1958 FRANKLIN ENGELMANN in Sheffield

[Heartshome]

1950s/60s famous Radio Broadcaster Henry FRANKLIN ENGELMANN, was in Sheffield in 1958, being the celebrity guest at an O.A.P concert. 

( It was at a school on Richmond Road I think! You got to the end of Richmond Hall Road and turned down left, school was down a driveway on the opposite side. My Gran & Grandpa used to go to the O.A.P club there, living on Spinkhill Road it was only a short walk away.) 

Gran was an avid listener to Franklin's radio shows, 'DESERT ISLAND DISCS' and 'DOWN YOUR WAY', and when she found he was to be at the concert, she couldn't wait to meet him. As it happened! the Telegraph photographer was there, and Gran & Grandpa got there pic taken with Franklin. Don't know HOW many pics Gran ordered, but  the whole family, all friends & neighbours got one, she was so over the moon.
