In 1904, my Grand-Parents, Harry and Minnie Hague and family, are described as living at, 8 Court 2 Eyre Lane. Not living in Sheffield, this has presented me with a couple of problems. First., how do I read this ?. Is it '8' 'Court 2' 'Eyre Lane' or '8 Court' '2 Eyre Lane', if you know what I mean. Second, would it be possible to obtain a map, or photograph showing this address ?

Did there used to be a lodging house, hospital or workhouse at 38 Granville Lane? I am researching my family tree and I have found that two members of the family died at this address but I aslo found that there were many others of other families died at this address in the same era. It seemed to house quite a few people at the same time.

In the 1881 census there is a Elshaw b1840 in Sheffield who was a steward. He lived with his wife on Derbyshire Ln. On a online old-map.co.uk map of the area of 1882 there appears to be a Working Mens Club on Derbyshire Ln at Norton Woodseats. I could be wrong, eyes are not what they used to be. Could it be what is now Eyre and Baxters Anybody any ideas

Parades Of Shops Brooklands Ave/crimicar Lane, Fulwood
Guest posted a topic in Sheffield History Chat
I was in Fulwood village the other day & got to pondering the history of the area of shops in the above area. The southern parade seems to be fairly modern (50s, 60s?) and has a modern block of flats behind them. What was here before the shops were built? Looking at the Co-op building the brick-work of the rear portion seems significantly older than the front bit. Anyone know the history of this building? -

I was born 1950 and brought up in Thrush Street, Walkley. From our back yard we had a view over the valley to Stannington. As a kid we had a perfect view to a well just off Wood Lane. It hypnotised me as I had quite a few childerens books where wells ere depicted and this well at wood lane was perfect. Brick or stone built with cranking handle and canopy over the top. Never thought much about it from circa 1958 until I was to start Myers Grove in 1961 as we had moved to Crookesmoor. It was the first thing I looked for on my arrival but it had been demolished. Anyone remember it or shed any light ?

Leppings Lane is one of those stand-out road names in Sheffield, mainly becoming famous for being the road to the away-end of Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium (and later, the venue by which the Hillsborough Disaster occured). The name of the road came about from around the end of the 19th Century, when it was simply a dirt-path which had to cross the River Don that runs through Sheffield. In order to get from one side to the other, you had to navigate the 'Leaping' (Or 'Lepping') stones. in the picture below (dated 1881), you'd be looking from what is now the Catch-Bar Lane junction area, down towards the dog-leg near the stadium. Hillsborough stadium itself will be erected towards the top-right area of the picture.

Is there an easy way to find where old streets other than scanning the old maps? Is there an a-z or similar for each or any of the census years? I'm trying to find New George Lane from the 1851 Census (St Mary's Ecclesall Brierlow, Sheffield), but have a number of other roads I could do with finding too. Just thought there might be an a-z somewhere.

Broughton Lane, close to Sheffield Arena, holds a dark secret. It is named after a mail robber called Spence Broughton, thought to be the last man to be gibbeted in Yorkshire. In the bloodthirsty age of the eighteenth century, the gibbet was the usual punishment for convicted murderers. After being hanged, the felon's body faced further humiliation by being suspended in a gibbet, a open cage-like structure, where it was left to the mercy of the elements and, no doubt, a few hundred onlookers who had turned out for the occasion. Lincolnshire born Broughton started out as a farmer but a gambling habit caused him to leave his wife and family for the cock-fighting scenes of Sheffield, Grantham and Derby. Here he met John Oxley and in February 1791 the pair conspired to rob the Sheffield to Rotherham mail. During the robbery, at Ickles near Attercliffe Common, Broughton and Oxley stole the post boy's mailbag, but the only item of value was a French bill of exchange for £123 from a London merchant. Legend has it that the hapless robbers had to use a French dictionary to find out how to cash the bill. The pair were arrested the following October in London. Broughton was sent to Newgate Prison but Oxley was taken to Clerkenwell where he managed to escape, leaving Broughton to face the music alone. At Broughton's trial, in York, Mr. Justice Buller passed the death sentence and asked that the body be suspended in a gibbet. Broughton was hanged on April 14, 1792. It is said that while on the scaffold Broughton asked onlookers to pray for his soul and remarked that his sentence was just. Two days later his body arrived in Sheffield and was put in its gibbet on Attercliffe Common. It is estimated that 40,000 people visited the common on that day to look at the gruesome spectacle. By 1817 (25 years later!) Broughton's tattered clothes and bones were still visible. The gibbet was not taken down until 1827 when the owner of the field where it stood complained of over enthusiastic sightseers trespassing on his property. And what of Broughton's accomplice, John Oxley, who escaped without trial? It seems he also met a sticky end - his body was discovered on Sheffield's Loxley Moor in January 1793.

Old Building Behind The Hallamshire Hotel, Lydgate Lane
sando posted a topic in Sheffield History Chat
As I passed the Hallamshire Hotel on Lydgate lane today, I noticed that it is to be demolished to make way for houses and appartments, on closer inspection there is a single story building behind the pub that looks much older than the actual pub, I know there was a quarry and ropeworks close by and wonder if this building could be a remnant from those days, does anyone have a pre 1900s map that shows the area? The Pub is on the junction of lydgate lane and Rygate Crescent. -

There is a picture in Sheffield Libraries of some old cottages that were next to Bishops House. The photo was dated 1928. Does anyone know when they were demolished? I think they were demolished because of road widening. I know the cottages were originally part of Meersbrook Estate and were rented out by the Shores. I have a 1806 map and rent book to that effect. What I want to know is if I can get any information about the interior of the cottage, any demolition photos?
