Aaaargh - help! I took this a couple of weeks ago and I can't remember where it is. Any ideas? Edit:- Location - Park Lane Thanks SteveHB

Thanks for your input. I shall definitely try this. From separate sources I have knowledge that one of my direct line ancestors a John born in 1789 went to stay with his brother William Moore sometime around 1835 in the Norton area. I ten have a reference that William took over the Little London forge (is this what is now know as Abbeydale forge - the museum?) in 1837. I am assuming that the John and William shown in the 1841 Norton census are these two guys. Both John and William were born in Belbrougton in Worcestershire having descended from another John Moore who we know was married in the church there in 1641. They were all scythe makers working at water wheel driven forges. All the male Moore's carried on in this line of work - my father being the last working as a scythe maker at Clay Wheels Lane forge up until 1951.

When I lived in Froggatt in the 40s and 50s and was at Lady Manners School at Bakewell, Sheffield Corporation or SJOC used to run us to school. The bus stop was at Stoke Bar between Grindleford and Calver. At first in 1953 they were AEC back loading single deckers but eventually the what we used to "flat fronters" came on the scene. I think the Leyland was an Olympian and there were two AEC models but I can't remember the names of them. One of the AECs was OWB 13 and the others were TWJ ---.Maybe the AECs were Regents or Swifts. I do recall another reg number for an AEC which was RPA 226 or 9 and often wondered if it was an ex AEC demo with that non-Sheffield reg. I remember the name of the General Manager on the N/S of the buses was C.T.Humpidge. There used to be three routes from Sheffield to Bakewell:- 37 via Baslow. 40 via Fox House 44 via Ladybower The other route I remember was 84, the Sheffield-Buxton service shared with North Western Road Car. And route 48 was Sheffield-Manchester via Woodhead. An attempt was made to run a school bus through Froggatt village to Curbar school. I can't remember if it was Whites or Hulleys but one grounded on the Derwent bridge after coming down Stoke Lane and the idea was abandoned for a while.This would be pre 1953 and it was more fun walking anyroad !

The photo is of John Robinson at Coopers on Broad Lane. I think it may be 1940s. Anyone have an idea what he had been making? Or any information about Coopers?

Novotel, Dixon Lane. Now I've not even seen the front of the said building so it is a stab in the dark and probably useless.

Guest replied to dunsbyowl1867's topic in Sheffield History Chat
Hi, My first post on here, me & hubby have just spent hours on this, reminising....., can anyone tell us the name of a pub that was near the Norfolk Arms at the bottom of Dixon Lane, it was on the site that is now a car park, opposite where the Barrow Boys bar/pub was. My husband thinks the pub was demolished in the late 70's. Thanks in advance. Gilly -

Hello Sharon, There was a pub at the junction of Attercliffe Common and Broughton Lane called the Broughton Inn - its sounds likely? Here's a photograph http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=v03366 -
Anyone remember this on Holme Lane?
hilldweller replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield History Chat
Years ago it used to be a chemist shop staffed by a very superior lady in a dazzling white coat. As a lad I used to go there to buy an obnoxious dye called something like "crysadine" for my father to colour his fishing maggots with. The maggots of course I had just purchased next door at Dawsons, which is still going strong today. I used to deliver papers for Faldings who were located just the other side of Haden Street. On the morning of the "Great Sheffield Gale" I eventually ventured out from home to collect my papers. As I left the comparitive shelter of Haden Street I stepped out into Holme lane and the wind blew open my great big canvas "Star" bag and the next thing I knew I was flying past the upstairs window of Dawson's shop and I made a painful landing about 10 yards nearer to Malin Bridge ! Happy Days !!! -
Well, well,well - lots of wells. Note that Blackbrook Road was Bole Hill lane in 1850. Have you found an old well in the garden ??
-
I don't have a map but do have a picture of the area you are interested in taken early 1960s from Blackbrook Rd towards Crimicar Lane.
-
Thanks for the reply, the area I'm interested in lies between Blackbrook Road and Crimicar Lane. In particular the position of one of the marked wells. The map is terrific but if anyone has a larger scale or more recent map (before circa 1960) that would be even better. Regards, Hilldweller P.S. Perhaps the Hell-hole was a natural pot-hole uncovered by the quarrying and leading down to HELL ???

I wouldn't mind so much if they were PROPER cycle paths which ran parallel to both road and pavement but were "sectioned off" for cyclists in some way like a bus only lane. But no, these red psychopath cycle paths weave and wander about, moving from pavement to road and crossing pavements at silly angles and with turns in them for no reason. To me they just encourage poor cycling as the routes don't themselves seem to obey the normal rules of the Highway Code. To most of us non-cyclists (or rather ex-cyclists of many years lapsed) the red paths, red being a warning of danger, just seem to mean :- DANGER, - IDIOT CYCLISTS MAY BE FOLLOWING THIS ROUTE. (SENSIBLE CYCLISTS WILL BE ON THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE NORMAL RULES OF THE ROAD)
