    Wire Mill at Ringinglow

    Interestingly the Dyson brothers, Joseph and James crossed the paths of history in later life - in 1864 thanks to the Sheffield flood. The 2 brothers hailed from Thurgoland and in 1864 they were both employed at a wireworks on Bradfield Road, Hillsborough. Joseph (the manager there) and his family lived in Brick Row, Holme Lane where James lodged during the week while his family lived in Thurgoland. On the night of Friday March 10 / 11 the Dale Dike dam at Bradfield burst and the flood killed over 200 people in the Sheffield area. The flood destroyed Brick Row and Joseph and most of his family were killed - one child was away that night and survived - but James escaped by breaking through the roof and he escaped and was reunited with his own family a couple of days later - his wife had come by train to Sheffield to try and find him and he caught the train back home! My partner is James’s g-g-granddaughter and every time we go into the Norfolk Arms we think of him, his relatives and their experiences of that terrible night.

    Thank you very much Stenner, I don't know the area at all and other photographs aren't helping to confirm. Does anybody have any photographs of the shops on Bocking Lane? Or can see what it is over the doorway? I only have a mobile phone to work with.

    This looks very much like the S&E Coop that was in Greenhill village, top of Bocking Lane just before the roundabout - I used to live on Lowedges at that time and for a short time went to the school on the other section of the roundabout (the school on Lowedges Road hadn't been finished at the time - that must have been about 1954/5)
