it was called Cherry Pond, It stood in area that we called Cherry Woods. Some more photos of the Lum one shows whare the stream can be last seen as it disappears underground out of sight.

You must have been to Cherry pond well before 1976 though Steve. It was filled in 10 years previously for the building of the Norfolk Park Estate.
