If you can stand all the adverts and clickbait, this is quite interesting - it includes a plan of the terrace and the (infamous) Dyson house https://www.thestar.co.uk/retro/retro-is-the-the-place-where-infamous-sheffield-murderer-charlie-peace-killed-1-8541046

Hello, I have a old knife that I have been trying to find out about. I have managed to figure out that it is made by John Yeamoans Cowlishaw, it is silver and made in Sheffield but I'm struggling to figure out its exact age. I will attach the best photos I can get till tomorrow so hopefully someone can help!! Cheers Liam

Check out the cars in this photo!! The Sheffield City Centre illuminations of 1964 look amazing!

Lots more detail in this thread - includes plans of the area:

John Yeomans Cowlishaw blew his head off with a shotgun in the water-closet of his home, Tapton Cliffe, Fulwood Road on 23rd January 1895 aged about 65. He had been depressed following the death of his wife two years previously. He was a nephew of John Newton Mappin and continued with Mappin's pearl business in Norfolk Street, subsequently moving to Bakers Hill and the Arundel Street, where he was a pearl cutter and manufacturer of silver fruit knives, For 22 years he was a director of the Sheffield and Hallamshire Bank, Chairman for the final 10 years. He was also Chairman of Mappins Brewery in Rotherham, and a director of Newton Chambers and Company, and a shareholder in Joseph Rodgers and Sons, Norfolk Street. He was involved in the establishment of the Mappin Art Gallery, which was based on John Newton Mappin's art collection. His uncle, J.N Mappin bequeathed him his shooting lodge at Moscar, which explains the presence of guns at his home. He left 3 sons, John (Arundel Street works), Frederick (Rotherham brewery) and Frank (in London)

There's a picture here from 1961 http://www.thebannercross.co.uk

That's going to be the gennel on the extreme left (of the last picture) that was subsequently built over

I realise that not only did the pub extend up the hill, it swallowed up a couple of houses down the hill too. I'll get another angle to try and illustrate that. IMHO it looks like the pub was rebuilt in the 20's/30's. Can anyone date the original photo ? Edit: There you go. Maybe it didn't swallow up more houses down the street...

It is indeed still The Banner Cross

There is still the alley way to the right of the pub. This exists to the right of the Banner today so that ties in. Didn'nt Charlie Peace have some association with the houses to the left of the pub. Can some one do a screen shot from Google Maps to show us how close the two are/were? (Not sure how to do it myself, that's why I ask).

Looks more like Fargate to me, looking up from near Coles Corner, with work going on at Marks & Spencer.

The slope of the road looks like where the Banner Cross is, but the buildings are different.

Where do I start with this ?? Mobiles have their place and have made so many lives easier and indeed safer. However, they are also like small petulant children in your pocket - me, me, ME, answer ME, hello, Im HERE, ME, ME, ME talk to ME If I was out in a restaurant or pub etc with friends and someone just walked up to me and ignored everyone else and started talking to me, I wouldn't be very happy, as im sure my friends wouldn't be - you just wouldn't do it. BUT the phone suddenly goes off and so many people just cant help themselves !! Kids have lost the art of conversation, and god forbid that they don't answer a text, or 'like' a comment within 30 milliseconds of it appearing. You control them, thy don't control you !
