Priory Crescent / Ventnor Place

Recommended Posts

I am writing a short book about Sheffield street signs. This is nice - off Wolstenholm Road in Nether Edge. Any idea when Priory Crescent became Ventnor Place (or maybe the streets were re-aligned?) There are other examples of the street name being in the stonework in the Brincliffe Edge area (Chelsea Road I think). Many thanks!

I can't find any definite change of name date, but it appears to have gradually changed with references to Priory Crescent continuing for several years after Ventnor Place was in use.

The first newspaper reference to Ventnor Place I can find is January 1883 (house sale).
