Hello, again I'm back at one of my previous posts. A belated thank you also to Loubaruch for your insightful contribution to the Bennett & Heron history. I am back though because of the mention of Kent Brothers (possibly not mentioned elsewhere on the Forum), a concern I had not come across until I saw online a suggested, military dining fork with a date on it, and indicated to have been made by that firm. The suggestion of the fork being military was no doubt because of the Royal cypher of King George VI shown its finial. There also is Kent Brothers Ltd and 1942. There is a full history of “Kent Bros” on the "Hawley’s Name on a Knife Blade" site but in brief they were formed in 1919 by brothers Percy & Leonard Kent on Broad Lane and “Ltd” in 1922 at 168 Broad Lane. Apparently wound up in 1969, when the chairman was E. H. Beighton. That was the surname Loubaruch quoted in his “B&H” history addition to this post. Other information was that B&H “bought out another manufacturer Kent Brothers who had a larger factory in Broad Lane, B&H then moved to Broad Lane in about 1960“. Is it coincidental that the name “Beighton” and the Broad Lane address are referenced with both companies? Were both companies run concurrently for a while or were B&H using the “Kent Bros” mark? Regarding the fork I am not sure it is necessarily for military use. Although the wartime date of 1942 was in King George VI’s reign the fork does not carry the “/|\” broad arrow mark associated with Government order items and typically seen on military stuff, including cutlery. A James Dixon & Sons example from 1942 with the “/|\” is below. I think there were other organisations that would have been using the King George VI cypher on cutlery. I think the General Post Office (GPO) would have been my top possibility. Any other suggestions? Kalfred

The original workhouse was situated in West Bar and was opened in 1733, hence Workhouse Lane, a remnant of which was still there in my memory. Basically right about where the roundabout is. Number 11 on the Gosling map. The Cotton Mill buildings (hence Cotton Street, Cotton Mill Row, and Cotton Mill Walk) were used as the Sheffield Union Workhouse from 1829 until 1881 (Fir Vale Workhouse opened). 18th June 1829 : The paupers having been removed from old workhouse to the new one, formerly the cotton mill, they were treated to 280lb of beef and 320lb of pudding; 317 paupers sat down. (Presumably the 600 pounds weight of food was meant for the lot of 'em, not each ) -------------------------- One for the people visiting The Fat Cat ... "map evidence suggests that the row of buildings backing onto Alma Street to the left of the current entrance to the Richardsons site (former Globe Steel Works) were not only part of the Workhouse, but also date back to the first cotton mill in 1805" Globe_Works.doc

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.

The photographs in earlier posts of housing due for demolition or in need of urgent repair you can see where donkey stoning the steps had been carried out. Even living in the shadow of the steelworks etc. and all the dirt and noise that was generated around them, they were still proud of their own home and kept it clean the best they could. Rear of No. 1 Wood Fold and back doorway of No. 175, Woodside Lane, 26th June 1957. demolished January 1960. s20695 It's unfortunate there isn't many photographs of interiors of the houses. Most of the photographs I've seen have been taken by the Council, Engineers & Surveyors Dept. or the Medical Officer of Health when reports have been needed to support the need for repair or demolition some through bomb damage but often through neglect by the Landlord. These photographs are often the only image there is of the house where they or their family lived. Sometimes only being able to say that space or the pile of bricks is all they have; or in my case the outside toilets of the neighbours. I only found that out because the City Engineers had written on the photograph identifying the derelict workshop they were attached to. From a map, discovered they were the outside toilets at the rear of Nos.1,3,5 & 7 Goulder Place, the houses were demolished some years before. "Goulder Place, workshop fronting Broughton Lane, taken 1st December 1962 by the City Engineers and Surveyors Office." The site is now part of Sheffield Arena Car Park. 1970, I took some photographs for a College project in the Carbrook area where my Grandmother had lived for a time. Demolition was well under way but there were some houses still occupied and even while demolition was going on around them, those steps were still being donkey stoned and the windows cleaned. Two ladies about their task thought I was from the Council but soon became friendlier when they discovered I wasn't. They hadn't wanted to move at first but were now looking forward to moving, and were missing their neighbours who'd already moved away.

Unidentified Public Houses and Refreshment Rooms
Ponytail replied to Ponytail's topic in Sheffield History Chat
Hawley Lane looking towards Silver Street Head probable solution to unidentified u01080. Wondered if this photograph below could also be pinpointed. Thought at first it was the rear of the "Unidentified" but the back to backs shown on the map make it unlikely. It's possible it is the diagonally opposite corner of Hawley Lane and Hawley Croft. I'm open to suggestions. Yard behind Becketts, Hawley Lane, possibly corner of Hawley Lane and Hawley Croft. September 1898. u01083 "Unidentified" property shaded in yellow. "Behind Becketts" marked with an orange line. I was wondering who "Becketts" was. Was it the name of a Beerhouse/ Public House or the owner/ occupier of another building? If anybody has access, it would be useful if the Brewster Sessions revealed the name (if it had a name) of the "Unidentified" or Directories recorded a Beckett. I think Archaeo especially and Edmund have done a great job of getting this far can we get further?

Tram - Origin of the Name?
Edmund replied to dunsbyowl1867's topic in Sheffield Buses, Trams and Trains
Medlicott derives his "mile and three quarters" from the 1773 estimate above which states: "2,000 yards of double rail at 10s" (per yard). However Medlicott does not take into account that there would need to be two double rails (an up line and a down line) so 2,000 yards would only get you 1,000 yards away, about 0.6 miles. Assuming that originally, 60 years before the 1832 map, the route would have been almost a straight line, that gets you to the region of the Cricket Inn Road Engine House. There were then another 1,000 yards of rail purchased to access various satellite pits. EDIT: Taking into account the map (next post), volume of coal (53 corves a year), I think the 1773 estimate would NOT need two way working, so the 2000 yards does give a guide to the extent of the waggonway. Going up the approximate route of Duke Street, 2,000 yards would get you past the Gin Stables and as far as the Manor Sandstone Quarry (600 yards east of Belle Vue in 1850) - maybe the sandstone quarry used to be a coal pit? According to Medlicott in his 1981 PhD thesis, the Manor pit near Corker Bottoms was not opened until 1823. The "Manor pit" referred to before that, was renamed as "Woodthorpe pit" sometime after 1805. Woodthorpe Colliery is 1/4 mile north of Manor Top, so too far to reach in 1774, especially with only 2,000 yards of rail on hand. -

Thomas and Phyllis Lilian Cooper were married in Oct/Nov/Dec 1935 in Stoke on Trent. Phyllis was the daughter of Fred (a colliery wages clerk at Parkhouse pit) and Elizabeth, of Woolstanton. From the Sheffield Daily Telegraph of 17th October 1939: "WARD - On October 15th, at Sister Needham's Nursing Home, Clarkehouse Road, to Phyllis (nee Cooper), wife of Thomas Ward , of 11 Greystones Drive, a daughter." Daughter Gillian was born on Phyllis' 31st birthday. If he was in the army (as opposed to the RAF) in South East Asia, the Fourteenth Army was the overarching organisation. Within that, the York and Lancaster Regiment might be the most likely options for a Sheffield lad. The 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th Battalions were under the Fourteenth Army operating in India and Burma. There is information on the Y&L here (though details are on a 'paid for' basis: https://www.wartimememoriesproject.com/ww2/allied/regiment.php?pid=1458 Also here: http://ww2talk.com/index.php?search/22254928/&q="york+and+Lancaster"+burma&o=relevance
