St Mary's on what I think is the junction of Bramhall Lane and St Mary's Gate.

Can someone put a name to this church on the corner of Rowland Road and Bramall Lane, please.

Thanks - it's the ones actually on School Green Lane that I'm looking for (and the 2 or 3 in my list)

Hi i know its a long shot, but does anyone have any old photos of Weddings that took place at St Barts Church, Carbrook - the top of carbrook street from 1950's-onwards. I lived over the wall from there Newton terrace and saw many a wedding stood in our yard with my chin on our wall looking over .. My Grandad was the caretaker. What it is i have searched and searched but can't find a picture of the row of houses I lived in if someone took a photo of a wedding maybe they might have took the picture of our house as well. Since back then there was no cropping or enhancing pic's so I might get lucky.. I also tell people where i lived but no one seemes to remember these houses there was a row of houses at the front of us. just before clifton street going towards broughton lane. i lived there from 1955-69 when we had to move as was being demolished. but my aunt had the house before us before taking over the Excelcior pub top of Carbrook Street. Ii am also looking for any photo's taken on the same side of the church looking across. where all the row of shops was. for example. Lants chip shop./samick motors etc... but lower if anyone has them passed Carbrook St where Jacksons chip shop was... here's hoping.. Thanks

The Victory Cinema ( or "Bughut" as we all called it) was on the left hand side of Upwell Street going from Upwell Lane ( where Reform Chapel was on the corner ) towards Brightside, and was just before Chambers Lane intersected on the opposite side. I seem to recall there was a Doctors surgery close to it as well as the sweet shop. The building shown in the earlier photo was as you say a theatre - it was on the same side of Upwell St as Reform Chapel. I can't remember the name but I am sure someone on the Sheffield Forum website Grimesthorpe thread will know. I will ask. The Victory was great - all the kids went on Saturday mornings . I went to Reform Chapel and Grimesthorpe School ; my grandma lived on Rothay Road.

Here are some of them, can anyone add the rest? Dog & Partridge, 56 Trippet Lane. Hillsborough Hotel, 54 Langsett Road. New Barrack Tavern, Penistone Road. Norfolk Arms*, Carlisle Street East. North Pole*, Sussex Street. Old Crown, 137 London Road. Red Deer, Pitt Street. *Riverside Court Hotel (Brown Cow/Riverside, Mowbray Street) Nursery Street? Rutland Arms, 86 Brown Street. The Pheasant, (Stumble Inn) 436 Attercliffe Common. The Bull & Mouth (Tap & Barrel), Waingate. White Lion, 615 London Road. Rivelin Hotel, Tofts Lane. ps. I have *'Riverside Court Hotel' Nursery Street, before it became the 'Brown Cow' ... needs checking out please

Reading a book last night I came across reference to the theatre referred to as the "Palace of Variety" not the Regent? It also said it was the Victory cinema which was known as a flea pit or the "Bug Hut"!

Hi, Can anyone help me out. The first football match I every attended was at Bramall Lane with my Dad. I can't remember exactly what year it was but would have been mid-late 1950's. The game was a charity match between SU and an All Star team. Again all I can remember is that Mike & Bernie Winters and Tommy Steele were in the all star team. Can anyone tell me the year and who played for the All Star team? Yoadbear

Does anyone have any info on Frank Shaw Barker. What I do know is that he was born around 1881 and his Father Joseph was believed to be a glass blower. Frank was married to Sarah Coupland, late Cartwright, formerly Liversidge and the family lived in Surrey Road, Darnall. After Sarah's death in 1926, Frank re-married Frances Congreve, formerly Franks. Frank Barker was a Coal Miner and lived in or around Darnall from at least 1908 and may have worked at Tinsley Park Colliery, he died in 1948 and is buried in Coventry Road Cemetery. Have tried the Census returns, BMD entries all to no gain. Frank was my Great Grandfather and I'm keen to learn more about him and his parents as my family tree on his line has come to an abrupt halt. Hope someone out there can help, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Thank you Steve. I recall there was a newsagent across the road called 'Victory Stores' which all sounds a bit like Orwell's 1984. My Grandad did say it was a bit of a 'flea pit'.

RichardB .Someone mentioned Stubbin lane, in fact there is an estate called Stubbin ,runs parallel with Stubbin lane, l know this co's l was the housing inspector for the area, it stretches from the top of Stubbin lane ,down Barnsley rd to Horninglow rd , then back to Stubbin lane , giving that this estate may be named after a hamlet named Stubbin, this could be the answer.
