Thorntons girl Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi there I have heard there used to be a farm owned by the Siddal family on Monmouth Street Sheffield, they had a dairy and a few animals, anyone heard of it? I cannot find any details of it but my elderly neighbour said it did exist. Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Annington Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Looking at this map of Monmouth Street, with Monmouth Lane running parallel to the north, it's hard to imagine where someone would have kept cows in the area. But then Picture Sheffield has this which answers my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorntons girl Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Thanks everyone for your help, it is hard to believe there was a farm there once, another part of Sheffield history lost. I have never heard of this farm in any Sheffield history books, I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History dude Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Was the family connected with the famous Lizzy Siddall of the pre-Raphaelite lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
