Going on my childhood memories of this area which I didn't visit very often if you turned right at the top corner of Arbourthorne Road where it turns left to meet Hurlfield Road onto what is now Toll Bar Road there was access on the right to a public footpath which went across a field, behind the houses that now stand on Toll Bar Road and then the path dropped down a steep embankment into what appeared to be a disused quarry (it appears from the previous maps this was the site of a brick works) before finally reaching Gleadless Road. I am sure that the top level used to have the remains of foundations of old buildings which had been demolished. Could this have been the school? Or was it an old farmhouse? Part of the problem seems to be the renaming of most of the roads in this area in the 1930's when the housing estate was built eg Hagg Lane to Hurlfield Road. Would be interesting to find the exact site of this school.

It’s a long time since I have crossed this bridge, but as a child we used to hang a rope from the cast iron railings, shin down it to save walking round, then use it as a rope swing in the middle of the road that is STorth lane. Also as you go across the bridge uphill, just over the bridge on the right there were the gardens of a house that was on Carsick hill, in the gardens was a 6 hole golf course and a lake, the fun we had secretly playing golf, building rafts and fishing in these ponds, often being chased away by the gardener

Crosses above Storth Lane at Nethergreen, but not sure of the road name, could it be Belgrave road?

Interesting, as the school on East Bank Road was called "Myrtle Springs" for some time in the 1980's to 2000's between being Hurlfield School and Springs Academy. Myrtle Springs itself is on the Arbourthorne but at one time this seems to have been part of Handsworth. We have previously discussed on this site the fact that the Noahs Arc pub on Mansfield Road once was referred to as in Handsworth and the water works on Hurlfield Road / Hagg Lane behind Myrtle Springs school still carries a name stone stating it to be Handsworth Water Works.

I've never heard of a Whiteley Wood House, but as HughW says there was a Whiteley Wood Hall. Whiteley Wood cottage, on Steve's map above, despite the name is a substantial house and would almost certainly have had domestic servants. Whiteley Wood Road was called Meadow Lane until 1912, which is when the houses on there were built, and the road renamed. The hall's most famous resident was Samuel Plimsoll, in the 1860's. In 1871 a family named Falding were in residence (Mrs Falding was Plimsoll's sister) The next resident was Alderman Thomas Robert Gainsford, who left in 1893 and moved to Woodthorpe Hall. He sold the Hall to Arnold Muir Wilson. Mr. Wilson's wife died in 1888 and he remarried to Amy Dearden shortly afterwards. In 1903 his health deteriorated and he started on a round the world tour, and never returned, dying in Vancouver 1/10/1909. That may account for HughW saying the owners appeared to be away. The nursemaid at the Hall was Lavinia Slack, who was 14 at the 1881 census. She married Henry Arthur Ibbotson, who was a groom/gardener. In 1891 they were then married and living at Whiteley Wood Yard. There's a little booklet entitled Whiteley Wood Hall published by the Girl Guides (who now use the site as an outdoor centre, the Hall having been demolished in 1959.)

Thanks Dave, forgotten I'd started that one. Now, somewhere is a remarkable text piece describing Bailey Lane and the 1,000 or so people that lived along its (short) length (150 yards ??); windows and drainage below the level of the street; quite revolting really.

Winter Street Hospital 1881-1976 Built 1881 at a cost of £20,000. It consisted of four blocks containing 80 beds and eight single-bedded wards (with airing courts on the roof). 1892 - the Nurses home was built, followed by an isolation block of four wards. 1898 - a row of cottages in Dart Square were taken over to house more tuberculosis patients. Before the First World War the main cases taken in were scarlet fever and diphtheria. Sheffield's Tuberculosis Scheme was discussed at meetings of the City Health Committee. In late 1913 the Council approved the principle of taking over cases of tuberculosis at that time dealt with by the Poor Law Authorities, and decided that there should be two separate sanatoria within easy reach of the city, one for men (150 beds) and one for women (c.100 beds). Approval was granted in January 1914 for the purchase of a site in the Rivelin Valley (for women); and in late 1914 it was decided that land at Buck Wood be purchased for site for male sanatorium. These were apparently not built, the onset of the First World War presumably putting an end to these plans. The hospital was handed over to the military authorities, to be used for military wounded, in March 1915. Wards had been prepared for this since October 1914 and the patients had been transferred out to Crimicar Lane Hospital on 25 February 1915. During the Second World War the hospital was again used for the military sick. After the war the hospital reverted to accommodating male and female tuberculosis cases, and had beds for 110 patients. Bed places were set at 103 in 1954 when beds placed in the middle of wards were removed to reduce overcrowding. Children at the hospital were transferred to Ash House Hospital School in 1957. Closure by March 1970 was proposed in November 1968; the patients would be transferred to Lodge Moor Hospital. In 1971 spending was approved to adapt the premises to form a geriatric day hospital with 40 places. In mid 1974 the 84 beds were too many for the staff to cope with and the number was reduced to 65. In October 1974 Trent Regional Health Authority put the upgrading of Winter St Hospital out to tender; during which works the patients were moved out elsewhere. On 10 December 1975 it was recommended that the proposal to rename the reopened hospital ' St George's Hospital' be passed to Sheffield Area Health Health Authority. ------------------------------- http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/rec...m=2008-06-18#-1

On Carver Lane, we lived in a bug-blackclock-mice-ridden hovel; toilet down the yard which was shared by four families. We were three brothers and slept in starvatious attic, no bedding, just old coats on bed. We didn't have a jerry and took the bucket upstairs. http://www.thestar.co.uk/memories/Home-was...ovel.3461886.jp

I was an apprentice electrician at Orgreave Coke Ovens from 1966 to 1970 and worked as a qualified tradesman until 1972 when I emigrated to Australia. I was amazed to see pictures of the confrontation at Orgreave on TV here in Oz. We came home to Sheffield for a holiday in 1995 and drove down Orgreave Lane. There were green fields and grazing sheep where the Coke ovens used to be. Seeing the picture of the Orgreave Plant on the BBC South Yorkshire website was quite a moving experience for me, it was the first time I had seen it since our first trip back home in 1978. I wonder what happened to Rotherwood Hall, the beautiful old manor house which had been converted to offices and a social club for Orgreave Plant Workers? It was situated in a wooded area between the coking plant and the colliery. I often wonder if it survived and if so, what became of it. From our correspondent, errr, Philip Geary ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/conten...e_stories.shtml

Springfield school is situated at the bottom of Broomspring Lane and I did my infant and junior schooling there. As I have lived in Australia since 1962, I dont see these places very often but I did visit the school in 1979 and again in 1999. See if you can guess which is the 1979 photo :)
