duckweed Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I got email about adding to Christmas memories of Sheffield in Bygone Years. Unfortunately you are asking wrong person. I have only lived in Sheffield for 11 years. I am not even from Yorkshire. I was born in Lancashire and brought up in Newcastle and Glasgow. I have been studying the local history since I came to live here and I really find it fascinating. But my childhood memories are of Glasgow and the lights in George Square so no use to an anthology of Sheffield Memories. Not only Sheffielders find the history of the area interesting.

duckweed Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I would say yes if you spent your Childhood in Sheffield. If we go by what Cricket Team I support which was suggested by a certain politician then I suppose I qualify as Yorkshire now but if you go by which rugby team I support then I am definitely Lancashire. I can't tell you the tiny details of what life was like in Sheffield in the 50s or even the 90s so in that sense I am definitely not a Sheffielder. I am a Glaswegian, Geordie, Lancastrian.

Guest Barbara M Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I also left Sheffield 29 yrs ago but tell people I am a Sheffielder by birth . I went first to Rotherham then to Bedfordshire & I now live in the Bawtry area , so nearly home !!! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
