Remember Dalton Parva well. My Late Nan and Grandad use to live on Bosville Street so we use to go to the little chippy at the top of the hill.

NB. Liking this thread a lot.

Brin, i lived next door but one from the chippy when we moved from the village in 1959, it was "The Co-op" then. I moved to Parkgate in 1971 from 21 Topfield Lane, Parents moved to Wingfield when the steel strike was on in 1980. What were your GP's surname?

Too true Gm ....Wickersley is like Glasgow in the 70s

But without the humour

I was born just outside of Wedlock but brought up in Parkgate.

Brin,the only Critchley's i knew were from Foljambe drive.

Looks like Rawmarshians might be in the majority on here but might as well be Martians with respect to being from Rotherham regarding IBS's criteria. Unless we hitched a ride from Sir Lewis to get us to Coopers and back in 5 minutes. Born on West Avenue and moved to Hague Avenue in '63 and spent the next 53 years living or visiting there. Still pop in to Casper's for a cuppa when back.

Born Listerdale (not posh that's just where the Maternity Hospital was)

Brought up in Kimmy Park (just across from Quibells shop), then Roughwood Road and Droppingwell
Moved to Flanderwell when I got married (missus was from Brinsworth so it was "equidistant" from both sets of Parents) then to Bramley where I appear to have taken root !

Seen most of UK with work and Rotherham ain't all that bad in comparison to a lot of places

Both Parents Rotherham born and bred
Grandparents a mixture of Rotherham, West Yorkshire and Worcestershire

Was that shop on a corner. In a distant memory in my mind did they call the owner Eric.
