Hi Mike, The field in question was part of the old Lodge Moor Hall estate still there in 1855, to the far east there was a farm called Wiggins, Blackbrook Road was then classed as part of Bole Hill Lane.

Looks like the top of Mickley Lane to me. The Co-op would be to the right of the shot. The tree at the entrance to Green Oak park (centre picture) still stands, I think, although there are more houses around it now. The houses at the bottom of Lemont Road are just to the right of the tree Regards Ayfer

Hello everyone. Does anyone know anything about Carbrook in the early 1900's. I have two families in mind, one named Dodson, they had a large number of children, even for that era. Here are a few names, Rebecca known as Doris (she married Levi Marsden around 1926) Sam, Evelyn, Edith, Lucy, Tom, Hannah (I think this little girl died in the flu epidemic) she was one of a twin but the other one didn't live to be very old either. There were others but I only know the ones mentioned apart from Hannah. Their father, I believe had a coal delivery business until had damaged his foot and had to give it up. The other family is Leedham, and their children were, Fred, Martha, Evelyn, Horace. I'm intrigued to find out more if possible.

Looks like the top of Mickley lane or somewhere close - the CoOp was just to the left off picture. Second thoughts - it's where Laverdene road joins Baslow road - there was no vehicle access when I were a lad, just a footpath. Google maps 53.3162°N 1.5285°W

From A.R. Fearnley's "Goodbye The Wicker": "This still noble looking building was built in 1853 by John Shortbridge of Chipping House Grange. He was a very prominent Victorian Architect who was involved with the construction of the Wicker Viaduct. After completion the address of the site was: John Shortbridge and Company Hartford Steel Works Wicker Sheffield All the advertising at the time stated that the company specialised in the manufacture of every kind of steel for Engineering and Coal Mining." Hope this helps, many thanks to A.R. Fearnley

The Hole In The Road Sheffield
Stuart0742 replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield History Chat
They also struck coal when they excavated the underpass between Matilda St and Furnival Gate Don't know how much though -
I wasn't here in Sheffield at the time buy remember hearing that the completion was delayed by several months because the contractors struck coal and the council insisted on extracting what could be got out to defray the cost of it. Has anybody an idea of how many tons of coal was salvaged from the site ?

In researching my family tree I know that William Bamforth married Eliza Hague, and they lived at Chapeltown --on Cowley Lane in the 1890s, on Lound Side in the 1920s. In between they had a spell in Attercliffe. But there was a link between the Hagues and a family called Pashley, who also lived in Chapeltown. I think that Elza Hague's sister married a Pashley. Two children mentioned in the 1891 census are Sarah Pashley (aged 17) and Annie E. Pashley. If anyone has connections with any Pashleys who originate from Chapeltown, they might be able to throw some light on the subject.

I regularly used to ride there on my bike at weekends from home which was Hinde House Lane, Page Hall. Went via Bellhouse Rd then up Grange Lane then at the top turned right on towards Keppells Column and back home via Kimberworth and Grimesthorpe. Remember going up the steps inside to the top from which there was a great view over the area. Thats not possible now I gather. John

I would be interested to learn something about the coal riots of around 1893, especially those that were connected with the Newton Chambers Collieries in the Chapeltown/High Green area. I especially wonder if the events led to a lot of miners leaving the district and having to move to other pits.

I would love to know if anyone can provide an outline history of the International Twist Drill Company, which had bases in Claywheels Lane and Watery Street, as well as branches in London, Birmingham and Manchester,

Brightside Railway Station Brightside railway station From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brightside railway station in early 2004Brightside railway station was a railway station in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The station served the communities of Brightside and Wincobank and was situated on the Midland Main Line on Holywell Road, lying between Attercliffe Road and Holmes Station. The station opened in 1838, at the same time as the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway from Wicker Station and had two platforms although four tracks went through. The two outside tracks were for freight use whilst the two inside tracks were used by both stopping and express trains. Despite the opening of Meadowhall Interchange in 1990, the station remained open until 1993. A limited service had continued in its last three years and the station closed without fanfare with a poster announcing that all remaining trains could be caught at Meadowhall. The standard South Yorkshire style bus shelter that had replaced the station buildings by the early 1980s was removed in early 2006. A footbridge spans across the three remaining tracks and both sets of stairs to the platforms are boarded. The footbridge remains open as it serves as a footpath from the bottom of Dearne Street to Station Lane steps.

Can't be the same one then, I'm sure it was Stan and he lived somewhere near Hollinsend Chuch at Hollinsend Road / Ridgeway Road. His chip shop was at Manor Top on the City Road section between the old cinema and the Park 7 Arbourthorne club. To be honest I didn't like his fish and chips that much, preferred the ones from Northern Avenue shopping centre (more convenient) or those from Vinney's on Manor Lane (better chips)

This a list taken from White's 1910 Directory of Sheffield and Rotherham. American Skating Rink, Shoreham street and John street. (sic)... I was pushed for time but will check the individual entries at a later date. Attercliffe Skating Rink, Attercliffe road. Royal Alexandra Skating Rink, Hawley street and Sims street. Sheffield Empire Roller Rink Co. Ltd., Aizlewood road. Sheffield Olympia and Provincial Rinks Ltd., Shoreham street and Bramall lane. There were also two more rinks in Mexborough and another in Rotherham. Although not certain about this, I believe the Loxley Bros. printing works on Aizlewwod road is the former Sheffield Empire Roller Rink and retains the original facade - can anyone confirm this ?
