    Dixon Lane in Sheffield City Centre

    Ponytail replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield History Chat

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Whiteley Wood(s)

    Heartshome replied to SteveHB's topic in Sheffield History Chat

    Hi Steve. Yes! you are right! On the old picture postcards, I have found a good few mistakes on the name given to places in our area. They put Forge Dam, Endcliffe on one. Another, had a dam in Endcliffe down as Whiteley Woods. A view taken 'FROM' Woodcliffe, looking over 'TO' Quiet Lane, said from Quiet Lane looking over to Woodcliffe. Plus more:-..... I think it is that in a lot of cases, the old photographers didn't really know the area, and what boundary was where. Also I have found, people made notes of the places they had been photographing, but somehow, put them on the wrong picture. Regards Heartshome

    Coal is found at different levels in the ground. And in different seams. The main seam would be the biggest deposit of coal in a seam. The seams were given names like Parkgate and Silkstone etc.
  21. Busmansholiday
    Yes, I believe it's to do with the fact that the pits are all removing coal from the same seam (layer) of coal.
  22. winco1960
    My wife used to work for the coal board at Queens House in Sheffield dealing with accident claims during the eighties. Until the miners strike there were 56 collieries in Yorkshire. Only 6 had the word "Main" in the title. Barnsley, Hickleton, Houghton, Manvers, Markham and Yorkshire ( Doncaster ). From her recollections she believes these sites had multiple shafts and were linked. For instance Manvers was linked underground with Wath, Barnburgh and Kilnhurst but all the coal mined in these pits were all raised at Manvers.

    Hello I'm trying to unlock a family mystery and I hope by researching some addresses, who lived there etc in certain years will help me. Any information that would shed light. I would like advice on which records would give be the best information. I’m assuming it would involve a trip to the local studies library so I would like to have a plan before I make the journey to Sheffield. The addresses and years are; 1876 12 ct 17h Bernard St 1887 Castle Court 7 Sylvester Lane 1887 8 Castle Yard, could be 251 or 285 1891 32 ct 3h Fitzwilliam St 1909 1 Regent Lane 1913 25 ct 3h Thomas Street Also was there a different numbering system also use such as for example 13 house 2 court also referred to as 250. Many thanks!
