Some people living in new houses in Heeley and Thereabouts do not know if their present homes were built on a bomb site from the Second World War, similarly, others living in pre-war houses don’t know if their houses were damaged during wartime air raids. Whether or not they were damaged, the people living in them would have had to manage for a time, after the Blitz, without any piped water, gas or electricity. This fact is obvious from the memories of the Blitz that members of the Heeley History Workshop have been collecting in recent months.
Their book to remember the Blitz of December 12th & 15th seventy years ago is to be published in late Autumn at a cost of £7.99 under the title “Memories of the Sheffield Blitz in Heeley and Thereabouts”. Copies are available from members of the group, or from their meetings on Monday afternoons (from 2pm – 5pm in the community room of the Heeley Green Centre next door to the doctors’ surgery at the corner of Fitzroy Rd and Gleadless Rd) or from the Heeley Development Trust.

IT'S HAPPENING IN HEELEY!

Hi
Nicholson Road is largely privately owned but there are just 3 council houses and I live in one. A small problem with aggressive vegetation got me to ask the council to sort it out. They said “its not ours”. Nor did they know whose it was. So I asked the land Registry and they didn’t know either.They sent me a map and a letter saying that nobody even knew who owned the house I am living in. I know the council do not have any Deeds and no record of how they acquired a council house built before council houses were thought of. Four houses were totally demolished. Two rebuilt but two missing door numbers and except for the rebuilds all three council houses are at the bomb site.
I think the council just took them on because nobody had survived. So far I am the only one of the 6 families knows anything about this.
