Scotland Street, Morpeth Street & Wheeldon Lane

I don't what the numbering is like in the street now, but in the 19th century it appears that no. 12 Scotland Street was some distance from the Chapel. In White's 1879 Directory (online at http://www.historicaldirectories.org) the Chapel is between 56 and 58 Scotland Street. Number 12 is much closer to West Bar Green. Number 14 was a beerhouse called The Union which was apparently already open by 1800. I found two different addresses in the street for the Wilds' business (in the directories at Sheffield Indexers): Wild, Benjamin (pearl & stag scale cutter). ct. 76 Scotland Street; h. top of Bailey Lane, in 1833. Recorded in: Whites History & Directory of Sheffield - 1833. Wild, Benjamin & Ebenezer (pear handle and scale cutters). Residing at 15 Scotland Street, in 1837. Recorded in: Whites Directory of Sheffield & Rotherham - 1837. Hugh -

Hello Cath, There has been a Chapel on that site in Scotland Street since 1760 (according to the Sheffield Local Register). In 1790 the Chapel was taken over by the Wesleyan New Connexion faction of the Methodists. In 1828 the Chapel was demolished and a new chapel built. The building with the name LITTLEWOOD over the door is a hall attached to the chapel rather than the chapel itself. The cost of the hall was donated by William Lewis LITTLEWOOD, a coal merchant. Littlewood was not a Methodist - *not true, he was a Methodist, as his obituary makes clear, and at the same time a churchwarden at St Luke's (he was a churchwarden in the Anglican Parish of St Luke's, Solly Street) but he and and his wife Mary gave money to a number of religious causes and denominations. My interest in them is due to the bells that they donated to St Mary's Walkley. The hall was opened in October 1897. Here is a short extract from a report of that event: *correction 26 January 2016 Sheffield Daily Telegraph 5 Oct 1897 page 9 column c OPENING OF THE LITTLEWOOD MEMORIAL HALL. – Local members of the Methodist New Connexion body assembled in large numbers at Scotland Street Chapel yesterday afternoon for the purpose of attending the services associated with the opening of the hall which has been built by Mr. W.L.Littlewood. The build- ing, which was designed by Messrs. Flockton, Gibbs, and Flockton, has been erected next to the chapel and makes an admirable corner to Furnace Hill. There is a large lecture room, a church parlour, a caretaker’s house, and a cafe, and it is hoped by means of the latter to place a restraining influence on the intemperance of the locality. ...

Scotland Street, Morpeth Street & Wheeldon Lane

Hiya I've been into town today to look round some old ancestral buildings(not that i found much!) and so have a few questions about the places i went, hope someone knows. These are places where my ancestors, the Wilds, either lived or worked. They were Cutlery manufacturers(mainly pen and pocket knifes). Firstly Scotland Street. In 1834 Ebenezer and Benjamin Wild were working from 12 Scotland Street. Now i found a 12 Scotland street but it was a chapel and according to the inscribed stone it has been since 1828. Not sure what it was called but it is dedicated to Littlewood? Anyone have any ideas? Morpeth Street - My uncle used to live at number 82. It is, and looks like it always has been, industrial? Does anyone know if there used to be house there? Wheeldon lane. It's on Google maps and i found what i thought was this but it wasn't a road as such cause it had concrete bollards blocking the entrance. I was looking for Wheeldon Works which was on there, just off broad lane but it look like something to do with the University and just led me to Solly Street. Thanks for any info Cath x -
Two national days of celebration were declared following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The main event, for the whole population, was to be on Saturday 19th July 1919. But before that, on Thursday 17th, there was a children's day. In Sheffield all 90,000 schoolchildren took part in some way. There was a central event in Town Hall Square, and 5 others in city parks or open spaces. This is a rather murky picture from the Sheffield Daily Independent (18 Jul 1919): This is taken at the central event in Town Hall Square. The main characters portrayed are the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, but the three girls are wearing a familiar style of dress. In fact, (and this is probably wishful thinking) compare the girl on the left with the girl third from left in the third row in the main photograph! The children assembled first at their schools. Each was at that point to be given a peace medal (though in the end some didn't receive their's till after the event). Here is a photograph of the medal... Although representatives from every school were present at the Town Hall there wasn't room for everyone, so contningents would have headed for the 'satellite' events, which were held at Meersbrook Park, High Hazels Park, Crookesmoor Recreation Ground (?Ponderosa), Hillsborough Park, and Firth Park. For a school group from the area of Hermitage Street I am guessing that they might go to Meersbrook Park. This is a list of the schools represented there: Gleadless Road C. Heeley Bank C. Norton Lees C. Norton C. Meersbrook Bank C. Woodseats C. Heeley C.E. St. Barnabas' (Cecil Rd) St. Barnabas' (Alderson Rd.) St. Simon's C.E. St. Silas' C.E. Abbeydale C. St. Mary's C.E. Valley Road Myope Sharrow Lane C. (Junior) Duchess Road C. (Junior) Lowfield C. Carter Knowle C. St. Wilfred's R.C. Pomona Street C. St. Marie's R.C. I am not sure what the 'C' on its own is - county?! City?? ... Hugh

JohnM, Isn't this the pub being talked about? Wellington Inn 124 Carlisle Road Open 1868 Closed Span Comments Earlier 1948 Albert Leek 1951 Albert Leek The photo is the Wellington at the corner of Brightside Lane & Hawke Street (the one the Germans used to navigate their bombing runs during the war).

It certainly was The Wellington. All of us who worked at English Steel Corp on Brightside Lane in the 1960's used it a lot. In the late 50's and early 60's the melting shop men from the Open Hearth furnaces ( which closed about 1963 I think) used to get their beer from there. They got it in large 5 gallon containers and it was used to replenish the liquid they lost from the heat- before salt tablets were used !! I worked with an old melter about 1965 and he thought nothing of drinking in excess of 20 pints in a day !!
