Hugh Hugh, I have only just seen this, and I thought I would mention that I think Richard A. Sparling, the former sports editor of the Sheffield Telegraph, lived on that road. He died back in the 1970s, having retired nearly 20 years earlier, but I once went to his house and it was very large. What is interesting about old houses, especially those that must have once belonged to the Upper Classes, is to know who lived in them in their heyday. Hope you agree.

Guest Old Canny Street Kid Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Strange your Dad looks quite a good looking fellow! haha This is a picture of the end of Clough Road, number 185 ws the corner house and I think the old lady who lived there in the mid 1950s was called Mrs Headford. I rented a room in this house when I was in my late teens, around 1956. The premises were demolished a long time ago. The house was not far from Queen's Road, and there was a beer off on Leadmill Road where I used to stock up with food on pay-day every week!

Hugh HI Hugh , lf is possible to cover the census covering the years around 1933/6, l think you should find the tenant of 21 Victoria Rd was Robert Revington an old school pal of my father, who also owned the property where we went to live, in1935, through this pal of my dad, l remember going to visit him there, when my dad took him a Scotsterrier puppy which he used to breed, l recall getting a suitable reminder to behave myself, as its a very nice house you're going to.Skeets.
