Interestingly the Dyson brothers, Joseph and James crossed the paths of history in later life - in 1864 thanks to the Sheffield flood. The 2 brothers hailed from Thurgoland and in 1864 they were both employed at a wireworks on Bradfield Road, Hillsborough. Joseph (the manager there) and his family lived in Brick Row, Holme Lane where James lodged during the week while his family lived in Thurgoland. On the night of Friday March 10 / 11 the Dale Dike dam at Bradfield burst and the flood killed over 200 people in the Sheffield area. The flood destroyed Brick Row and Joseph and most of his family were killed - one child was away that night and survived - but James escaped by breaking through the roof and he escaped and was reunited with his own family a couple of days later - his wife had come by train to Sheffield to try and find him and he caught the train back home! My partner is James’s g-g-granddaughter and every time we go into the Norfolk Arms we think of him, his relatives and their experiences of that terrible night.

Butchers shown is number 147, the 1965 directory lists that whole building as S&E Co op Ltd., (no street number) the house to the left in the photograph, is number 141 Bocking Lane. Something has changed?
-
Judging by this previous thread on SH about Co-Op’s, the Bocking Lane branch doesn’t look anything like the photo???
-
Thank you very much Stenner, I don't know the area at all and other photographs aren't helping to confirm. Does anybody have any photographs of the shops on Bocking Lane? Or can see what it is over the doorway? I only have a mobile phone to work with.
-
This looks very much like the S&E Coop that was in Greenhill village, top of Bocking Lane just before the roundabout - I used to live on Lowedges at that time and for a short time went to the school on the other section of the roundabout (the school on Lowedges Road hadn't been finished at the time - that must have been about 1954/5)

Does anyone remember the people in this photo? One is Big Ada from the old market on Dixon Lane Any memories of these people at all?

Hi does anyone have any information about a location known as Crooked Steps? It is shows as an ancestors address in the 1881 Census and listed as Harvest Lane. I've checked out Picture Sheffield but couldn't find any pics specifically listed as Crooked Steps. I know it was/is hilly around there so I'm guessing there literally were a set of crooked steps, it just seems odd to have as an address. Thanks in advance!

Old Sheffield tram routes - bit of confusion !
Roger Stevenson posted a topic in Sheffield History Chat
Out walking yesterday ( Tues 20 Feb ) I noticed in the footpath on Cemetery Road at Sharrow Head, the junction of Psalter Lane and Sharrow Vale Road, the service box shown in the attached photo. as far as I am aware and I have just looked at a map of the old tram network on the web, the trams didn't run up Cemetery Road to the top, but turned at the Washington Road junction to proceed to Nether Edge. What's the reason for that box outside 309 Cemetery Road ? I'm intrigued, may be a straightforward answer.

What does "main" mean in a colliery name ?
Ponytail replied to JS2021's topic in Sheffield History Chat
As discussed the first pit sunk in the town was often called Main. Never considered it before, was there ever a Sheffield Main Colliery? Sheffield Collieries at Work 1869. https://www.chrishobbs.com/sheffield/1869shefpits.htm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Coal_Company -
What does "main" mean in a colliery name ?
Ponytail replied to JS2021's topic in Sheffield History Chat
Referring to Maltby Main F.C. when they were formed about the time WWI all the players worked at Maltby Main. Other Collieries and Steelworks had their own sports teams and brass bands, some kept the traditional names when the Pit or the Works closed. They changed the name to Maltby Miners Welfare in 1959 but returned to the original name 1996. -
The site was the eastern end of the Fitzalan Market, which was offices (Fitzalan Chambers) where Tommy Wards' coal sales operation was. After demolition shop premises were built, one of which was Price's Tailors (1928) Ltd (trading as Fifty Shilling Tailors) which opened for business in mid June 1931.

Neepsend Tavern, 144 Neepsend Lane. Worksop Ales, Fred Longden licensee. s06928 On the night of the Sheffield Flood, 11th & 22th March 1864, the Neepsend Tavern and many properties in the area were badly damaged. Extract from the "A Complete History of the Great Flood at Sheffield" "The Neepsend Tavern was partially submerged, and all the houses in Neepsend Lane were flooded to a great height. The boundary walls of the river were carried away, and many of the houses were gutted. Neepsend Bridge, built strongly of stone, sustained the shock of the Flood without giving way, but it was much shaken, and a part of the parapets of the bridge were thrown down. The stones were of immense size, and the force by which they were overturned must have been prodigious. A vast quantity of debris, timber, and furniture, was piled up against the bridge, which has formed a barrier to its further progress." The gardens (with statues and a large flagpole) and stables at the Neepsend Tavern were totally destroyed. The property including a Dram Shop, Tap Room, Bar, Brewhouse, Kitchen, Bedrooms & Cellars were badly damaged. The tenant and occupier Mary Dyson a widow, had only recently taken over the licence. (1862 Mark Dyson possibly her husband) The owners were Messrs. Joseph Garside and Daniel Fossick Alderson of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, were "Common" Brewers trading under the style of "The Prior Well Brewery Company." It appears a "Club" not named who met there, also lost property. https://sheffieldfloodclaimsarchive.shu.ac.uk/claimDetails.cfm?claim=8-6382 It's possible Mary Dyson didn't return as landlady; 1865, Joseph Deakin was the landlord recorded in directories.

Hi, Have just joined this group. I am looking where I can find photographs of Water Lane, Sheffield. Around the period 1870-1890. Any assistance would be most welcome.
