RichardB Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thats a brilliant photo, I love aerial shots, but ... major admission time, I'd never even heard of an area called Woodside ! Had to look it up in my A-Z, still I've learnt something there . Thank You. You'll be telling me next there's a place called Arbourthorne ........

RichardB Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I once woke up in Pitsmoor after a good night out, Lenny Lunch and the Sandwich Wrappers at the Limit, I believe. I awoke, alone in a double bed, opened the windows and didn't know what planet I was on, never mind here I was. I'd never viewed Sheffield from Pitsmoor before, thought I was in Leeds for a while ..... he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrinderBloke Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What was the name of the pub which seemed to specialise in selling cider? Maybe the Tollgate? anyway I was invited by a pal to attend a discount cider night many many years ago, cider was something like 20p a pint for Westons Old Rosie at 8.5%. Not being a cider drinker I recall leaving after the last bus to town was well gone... my mate almost got run over crossing the road... I walked from Barnsley Road to lower Manor after the last bus, to this day I don't recall which way I walked. Amazed I ever got home, sure it was a Wednesday or Thursday night so I was at work the next day Never again, and I haven't Phew! Youth hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plain talker Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'd say 1960, give or take about a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siren Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Pitsmoor That is a terrific pic, I've never seen was as clear although I have got several aerial pics. Have you got any more or can you tell us where you got that one from. I moved from my house on Helen Terrace just after the Sheffield Gale, to one of the "Dutch" houses which are not yet finished so I would say the date is early 60's Siren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrinderBloke Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 ...just after the Sheffield Gale... When was The Sheffield Gale? First I've heard of it. I was born during the freezing cold long winter of 1962/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siren Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Grinderbloke The Sheffield Gale was in Feb 1962. Thousands of houses were damaged and 3 people killed,the wids were said to have reached over 90mph Siren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Woodside from the 1971 AA Guide to Great Britain. The photo must be from either Park Hill or Hyde Park flats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siren Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Just before the Sheffield gale. My house on Helen Terrace is still intact. The house we moved to after the gale, which destroyed the roof of Helen Terrace, was Pye Bank Close, which is not finished. The gale was February 1962.

John Russell Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I remember the Sheffield Gale very clearly. Our house was on Bower Rd, Walkley, and I was awakened in the night by the house shaking as the gusts hit it. The next day I caught the No12 Circular bus to school from Crookesmoor Rd to Nether Edge, and the roads were littered with broken slates and the occasional brick. Many houses had lost chimney stacks and every so often you'd see whole roofs slateless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
