THE familiar bald pate of Anthony O'Connor, marketing manager of Sheffield's Anglican cathedral, is disappearing back over the Pennines.
And he'll miss his roast pork sandwiches!
After seven and a half years in the city he's taking up a similar
job at Manchester Cathedral.
Anthony, pictured, who steered the £4 million fundraising for the cathedral's Community Resources Centre, shared the Mancunian love of pies, peas and gravy.
"My first hot roast pork sandwich contained half a pig. You never got this in Manchester," he says.
Anthony, aged 44, soon made himself known in Sheffield, particularly among business people. Last year he received a Business in the Community Sieff Award, the first recipient in Sheffield.
Derek's reely serious appealSOME time back the Diary put out an appeal by Old Time Radio enthusiast Derek Boyes trying to track down lost recordings of the Clitheroe Kid.
Recently the last missing show from the 1970s turned up.
Now Derek is turning his attention to 1969. He's looking for shows entitled Little Boy Tall Story, If the Dunce's Cap Fits, Clitheroe's Castle, The Kid Who Framed Himself and Right Off the Target.
The hope is that comedy fans may have taped the shows on cassette or reel-to-reel and they are gathering dust in an attic.
