Guest tsavo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 From memory, Attercliffe Road from town, right hand side past what I remember as the 'Ferrodo' bridge. Sorry to be vague, but can't remember the proper name. Last time I looked, (10 years ago) I only saw rats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jossman Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Salmon Pastures has been fishable for the last 5 or so years and the fishing rites are owned by the Steel Corporation at Shepcote Lane. Since the clean up of the Don it has become good fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest acquiescefc Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I used to work in the fuel depot there. Best job i ever had, wrong time for the industry though. Have some pics but dont have a scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plain talker Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 On picture sheffield, there's some shots, taken from Hyde park Flats, looking over what would become the Parkway, toward Attercliffe. You can just about make out the Salmon Pastures school. On this particular picture https://www.picturesheffield.com/u01778 you can make the school out on the right hand side of the shot, directly above some white-rooved, "factory looking" buildings, about half way up that side. it's a blackened, zig-zag shape, not fantastically clear, because of the distance at which the picture is taken from, sadly.

Guest coffee cup Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 When I attended Shirecliffe College in the 80,s, we had to go down to their annex which was at Salmon Pastures, none of us had heard of it let alone knew where it was. All we were told is it was at attercliffe. I am assuming that the building we used was the old Salmon Pastures school, I remember it was rather old, but had been cleaned up on the outside. I remember there wasn't much to do down there, I don't remember there being a canteen either, so it was either take your own lunch or hop foot it up to a very small chip shop just up the road.

Guest plain talker Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 coffee cup, that's correct, the old Salmon Pastures school was used as the annexe for shirecliffe college. I did my drama diploma there, and we learnt carpentry skills in the SP workshops so we could build scenery flats and set-design!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I remember being told that at one time it was not uncommon for porpoises to follow migrating salmon as far upstream as Salmon Pastures. It may or may not be true though. Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krystyna Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 An interesting experience happened here in 1986/87 if I recall whilst I was on as Social Care Course. There was a ***, quiet, timid, caretaker/cleaner, I forgot his name, who was arrested for the murder of a teenage boy from Firth Park School. There was a link with a *** relationship that may have turned sour, the caretaker had murdered the boy who was found dead on Shirecliffe Lane, between Barnsley Road and Shirecliffe Road. I cannot beleive how 20 years has passed, and wonder if this caretaker has been released, or still remains in prison. I understand he got a life sentence. Does anyone know or recollect any more?

Guest plain talker Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I remember the murder of the young man happening, but I don't remember the subsequent trial, or who was convicted for the murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skeets Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 in ancient times Salmon Pastures was an area where salmon abounded so much so poor people were tired of them hence the name, skeets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 in ancient times Salmon Pastures was an area where salmon abounded so much so poor people were tired of them hence the name, skeets I don't know if it's true but I remember being told there are old apprenticeship documents with a clause limiting the number of times a week they could be given salmon to eat, because it was so common. There was something in the paper last week about how clean the rivers are becoming and the fish and wildlife are returning, including traces of otters close to the city centre!

vox Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 As an apprentice engineer in the early 60's I went to Salmon Pastures (the old school) on day release from work once a week. I remember our "teacher" was called Mr Brammer, and yes the only place to eat at dinner time was the chip shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
