Thank you for the info on Tinkers Corner, Bradway Road, and the link to the Bradway Bugle, etc. As a young girl my grandparents lived at 33 Bradway Road opposite "The Rec" and I was a weekly boarder at "Dore & Totley High School" Every Friday I had to walk up to Bradway from Totley, we used to go round the woods at the back of Twentywell Lane where there were some large houses with daffodils on the edges of their gardens...I recall having no pocket money so we used to nick daffs and take them home to my grandmother! I also recall the chemist shop at the top of Twentywell Lane and the assistant always gave me a present at Christmas. My uncle owned he garage almost opposite the Bradway Golf Course and his father owned the garage at the bottom of Twentywell Lane. Gosh, that was all a very long time ago!
