Sheffield History Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Kent Road looking towards Gleadless Road. Court No 1 approached via cutting behind vehicles on right.

You probably knocked down the houses where I was born and all those of my very good friends & neighbours. That was such a lovely and lively place to live and everyone was so friendly and caring. I would give everything I own to turn the clock back to those days. I take it you are a Heeley lad yourself and probably in my age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demolition firm I was with, like most of Sheffield at that time it was a shame to see the neighbourhoods destroyed, not a Heeley lad myself, but Sheffield born and bred. To demolish houses that held many memories was sad, the times we sat in attics reading family post cards from the wars was also sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
