    Sir Reresby Sitwell Bt

    Part of the old Sitwell Road still exists, just a short stretch either side of the grounds of the new Sharrow School, built beside Mount Pleasant Park. There is also a "Sitwell Place" just around the corner. http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=Sitwell+R...20England,%20S7 there are minor errors, this map shows the Sharrow Lane end as being quite long, when in fact it's the drive to the school, now.

    Where were You?

    We'd moved to Nottinghamshire by then. Came here 26 years ago and though I have fond memories of living in Sheffield, it's much quieter living here and the traffic's not as busy. It's much warmer here and flatter. I used to cycle from Greenhill to Dore sometimes when I worked at the school there as a dinner lady. Abbey Lane used to be a bit tricky at times, so I often rode on the pavement to so that I didn't hold the buses up. he he

    Well, it used to be called ...

    Tom Cross Lane became ... Arras Street (S9) was previously called ... (think WW1)
  10. RichardB

    Well, it used to be called ...

    1900 is apparently spot on ... First one is steep indeed , won't get very far in a car; no exit at the top. Houses only on one side (to the best of my memory). The next Street along is steeper still (THE STEEPEST) ! You're about 100 yards from the back of a (closed) Full Monty building. Second one less steep, leads onto third one - again no exit. Only one way in and out (via Road number 1). Built as a part of a kind of private estate. The last two "roads" share a common word, one is a View, one (the last one) isn't a Road, Street, Lane, Avenue - it's just one word (the word common to both). Looking at my details might help, I was born on the first one, lived on the second one then ended up out the top end of the third one - near a very flat Road indeed. Hope this helps.

    Was Harvest Lane Apple Street or Orchard Street?
  12. RichardB

    Well, it used to be called ...

    Two which though of interest are too subtle to be messing around with : Addey Street became Addy Street April 1915 (S6 district) and Allen's Lane became Allen Street (S3)

    Well, it used to be called ...

    Got there in the end! "Close to Fitzwilliam street I have seen growing as fine a crop of wheat as ever gladdened the heart of a Yorkshire farmer ; and at that time Broomhall street, or 'Black Lamb's lane,' as it was called, was considered rather a dangerous place to go along at night." Think I know the 't' cock tail one as well, but I'll give someone else a shot To throw one in the mix, what is Shaws-Close (Or Oxley-Croft) better known as today?
  14. Now, I'm not sure that I'm completely right, because of the "upper" and "lower" bit, which is throwing me a little. However, my late grandpa grew up in an area of Netherthorpe/ surroundings called "The Canada", which was somewhere above Summer Street, (which was where my Grandma was from.) so I'd say about Summer Street-cum-Mushroom Lane area, sort of nearing the road by Crookes Valley Park.
  15. It's still here but known as Burton House these days. We drive through it regularly I say drive 'through' it because Burton lane starts just past the junction of Church street and Haggstones road and coming round a blind bend you find yourself in what looks like a farmyard !! I've seen people so convinced they're in a farmyard they have turned round and headed back down Church street. Worth a trip to look at the house, you would need to park a bit further up the hill outside the cemetery,— it's been modernised a bit but is still obviously very old.

    Norton Aerodrome

    I was stationed at RAF Norton from 1959 to 1960. I recently wondered what had happened to the station after I had left and looked on Google. I quickly discovered that entering RAF Norton in the search box brought forth very many entries for RAF Brize Norton, and a few for the other three “Nortons”. One other “Norton” was RAF Norton Disney in Lincolnshire, one was RAF Norton Woodseats and one was RAF Norton. Information concerning RAF Norton is very slight and I have therefore decided to put together a non-commercial (probably means stapled together) document including as much history as I can gather on the station. To clear up one point first, RAF Norton (just beyond Gleadless and reaching as far as Lightwood Lane) was not an airfield and it had no runway. There were annual air shows in the 1950s/60s but all the fixed wing aircraft participating simply flew over. I do remember, however, that helicopters landed on the station during the shows. RAF Norton Woodseats, about which I know very little (except that it keeps confusing the RAF Norton story!) was, I believe, further out into Derbyshire and it was an airfield. However, it was closed (I believe) before I arrived at RAF Norton and therefore I don’t believe I even heard of it at the time. I am busy gathering information from various sources and you will see soon, if it hasn’t appeared already, in the Sheffield Daily Star’s Diary column, an article concerning the beginning of my project. I hope to maybe hear from other people their memories of the station. I would be grateful if those who have posted photos on this forum would be kind enough to give me authority to use them. Obviously I will acknowledge the source and will send each contributor a copy of the finished item. This will undoubtedly take me several (many?) months and I will try not to drop off the perch before it is finished!!. I am tempted to avoid the question of the gate guardian aircraft but to do so would leave a gap in my document so I will see what I can find out. Meanwhile I would be very grateful for any other information which readers of this entry might have unearthed since they last contributed. My e-mail site for this project is nortonfacts@googlemail.com. I am particularly keen to obtain a copy of the RAF Norton site plan which, until quite recently, was posted on the internet by the Gleadless Historical Society. However, just as I want it, it has disappeared just as the society itself appears to have disappeared from the internet. If anyone has a copy or can run it down for me I would be most grateful. I look forward to hearing from you. Derek Read

    Black Lamb's Lane is now Janson Street?

    Brick Lane became ? Nursery Street was formerly known as ?
  19. Reviving this topic because I have found another windmill that I've never seen mentioned anywhere, but hope someone has more info. This is a post type windmill that stood at the top of Millhouses lane. It is shown on the 1850 map but not on the OS survey of 1894. Neither is it shown on Fairbank's map of 1795 although he does show the windmill on Western bank. What seems odd is that a new post type windmill should have been erected at this time (ie after 1795) when tower type mills had become the norm. Perhaps the mill on Western bank was relocated to Silver Hill ? Silver Hill in 1850 Location - Google maps. http://www.earthtools.org/index.php?x=-1.5...p;t=7&m=Map skeets - I didn't see your post back in October. Royds Mill in Attercliffe was a water powered mill.

  21. Those gate posts at the side of the shop are still there. They are sited at the bottom of the steps that lad down from the Mushroom Lane end of the tip. They must have been moved when the buildings were demolished.
  22. Guest

    Only the gate posts are left

    Just noticed this....thank you. The posts on Upwell street are the old gateposts to a farm known as Manor Farm in Grimesthorpe. The others I remember were on Hinde House lane opposite the junction with Little Blosover road. They were the old gateposts to Page Hall farm - the old farmhouse would have stood approximately where Hinde street crosses Robey street. You can see Skinnerthorpe and Page Hall farms on this map... Manor Farm is the buildings above and to the right of the 'y' in Grimesthorpe Colliery.
  23. Hi Dean, I'm not sure if Albert belongs to me or not. My Fenwicks in my family tree came from the Park District of Sheffield, I think this Albert lived at Mushroom Lane, no links found yet. Thanks anyway Michelle
