    Cadman Lane

    Thought i`d have a look on Google Earth at the exact location of Cadman Street to get an idea of the area in tozzins enquiry! by mistake i searched Cadman Lane, which took me to the lane behind the Graduate Pub on Surrey Street, i was intrigued by the brickwork on the rear of the pub, can anyone tell me if this is an extension to the building or is it part of the original building? A couple of photographs, one from Google Earth showing the brickwork and one from Bing Maps showing the buildings location.
  7. Any info on the house or the gate house please ? I know it was a Naval Cadette training base , where has the old boforse gun gone?, but has it past naval links,who built it and when ? Also the playing fields in front of it , what are they built on i.e. gardens or the remains of mine workings, as I have seen large issues of water spring up from the bank sides in front of the old wood at the side,after very heavy rain fall.

    Jew Lane/Jehu Lane

    Suggestion as to the origin of the name Jehu Lane. This one as recounted in Reminiscences of Old Sheffield, it's streets and it's people. From the 1870's Pages 213 & 214. "Leonard : Do you know what is said to be the origin of the name Jehu lane ? The tradition is, that when Mary Queen of Scots arrived in Sheffield for imprisonment at the Manor, this lane was the main road, and through it she had to pass. The streets had not been planned in expectation of such things as coaches rolling through them, and the lane astonished the Queen's coachman to such an extent that he ejaculated "Jehu!" — by way, I suppose, of invoking the tutelary genius of drivers in his difficulty. Everard : Credat Judcsus !" From a Google Search Originally a commander of chariots for Ahab, king of Israel, Jehu later led a revolt against the throne and became king himself. In the Bible, it is noted of Jehu that "he drives furiously" (II Kings 9:20). In the 17th century, English speakers began using jehu as a generic term meaning "coachman" or, specifically, "a fast or reckless coachman." Today, we are more likely to use the word in reference to reckless cabdrivers. The phrase drives like Jehu is encountered occasionally, too.

    Birley Collieries Branch Line

    If you look at R Longden's map and at Fields 504 and 505 at the top end, you can see that the cutting cuts away and indicates a bridge over lane/path. If you look in the background of my photo, you can see the school building of City School, which ties in nicely with the modern academy on the modern satellite image and following it down the large green blob of trees might indicate that the bridge is still there. So the "tunnel" is not a tunnel, but a bridge with the railway line on top and the path below it. I have had a look around Google Street View, and modern buildings now block the original view I took in the 1980s. However, there is a footpath at the back which can be accessed via Haxby Street and the cul-de-sac off it. Near where the large building that crosses over the boundary line of the estate.
  23. 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?

    Birley Collieries Branch Line

    Thanks to that map it seems there was a bridge on Coisley Hill which I was not aware of. From the current pictures it seems the cutting has been filled in next to Stone Lane to bring the path up to road level. That's the good thing about this site, you learn something new every day!

The word spread and wise men came from the South and sat in judgement for forty days; And from the Shore a voice cried ''Hearken, I bring glad tidings of A great widening of the waters;'' And lo! 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.
