The Noahs Ark is at or near the junction of Mansfield Rd and Hollinsend Rd so it is likely that at least 2 are the same place Not quite sure of "Four Lane Ends" Handsworth, You can't really describe that area as Handsworth, will dig a little deeper

Godfrey Maps of Sheffield 1901 - 1905 Index of names dwellings S-Z,
Guest replied to Bayleaf's topic in Sheffield Maps
HI Bayleaf As a young lad we used to go up by the side of Firshill school, there were some allotment gardens to the right ,a steep path led to several small fishing ponds. O pposite there was a large house with a high stone wall and l seem to recall this gate[ pictured,] set in this wall afew years later someone had a riding school behind this wall , am l in the right area. or was it up Shirecliffe Lane on the right Skeets. -
Had another quick look, I think the town centre is about 200 to 300 feet above sea level and that Hagg Lane Tanks on Hurlfield Road, identifiable as the small brown area above the letter G in Gleadless is about 700 to 800 feet. Counting the contours inbetween gives them as 100 foot contours. from this it should be possible now to match each colour to a specific 100 foot height range. {Didn't Man Gill teach me Geography well}

Compensation has been agreed between United and West Ham, but now everyone wants to jump on the bandwaggon, and ahve their slice of the cash --making a mockery of it all. The sad truth is that all this could have been spared if the FA and the Premier League had acted at the time. All they had to do was dock WHU enough points to ensure they went down. But what can you expect when you see who is at the top in both these organisations. As for United, it is sad they went down, but, you know, if Mr Warnock had set his stall out to win that last match, they would have been safe. It seems to me that Warnock (the Sheffield Star's favourite manager --he still gets a regular mention even as Crystal Palace manager!) was so sure that Man United would beat West Ham on the last day that he felt the result at Bramall Lane didn't really matter. Of course, he says he wants compensation, but how will he compensate the club for not having ensured United would beat Wigan that day? By the way, the Premier League probably felt they, too, didn't need to act because Man United would save them the trouble by sending West Ham down. Nobody realised that Man Un wanted Tevez, and....

Then & Now - Sheffield Trams
Waterside Echo replied to Stuart0742's topic in Sheffield Buses, Trams and Trains
Thankyou `Stuart742`. The phone box in these pictures on Abbey Lane brought back many happy memories. 1965- Whilst waiting to depart on service 53 I would go to that phone box to ring my then girlfriend at her place of work. Then, if I was driving on service 61/63 I would nip across to call her as the bus, normally a Leyland PD2/1 would usually be empty at that point. 1966- Service 53 was then relocated to Low Edges. 1967- Fell out with girlfriend then met my future wife and proposed to her at Low Edges terminus on the back seat of bus 369 [ the only Sheffield bus to be fitted with electrically operated front doors] and she said `yes ` Not one of the most romantic places I must admit, but it did last for 27 years. Those red phone boxes are few and far between now, but I hope that one will be there for a few more years yet. -
I know Trenton Wigan! Great lad. The last time i saw him was in the Royal Oak on Gower street about 18 months ago. He got me my tickets for the derby at Bramall Lane, April 1980, we drew 1 - 1 with United, the return fixture after the 'Boxing Day massacre'. He lived on Sturton rd, i think his family are still there, just round the corner from us. Benita, if you want to PM me i do know a bit more about Trenton. Dean.

Private Reginald George Collins d 12/13.12.1940
dunsbyowl1867 replied to ceegee's topic in Sheffield War Years and The Sheffield Blitz
Hi Ceegee If you look at a map you can see Cherry Street crosses both Lancing Road and Shoreham Street. The whole area took a pasting as can be seen in the wartime photos of Bramhall Lane. from Sheffield Forum "The Anchor Brewery on Cherry St,was Tomlinsons and that Arnold Lavers wood yard is now where it used to stand.it was severely damaged during the Sheffield blitz,At the other side of the Sheffield United ground was Britania Brewery (John Richdale)" A number of civilians died in both Lancing & Shoreham and are recorded on the Civilian Roll of Honour. I suppose the delay may have been problems with identification or it may have took some time to discover his body? Hope that helps? -
Most pictures of Hyde Park flats show them from the town sitting high up on the hill behind the Park Hill flats (the two seem to be frequently confused). Since 1991 the Hyde Parks flats have been partially demolished and partially renovated (initially for the world student games which we the taxpayers are still paying for almost 20 years later!!) and so now look totally different to what they did prior to that date. In this 1974 picture the flats are viewed from the bottom of Manor lane, the opposite side to that normally seen and are in their original form.

Crosspool in the Great War
Guest replied to GnrEaton's topic in Sheffield War Years and The Sheffield Blitz
Dan, this is what i have on the Gosney's. If it's the same family there were 6 of em' in 1901 at 301 Lydgate Lane. James, Ernest, Bernard, Herbert, George, and Charles, but Charles is listed on the census as being 2 years old ? Typo ? George Gosney, 41752 Pte. 6th Yorks Regt. Died of wounds 12/10/17. Son of Mary Ann Gosney, of Hagg Farm, Manchester Road. Ernest Gosney, R/38128 Rifleman 11th K.R.R.C. Died. 30/11/17 ( so some other cause as opposed to KIA or D of Wd's ). Son of the late Mr & Mrs John Gosney, husband of Margaret Ann Gosney. These two appear on an headstone at Christ Church Fulwood, of which a have a copy if you need it. I also have an Herbert Gosney, who was wounded while a driver with the R.F.A. I have a pic of this lad. Then, if you take a look at the census results for the Gosneys, the next address down is Lydgate Hall, home of Horatio Bright. I'm sure there's a piece on Eric Youles web pages about him. Well he had a son, Horatio H. Bright, which i think must be this lad, Horatio Harle Bright who was KIA. There is a discrepency in the date on the Flying Cert and his CWGC Cert. Here with Horatio's Royal Aero Club flying certificate. Dean.

Markbaby reminded me of this book I have because of where he lives. The book is "The Changing Face Of Gleadless" by the author and artist Pauline Shearstone. This book is only available from Gleadless Townend post Office priced £9:95, although when it was first printed Pauline was selling autographed copies of her book in Gleadless Library on Whites Lane. Apparently Pauline has another, bigger, more detailed and more expensive book called "A history of Gleadless" which is quite elusive and hard to find, wouldn't mind a copy of it if I ever see one for sale.

I wonder if we knew each other? I went to Owler Lane (1949) Grimesthorpe (1951) Sheffield City Grammer in 1955.

You go straight down Brightside Lane to the very bottom, and it bends to left (that's where the terminus was). On your right as you turned used to be the old Jessop works (it has all changed now). Then, after you have turned, the first road on your right is Weedon Street (if you go on there, you go over a bridge, and it bends and takes you to Tinsley). I haven't been down there for a very long time, but I am sure there was always two railway bridges over the top of the road, as on the pix. I am not sure if they are both still there, but I suspect they might be. Anyway, it is definitely Brightside terminus.

Sheffield's Railway Stations
Stuart0742 replied to Stuart0742's topic in Sheffield Buses, Trams and Trains
Chapeltown (GC) Location Opened Rebuilt 1880's Closed 07/12/1953 Chapeltown Central railway station was situated on the former South Yorkshire Railway's Blackburn Valley line between Grange Lane and Westwood. The station which was also known as Chapeltown and Thorncliffe was intended to serve Chapeltown, although about 1 mile from its centre. It also served the works of Newton, Chambers & Company, one of the largest industrial companies in the area.

I remember a story from way back in the eighties when a convicted murderer escaped from prison. The thing that sticks in my mind is that he only had one eye and was wearing a patch (shouldn't be too hard to catch ya might think ! He was convicted of muredering a man after picking him up in the public loos on Mushroom Lane near Crookes Valley Park. I never heard of this bloke being recaptured, can anyone fill in the detail. Please

I used to go to the White House chippy at the top of Rock Lane, Pitsmoor, when I was a lad. That would have been around 1960. They always used to smell great. My mother used to send me ,and the parcel of chips and fishcakes (with salt and vinegar on) used to seem enormous. The only time I have fish and chips now is when we go to the East Coast.

Hi DaveH, The road you are thinking about was Stock Road. However Vineys was a general store not a fish and chip shop. Steads was on the junction of Manor Lane and Warley Road. jiginc

WW1: Harold Chapman & John Wheelhouse
Guest replied to Beery's topic in Sheffield War Years and The Sheffield Blitz
Beery, i dont have anything on any of your relatives. I do have an image of a Harry Wheelhouse, and basic details for a William Wheelhouse of HMS 'Pincher'. There's also an M. Wheelhouse on the Victoria Hall Methodist Roll of Honour. Any relation do you think ? Chapman. H. Served. St. Mary's Roll of Honour, Bramall Lane. Dean. -
More memories bus tokens, cant remember when or why I used them but definately did, Unfortunately I was a problem child (not like yourself) and the two years I was there I didnt go very often, much to my dissapointment now, I then went to live with dad at parsons cross and went to yew lane school. I do remember all the names Mr Headley was the headteacher and mrs Moore was the dep head I think. I hated doing P E and every week I refused or deliberatly forgot my kit I would be sent to Mr headley or Miss Moore for the cane and to sit outside the office untill PE was over, Untill one week the pe teacher (I forgot her name but was the same as the male pe teacher ? Smith) decided she had enough of sending me to the office and fetched in A kit for me This was several sizes to big, big white baggy t shirt and enormous navy blue pants slippers a couple of sizes to big, and off i was marched down to netball. I played netball trying to hold the pants up and kicking slippers everywhere it was really funny and despite everything I really enjoyed it. My other memory of the school was being allowed to work in the office for two weeks making coffee and learning to use the telephone system which was an original switchbouard you know the ones you used to pull out and connect into another, I think I eventually got the hang of it, but not without a lot of mistakes like cutting everbody off and putting people through to the wrong ones good fun. I spoke to my mum and she said I would have gone to Norfolk anyhow, I lived on the hyde park flats previously. we moved to the wybourn as I was going from one to the other. I think from what I have read about you you did photography at Norfolk, I have two pictures of sheffield city centre which my sister debs did whilst at norfolk (she is two years younger than me ) That I would like to add but dont know what sizes they need to be could you help, One is taken from a roof top and she can remember where, I am sure someone will know.

Hi, Sorry I'm late with a reply to an old topic. Storthes Hall was a mental health facility much like the old Middlewood Hospital. It was located in Kirkburton ( 53 deg., 36', 25 N: 1deg. 43' 52''w) on, suprisingly, Storthes Hall Lane. As a child, I spent some very happy hours around the hospital (I wasn't a patient), its spacious grounds andthe general area, during and after WWII. Family members were on staff at the hospital until the mid 1950's During the war, the hospital didn't have a regular siren to warn of a possible raid but had a ships hooter (from an old destroyer I think). I remember being roused a couple of times by this strange "hooping" sound. Regards

Looking for Photos of Ancestors: Chapman, Bates, Ibberson, Tagg, Wheelhouse, Weston and Blackwell
Baldy67 replied to Beery's topic in Sheffield Genealogy
Don't know if this is any help but, i have 7 Ibberson's on my tree William c.1823 and Sarah (nee Carnall) Ibberson c.1824, who had 6 Children, Mary c.1845, Catherine b.1847,m.1872,d.1920, Joseph c.1851, George c.1853 and ofcourse a Sarah c.1856 and a William c.1859. I think you can find these on the 1861 census at 21 Norfolk Lane, Sheffield. Catherine married Joseph Roberts 3.8.1872 and are my great great grandparents. With Ibberson being quite an unusual surname, your Thomas Ibberson at a guess is probably a cousin of Catherine.
