kevstones Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 In the 1851 and 61 census I have relatives living in Coates Houses Greenland in the district of Attercliffe cum Darnall. I can't seem to find any info on what these houses were. I assume they were near what is now Greenland Rd and in 1851 it would have been a hamlet that later was swallowed up by Attercliffe and Darnall as it expanded, but that's just a guess. Any info would be appreciated .... Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevstones Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Looking at page 1 of the 1841 census it appears that the census taker walked up one side of Worksop Road from Attercliffe right to the other end in Darnall at Catcliffe Road and back again. So, it appears that Coates Houses were on Worksop Road at the Attercliffe end of the road. Since 1841 part of Worksop Rd has been renamed Darnall Main Rd Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevstones Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have relatives in the 1861 census John Nixon and his wife Emma living at Coates House Greenland. I have scoured the internet, old maps.com etc but I cannot find any info about these houses 1871 / 1881 John and Emma Nixon are in Huntsmans Houses off Broughton Lane because he had come out of the army and now was a miner. Later these houses were called Butty's Lump. On the 1861 census the registrar has gone to Freedham Hill (Possibly Freedom as he couldn't spell). There's also Freedom Houses, Tinsley Park Road etc I can track his steps from High Street which is now Attercliffe Road I assume > Deakins House > Broughton Court Carbrook > Pheasant House > Clifton Road > Providence Place > Broughton Lane > Sorby Street > Broughton Lane > Huntsman's Houses > Canal Side > Broughton Lane > Swing Bridge > Greenland Cottage > Fisherman's Rest Beer House > Tinsley Park Road > Freedom House > Freedom Hill and finally Coates House If anyone can help then I would be grateful Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevstones Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I did find it in the end after I had made this topic. Getting too old for this. Put Coates Houses in the search box and it came up with nothing, so I thought I had dreamt up that I had previously asked about this subject. Still cannot find anything out. Your link last time led to a directory that stated that the Coates Houses existed and led you back to where I started, the census. I have just been trying to locate their whereabouts with the clues and see if they are on any old maps Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevstones Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I came across this photo in picture sheffield and it adds another clue to where Coates Houses were. I believe that Darnall main Road used to be called Worksop Road. Now only the lower part is around the Don Valley Stadium. But, Freedom Houses / Hill was mentioned in 1851 and 1861 census. This is the blurb from the website: Basford Street and rear of Nos 289-299, which front to Darnall Road (this terrace of six houses originally comprised Freedom Hill with Darnall Cottage, of which the gable end can be seen)picturesheffield s14838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevstones Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Canal Cottages was also mentioned in the census for Greenland. This is in the early stages of his walk.picturesheffield t00514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevstones Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 And yet another clue in my search for Coates Houses, Greenland. The census taker was on Broughton Lane and took the names of the cottages at the Canal Side. He then went on to Greenland, and you have to remember this is 1861 and its open fields and farms. He includes Barbers Farm then Coates Houses, Hinches Houses and Hodkins House in Pottery Lane If I could find the Pottery Lane I may be able to locate Coates Houses Keep trying ....

Edmund Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Kev, Hope the map below may help - it shows Broughton Lane and Canalside cottages at far northeast, Attercliffe Pottery at centre north, with Pothouse Lane (Pottery Lane) running northwest-southeast My own view based on looking at the 1861 census, is that Coates Houses were /was next door to Greenland Cottage (the Listers lived there) which was by the swing bridge. Later on (1886) Greenland Cottage was stated as being on Greenland Road. But I'm not sure which crossing of the canal had the swing bridge - presumably the Broughton Lane bridge?
