Stuart0742 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Starting a proper Sheffield History Challenge I am trying to compile a list of Stationmaster who worked at Sheffield's once many stations. Many members have directories spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. At a quick count, Sheffield has had roughly 30 Railway Stations. Porters, Signalmen infact any names that can be linked to a local Railway Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 By hook or by crook I'll be first in your book: George Wilton Chambers was the first director of the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, which opened on 31 October 1838. He was a Coal Master of Clough House, Rotherham and was born in London in 1812 and died in September 1904. He came to Rotherham to manage his father's interest in a local colliery on Wortley Road.
