I started looking for Sheffield 'Places' ... got bored after half an hour.  Here are the one's I found courtesy of a useful page on the Sheffield Genealogy site before I got bored - all from c1980, so some may be modern.

(The number afterwards is the postal district - so I'm presuming the smaller the number, the nearer the centre):

Bassett P1. 2
Batemoor Pl. 8
Beldon Pl. 2

Isn't it amazing how you can read someone's RC name and get it totally wrong!

I always thought you were indiapaleale  - I just never read it as India Pale Ale!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

How long have you been feeling this way Paul ??

Have another G & T Lad !!

Though I have to admit ... I always thought Wendi's avatar was a rabbit !!  ::) ::) ::)

We must have "old timers" or something !!  ;D

You're right, Annie!  I think another G&T might just sort me out!  I thought I'd forgotten Sheffield - but it never goes away!
As for indiapaleale, I just kept thinking 'indianappolis' for some reason!
cheers

Grrrr......

What am I going to do with you lot????


Paul.......I guess you never read my reply on the thread "How did you get your Rootchat name." Otherwise, you would know that India Pale Ale was my Dad's pet name for me.....most Dads have sweet pet names for their daughters......mine was a boozer! :P :P :P

Annie....Wendi's avatar is a fabulous kitty kat.....get yer eyes tested!..and have another G & T  ;D ;D

Now....back to this building.......I'm beginning to think it aren't in Sheffield!

I think we have to look further afield......I'll have a drink while I think about this!

 ;D ;D ;D

Yes, I do agree, that we'll likely need to look elsewhere...as our young Buxton photographer was propably just stamping all his postcards as a bit of advertising for himself. I had initially thought his name was written on the back...


I have to admit Paul that I used to just run the whole indiapaleale  together and say it in my headlike it was a whole name...It didn't click for months! Not to mention, I thought she was a fellow...but then most people think I am also... ::)  ;D  J.J.

ich... wait a minute...reading back, the photographer was too recent  to have taken this  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P   :P  :P  :P
