It remained closed due to argument. "Originally built on the outskirts of the town, on land bounded by Pinson Lane (later Pinstone Street) and Alsop Fields (later to become Norfolk Street) The building of St Paul's Church was funded by public subscription in 1720 and 1721 with the first stone being laid in 28th May 1720. The dome was added in 1769 It was made possible by a gift of £1,000 and the promise of £30 a year for the Minister from Robert Downes, a Sheffield goldsmith, in return for him and his heirs having the right to appoint the minister, and it was to be a Chapel of Ease to the Parish Church. The then Vicar of Sheffield objected on the grounds that since it was a Chapel of Ease to his church he had the right to appoint the Minister. At the same time the Patron of the Parish Church, William Jessop, claimed that as such he should automatically be Patron of St. Paul's. The argument continued for nearly twenty years, during which time the church remained locked and unused. Things were brought to a head in 1739 when Robert Downes threatened to open the church, as he was legally entitled to do, " as a meeting house for Protestant Dissenters". As a result a compromise was agreed under which the Vicar was to be the Patron, but the first Minister was to be Robert Downes nephew, John Downes. And so the church was actually consecrated on 2nd May 1740, twenty years after the laying of the first stone" www.chrishobbs.com

As you look at a map, the corner we have completed is the northeast corner. The 2 western corners both go round onto Holme Lane and the southeastern corner is on Langsett Road as it comes back to town past the barracks. Unfortunately Stuart, like you I don't live in or know this area too well. Furthermore, as the Google picyures are fairly recents (so they are NOW pictures) where are we going to get some THEN pictures from? In 1974 I only took that one picture of the northeast corner. :(

This path finally end right in front of Hurlfield House on the lane which was blocked off to traffic. Hurlfield House is guarded by a pack of dogs behind its gates which bark fiercely every time anyone walks along the path. Got a photo of the house but from a safe distance (notice the dogs). Wasn't brave enough to go snooping around for any old school ruins.

The junction of Hurlfield Road with Arbourthorne Road (which is the main road which swings around to the right) and Toll Bar Road (a narrower road which continues straight on). The unidentified buildings on SteveHB's labelled Google map would appear to be that row of 3 cottages in the left of centre of the picture. Since this picture was taken just before I went on my holidays the road junction has already been altered, A give way and junction at the top of Arbourthorne Road, with Hurlfield Road now doing what it did originally as Hagg Lane, continuing on along Toll Bar Road into Myrtle Springs. At least this gets rid of a very nasty blind bend which many motorists went round far too fast without a thought of what could have been around the corner.

Almost opposite the school on the other side of Hurlfield Road is the old water works building, although there is no visible evidence of the "Hagg Lane Tanks", the water tanks which once stood here at the highest point. They are long gone and replaced with new housing.

Thanks for the pic, I just tried to upload it but it said try later. I will. The piano - now there's a story. I don't think anyone would believe it without you being able to verify that the piano existed. It's a long one but I'll cut it as short as I can. Us who were in bands at the time had permission to use the music room at dinner time. This worked ok for a while until, as lads will do, we overstretched the mark a bit and the privilege was withdrawn. Undaunted we decided to use the bike sheds instead, which we did, but missed having the piano. Fred heard about a piano going free from someone at Basegreen and we decided it would be a simple case of going down there one dinner time and pushing it up the hill to school. (Strange ideas you get when you're young and foolhardy) Well we got the piano and started pushing. Within the first 50 yards or so one caster came off, then another, by the time we got partway up Birley Lane, we'd lost all the wheels, chucked away every bit of unnecessary woodwork and were carrying it. A couple of lads chickened out because dinner time was over, but 4 of us continued up as far as the fence on the corner of the playing fields and left it there. We got back to school late, took the flack, and waited 'till home-time. We sneaked - can you sneak a piano?, across the rugby pitch and put it proudly round the corner of the music block. The rest you'll probably remember as we were forced to keep moving it whenever the prefects found us. Bike sheds, Science block, behind the dustbins --. We were told to get rid of it by Paddy McMahon. (Remember him?) Amazingly we managed to keep moving it around and held onto it for a couple of weeks. I can't remember what eventually happened to what was left of it. It was a great adventure. Here's a tribute to my school mate Fred Tommy Eyre who died in 2001. It's done by a friend of mine, Bev, who looks after the excelent Phil Brodie Band website. Tommy's brother Simon is also a fine musician. He was at Carter Lodge with my brother. They formed a band together while they were there. His dad was a chimney sweep. He had a motorbike and sidecar until he moved up to a Bond 3 wheeler. Fred (Senior) played the piano in the pubs most evenings. He told us lads on more than one occasion "Learn t playt pianer lads, thal never bi short 'n' a pint" :)

Oh what a blast from the past this post is! I remember Zachery Thack and Incognito. I'm sure they played at Carter Lodge youth club and the Scout hut (aka moggy hut) on Linley Lane, but I dont remember the individual names. Perhaps someone else can enlighten me. Oh where do the years go? :huh:

Hello again everyone many, many thanks for the warm welcome to Sheffield History - such nice people on this forum! As the pics were well received, I thought I'd post a couple more: http://www.crosspool.co.uk/snod/Dscn1105.jpg http://www.crosspool.co.uk/snod/Dscn1120.jpg http://www.crosspool.co.uk/snod/Dscn1122.jpg The quality of the last one (Dscn1122) is inferior due to shooting against the sun. However, the old art college on Psalter Lane is visible (I think!) and so is (to the very top-right) the end of the Hallam Towers hotel. Anybody know if there are any plans for these landmark buildings? (should I start a new thread?) all the best
