duckweed Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I have been given Victorian legal documents pertaining to Ball Inn and Brewhouse and stable and outbuildings on the Wicker for 1861 and 1868. Are the buildings now demolished? Are there any photos of the Inn or any interesting stories about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckweed Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 This is 68 Wicker and obviously been a pub by the decoration over the doorway. So was this the Ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the named "Willey Street", do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckweed Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I would think so. Obviously it is Messrs Osborne as it is the works they are talking about. I love the way the area for the pub is described as superficial square yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tozzin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have a copy of a map of the Wicker showing Osbornes steel works and the Dannamora steel works of Seebohm & Dieckstahl. The map must be pre 1914 as Seebohm & Dieckstahl changed their name to Arthur Balfour because of anti-German feeling after the onset of the First World War, it also shows Slack & Sellars Saw works, all the furnaces, stables, grinding wheels etc are shown. All the pubs are shown as are shops and courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
