So why Grandpa Joe?

Grandpa Joe was born in Attercliffe, Sheffield on the 18th October 1931 and attended Carbrook School in his early years. Grandpa Joe joined the army as a cook after leaving school. After that he Worked in the Rolling Mills at Attercliffe . He then moved on to Cocker Brothers which was also at Attercliffe. He made Springs for cars etc. 

Grandpa Joe married and had 3 children, including Birley Moor Garden Centre’s very own Revd Dave! 

The brand of Grandpa Joe came alive back in 2003, when local author Andrea Walker (Revd Dave’s wife!) authored a children’s book series: ‘Grandpa Joe’. Funds raised from these books are donated to Sheffield’s Children’s Hospital. The series includes 4 books: 

  • Grandpa Joe and the Prize Tomatoes
  • Grandpa Joe and the Great Spectacle Hunt
  • Grandpa Joe and the Big Surprise
  • Grandpa Joe and the Long Journey Home 

 

These are still available for purchase today from Grandpa Joe’s Potting Shed and Birley Moor Garden Centre, with 100% of purchases being donated to Sheffield’s Children’s Hospital.
