Guest Steve-0 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi I'm just wondering if anyone can help me, In the 70's my mother left our family home in the north east with me, my brother and sister to escape my father in the 70's,we ended up staying for a year or 2 in Sheffield, At the time I vaigly remember it was refered to as a 'battered wives home. Only recently I've been wondering where it was, is it still there, etc, but at the time I was only about 7, so only have a few memories of hostel like large rooms with several beds in, and a railway line near by which some of the kids used to play on. If it helps jog anyones memory of such a place 1 thing I do remember of while we were staying is there was some kind of documentary or tv program filmed there, and i can remember kids dancing to ' ring o ring o roses' nursery ryme.

ukelele lady Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 This sounds interesting, have you any idea which part of Sheffield it was in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I wonder if it could have been in the Neepsend area or maybe Tinsley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyn 1 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 There was a refuge on Burngreave Rd on a corner. This one I believe - http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s25125&pos=337&action=zoom&id=27570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
