  1. It's Hickleton Hall, half a mile east of Thurnscoe, and was the home of Lord Halifax.

  2. @rover1949 Can't be sure what colour coat, seem to think he had red and green coats. The Boxing Day meet was definitely at Wentworth, I do remember a calendar of meets was released every year so Ecclesfield would definitely be on it.

  3. I think you would need to find relatives of the original Owners/Manager? The library may be able to furnish you with these facts.

  5. Hi Duckweed, I have only seen this request for information today. I used to live as a child at 93, Kent Road on top of the hill from 1937 to 1958. It is now just a grass patch, as all the terraced houses on top of the hill, opposite the Henry Adams Memorial Hall have been knocked down. The house that is in your picture belonged to Mr Jekyll in the 1940/50's. He had a huge plot of land/garden at the back boardering on to the "Doker". He had a large Green House where he grew big Tomatoes. On a large amount of the plot he used to grow his own tobacco. When it was ripe, he took it to his Tobacco press, which he kept in a "Pantry" in the bottom story of the house. He mixed Rum in with the Tobacco to give it a flavour and punch. When you sat in the Bus and he came aboard, he stunk out the whole bus as he soked his pipe, Hi. He had a son older than me ,who joined the RAF as a pilot office and went to Canada for flight training. Hope that is enough info for you. Certainly brings back good memories of Kent Road from my littleboy/youth day's.
