Shirland Lane Sheffield - The Full Monty Filming Location
Sheffield History posted a topic in The Full Monty Filming Locations
This shot of our characters walking up a hill was incredibly difficult to pin down but I did it (eventually!) This shot was achieved by the cameraman being quite a way away from the actors but zoomed right in on them, and the 'hill' wasn't actually a hill they're walking up but was the hump of a bridge between the cameraman and the actors! This actual Full Monty Filming Location is Shirland Lane which is in the Attercliffe/Darnall area of Sheffield The pub seen to the left is no longer a pub See below for the actual Sheffield location and what it's like now!

It would probably have been Gentian Violet, an antimicrobial dye derived from coal tar. It's still around... but it's use much restricted in the UK nowadays after clinical research and availability of better alternatives to prevent/treat infection.

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.

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 Hole In The Road Sheffield
Stasro replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield History Chat
two comments to add to the discussion - 1 This area of the city Centre took quite a pounding during the war with Marples Hotel on Fitzalan Square taking a direct hit and the old C&A building being bombed out. That is why there was a row of single-story shops across the end of what was Change Alley. It took many years' work to put that all to rights. 2. The delays due to the old coal seam were due to the Coal Authority having "first dibs" on any coal found in excavations and they always took their time deciding whether they wanted it or not. -

The line cut the road at 2 points. 1) Coisley Hill and 2) Normanton Hill. 1) You can see where the track bed was, as it’s now a part of the Trans Pennine Trail. It crosses Coisley Hill just up from Stone Lane, where the kerbs have been dropped either side 2) Just above the end house on the right going uphill, you can see the wall either side and the ‘drop’, where the tunnel cut under the road. Assume the level of the ground was backfilled to accommodate the houses, though if you peer over the wall/fence, it is still well below road level The trace of the line can still be seen in the vegetation, wall and property boundaries Hope this helps to visualise the route and crossing points?

http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s07451 http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s18668 Apparently this property survived until 1992 and the widening of Pensitone road. It was the only survivng remnant of the old cavalry barracks built in 1792/4 and originally served as the barrack infirmary and officer's quarters. The old barracks site was bought by a partnership of builders in 1855 and used for the housing between Wood street and Barrack lane, incorporating Bertha street, Flora street, Gertrude street and Thirza street; - named, presumably, after female relatives of the builders. Part of the site was used to extend Infirmary road into Langsett road and so avoid the little detour up White House lane, which, according to a report in the Sheffield and Rotherham Independent at the time, was "exceedingly inconvenient".

Any ideas why Cockshutts Lane in Oughtibridge is sometimes referred to as Jossey Lane (maybe Jossy) ? On all the maps I can view, it is always shown as Cockshutts Lane.

Clay Wood (or Park) windmill was taken down in 1797/8 at about the same time as the one at Western Bank. The site of the moved Shrewsbury Hospital was close to the old windmill location. George Hill of the Attercliffe windmill assisted the demolition and took some of the recovered machinery back to Attercliffe. But if the above is correct, it was presumably rebuilt very soon afterwards. In 1840 James Crossland, gentleman and corn factor, lived at Talbot Cottage, which was the house with the windmill at the bottom of its garden: Fairbanks 1808 plan: Whites 1838 map: In Sheffield Archives there is an Arundel Castle document (ACM/15/274) titled "Counterpart lease of Pit Hill and Wind Mill closes late Messrs. Booth, Binks and Co." which is a lease dated 30 September 1802 for 21 years to Robert Burnand, broker, the rent being £12 12s, one boon work day. Booth, Binks and Co. were operating the Park Furnace in 1790. Document (ACM/15/262) is dated 4th October 1806 and titled "Counterpart lease of a parcel of land containing 2 roods adjoining Pit Hill field in the Park, with messuage and wind mill, newly erected" which is a lease for 99 years to Robert Burnand of Sheffield, broker, at rent of £4 4s. There was a further lease (ACM/15/315 dated 23 Nov 1814 for 9 years to Thomas Hague of Sheffield Park, builder, the rent was £20 10s one boon work day. By now the area was named as Pit Hill field or Wind Mill Close. The Fairbanks collection has a plan of 1814 (FC/P/SheS/826S) titled "South Street, Park. Wind Mill House in the Park with the ground now proposed to be demised to - Hague by the Duke of Norfolk" which presumably relates to this lease.
