is this Hunfield House

its mentioned in this picture as being to the extreme right.

I think the buildings in your screen capture are the old outbuildings to Norwood Grange. The Hunfield House mentioned on the Picture Sheffield photo was on the opposite side of Longley lane at the back of the Piper Houses. Do you have any other references to Hunfield House ? That photo is the only mention I've seen of the name.

Marked with an arrow on this map...

Hunfield - souns like something you should know Gramps

When the Mountenay estate at Shirecliffe was sold back to the manor in 1572, one close or enclosed field was retained by a member of the Mountenay family. The close was known as Hunfield - Hun being a personal name.

The close ia the site of Piper Houses in 1575 it was sold to Nicholas Slatter and he built a house called Hunfield House on the site built between 1579 and 1604. ;-)

You mean this..?

I'd forgotten I had that !! Must get round to listing my books. Or perhaps we should have a sticky thread here on the forum for a bibliography of books about Sheffield ?
