The Old Barrack Tavern (the first one, as opposed to the Barrack Tavern near the Hillsborough Barracks) at the junction of Penistone Road and Balaclava Road (1889 Map), does any body know when it was built? There is a building (1850 map) with a bowling green, wondered if this became the Old Barrack Tavern. 1850 OS Map. https://maps.nls.uk/view/102345217#zoom=7&lat=8185&lon=9916&layers=BT

Thanks for sourcing the aerial shot. On reflection wouldn't the old Barracks have been demolished by this time?

    Dixon Lane in Sheffield City Centre

    Great photograph but like many images on Picture Sheffield this is wrongly titled. It is actually Broad Street with the Rag an' Tag, (old Sheaf Market) on the right. Dixon Lane ended at the Norfolk Arms.

    Dixon Lane in Sheffield City Centre

    Norfolk Market Hall, Haymarket, before 1896, showing the old west front which was rebuilt 1904-5. Tontine Commercial Hotel on corner of Dixon Lane in background. https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s00297&pos=4&action=zoom&id=4285 This is the best image I can find of the Tontine Commercial Hotel. A search of the Directories would be needed to determine how long it was in existence. Just my opinion but probably named in homage to the old Tontine Coaching Inn.

    This 1890 map from Picture Sheffield shows a Tontine Hotel located at the top of Dixon Lane, was this in any way connected to the Tontine Inn demolished in 1850 to make way for the building of the new Norfolk Market Hall? https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;q00081&prevUrl=

    Appreciate its an Artists Impression of Norfolk Market Hall and area but it looks classy especially with the fountain. Erected by Henry Charles, 13th Duke of Norfolk, on the site of the late Tontine Inn. Opened Christmas Eve, 1851. Constructed of brick, with stone basement, quoins and dressings, in classic style. The west front was rebuilt 1904-5 with shops opening on to the Haymarket (the other end) Demolished 1959. s01880 Norfolk Arms (left), Dixon Lane, Norfolk Market Hall and Castlefolds Market right.

  17. You only have to look at the OS maps of Sheffield in the 1860s to see all the coal mines. Even today, the odd green space on an estate could be the location of an old mine shaft that they couldn't build on. But if you went back millions of years, Sheffield would have been a steamy swamp with giant Centipedes and MASSIVE Dragonflies. Which has left us with the coal. While in other parts it was a sandy beach that has left us with outcrops of sandstone rock.
  18. My finding of the Dore Colliery came about whilst I was researching the early days of the NCB….and Dore was listed in an official publication detailing all the coal mining companies, including those which were dormant.

  20. I never realised we had so many collieries. I remember once reading that Dore had once had a coal mine with its HO in the Devonshire Pub. * I had the cutting framed and placed behind the bar. It caused some amusement amongst the old villagers for some to think they were drinking in a miners pub…others , mainly newcomers, thought it far from amusing. * a thin ,shallow seam of readily accessible coal.
