Hi Lysanderix. Yes my dad was same as yours . He was born 2 November 1915. He lived on Petre Street & went to All Saints Infants & juniors . Took exam (am sure you are right that it was the Scholarship exam) in 1927 when he went to Owler Lane Intermediate. He left school in summer 1930 age 14. He went to work at Firth Vickers & studied engineering at Sheffield Technical School ( I assume it was night school he went to although am not sure about that - could there have been day release back then ?). Happy Christmas, John

What does "main" mean in a colliery name ?
Edmund replied to JS2021's topic in Sheffield History Chat
It appears that the tradition of naming collieries as "Main" originated in the North East at an early date. The "Main" seam coal was so attractive that even collieries that did not extract coal from the Main seam began to use the name, and "Main" became synonymous with Mine" :

Wasn’t it called the Scholarship? My Dad and your Dad were of a similar age and he also went to Owler Lane….until he was old enough(14?) to work

Fatal accident at Nunnery Colliery
History dude replied to dereklevesley's topic in General Chat (Anything Goes)
I think you mean Nunnery Colliery. Inquests are often covered in the local newspapers. There's an image below of the pit in 1951.

My granddad Robert sustained a broken spine as a result of being crushed between a full tub of coal and the pit side of Nunnerley colliery on 14 May 1947. He died in the Sheffield Royal Infirmary on the 16th. The coroner for the City of Sheffield raised an inquest on the 17th. Would anyone know if I can see a copy of this? Also, would grandma have received any compensation? Many thanks, Derek.

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

Many strange miracles were wrought in the land of coal and steel from that day; And they that had ears to hear and eyes to see rejoiced.

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. -
