Spring Bulbs
We hope you enjoyed the crocuses in the verges on Causeway Head Road. They made a cheerful sight to herald the spring. We intend to extend this planting in October and expect the present flowers to increase and thicken out by next spring. New plantings of daffodils in Townhead Road, under the trees, were a success, although they were a little late flowering. We will be planting more in the Village in the autumn. Anyone willing to help will make a difference, and of course any donations towards the costs will be gratefully received, and any suggestions for areas you might like to see planted. Thank you to the many people in the village who responded to the appeal for "snowdrops in the green" and who donated an estimated 8 -10,000 bulbs. About twenty Brownies, Rainbows their Leaders and some parents planted these around the King Snowdrops being planted on the Village Ecgbert Stone on the Green on a beautiful in spring sunshine. sunny day at the end of April.

On the 25th January 1953, a tragedy occurred on the Hathersage Road between the Dore Moor and Fern Glen Farm, as a result of which 3 young people lost their lives. David Tomlinson aged about 23 of Baslow Road, Totley, but previously of Causeway head Road, Dore, shot and killed Phillip Tranfield, a taxi driver of Carterknowle Road, Sheffield, and Grace Fowler aged 18 from Doncaster. At the time she was employed at Fairthom Convalescent. David then shot himself. The accident was discovered by Henry Bailey, a farm hand from Fern Glen Farm, who 'was on his way to buy cigarettes for the farm from The Dore Moor. Henry gave evidence at the Inquest.
