Alma Cottage Stephen lane Sheet 288.07 Grenoside 1901 -
I know this is probably in the wrong place but i thought it might get a bit more 'exposure' here, please move if need be. Would love to find these, i cant believe when these church's were pulled down they 'binned' the memorials, they must have gone somewhere. St Michaels and All Angels. 'The War Memorial in the Lady Chapel consists of a large brass containing 162 names, with the inscription: "This tablet is erected in grateful memory of the men of this parish and congregation of St. Michael's , Neepsend, who gave their lives for their country in the Great War, 1914-1918. May they rest in peace." The cost was £170.00. Demolished in 1955. St Simons, Eyre Street. 'The War Memorial, in the south aisle, a neat oak tablet bearing the names of ninety-six men who fell in the Great War, was erected at a cost of £30.00'. Suffered bomb damage and was demolished in the 40's, it was then united with St Marys, Bramall Lane, i'm wondering if the St Simon's one was binned and they 'merged' their Rolls into the large one now at St Marys? St Bartholomews, Carbrook. The War Memorial includes an oak tablet bearing the names of sixty-three parishioners who fell in the Great War, and an oak credence table, the total cost of which was £80.00'. Closed in 1967. St Mathias Church, Summerfield Street. The War Memorial consists of a carved communion table and reredos, with lofty oak panelling on each side, erected at a cost of £520.00; the sum for the communion table was contributed and collected by the scholars and teachers of the Sunday School. A brass plate in the baptistry bears the names of seventy-nine men who fell in the Great War'. Demolished 1950's. The Congregational Church, Springvale road. Now Byron Bond Architects, this was 'nicked' in 1991. Brunswick Wesleyan Sunday Schools. Among other things - "A Marble Tablet containing the names of those who lost their lives through the War, to be placed in the porch in front of the Chapel". I have details of about another half dozen Rolls, but I have details as to where they 'should' be! Any help at all much appreciated, Dean.

We lived up at Greenhill in 1978 and I remember my husband walking to work in Tapton as buses couldn't get up Abbey Lane and we couldn't get the car out of the garage because of the snow. The kids thought it was great as I used to take them to school on a sledge, at that time schools didn't close because of the snow Love the photos

This is the corner of Wadsley Lane and Middlewood Road, under the white arch it says 1910

The walls still there on the extreme left. You have to imagine another track on the left as there were 4 tracks here. In the background of the picture with the lads in it you can just make out Brightside signal box. And in answer to the question about the gate its yes the one at the top of station lane.

Spot on, I lived there from 1959 to 1993, and my Mum still lives there! My Mum & Dad got a house there in the Winter of 1958 because they were in slum clearance from Woodside Lane. When my mother took my Grandma up there on the 101 bus to look at the new house before they moved in, my Gran asked my mother "what do you want to live out in the wilds for?"

Gramps is right there. A bit more information : My book on Shiregreen states that the Lane Top paddocks were established in 1830 by Tom Booth. There was s large stallion box built for the St Ledger winner Charles XII (which cost £3,000 in 1841 - the horse that is!) One of the most famous race horses was Kings Messenger that won the Goodwood Cup in 1898 and the Great Metropolitan Stakes in 1899. Other great race horses included Adventurer Pretender Who can be seen here! https://www.picturesheffield.com/s09683 Ragimunde which won the Cesarewitch in 1891. LAter owners of the Paddocks included Sir Robert Jardine and a Mr Wilson who took over from him and it was he who was forced to sell in 1920.

Hi Dean, Peter & Gramps There are a few photos on Picture Sheffield of the Paddocks but I assume developed during the Victorian/Edwardian period. http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk/cgi-bin/...jpgh/s09729.jpg Is there a chance that all that land belonged to the Wilkinson family of Crowder House. They owned the Brush House estate as well as the land in Longley Park and Cliffe House ( a dower house) at Lane Top as well.
-
Thanks for that Gramps, much appreciated. If the building was connected to the racing stables, do we have names of people who lived there to tie in with the initials on the stone? Failing that where/who do i see at the council that could answer this? Dean. Gramps, just noticed on the map you referred to for Shiregreen, that there was a Corn Mill at Sheffield Lane Top, interesting.

Was it some spare bollards, - or just a load of bollards!! Could be the joy riders I suppose but you can still get a motorbike through the gaps. However, when the road was bollarded the pavement of City Road was extended across the end of Windy House Lane to make it continuous.

Films of Sheffield Trams from Photobucket

The turn just below Lane Top looked a bit scary, I've seen the odd photo of trams toppled over - do you think it ever happened there. You don't get this problem at Crich! ;-) -

Best Owls Striker EVER ?
kevstones replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Football Club
I believe top of the list has to be Derek Dooley because of his prolific scoring record upto his accident. But, when I first went to Hillsborough, Johnny Fantham was my hero. Mick Jones was the favourite for the other side of the city. I went to the Sheffield derby in the mid 60's when there was a full house of 59000+ and I must have seen 5 minutes of that match. All I can remember was the Blades scoring in the 86th minute and the kop surging forward and having a glimpse of the Leppings Lane erupting. Never saw the goals. Spent all my time moving up and down the kop. Happy days Kevin -
The Sheffield City Battalion had a Sgt's Mess at Olympia, Bramall Lane. The 'Twelfth Club', was made up of members of the 12th Bn. who had served with the regiment on or before 1st July 1916. During 1919 they had monthly 'Smoking Concerts from Jan - Jun. By Sept. the club had moved to the Imperial rooms on Pinstone St. ( from Sheffield City Battalion, Ralph Gibson & Paul Oldfield ) Dean.

hi I went to the launch of the new book at trippit lane and brought my older brother along. Dave Senior one of the artists mentioned in the book.

Hi Russ, thanks for posting the pics, as always I'm struck by the wonderful handwriting, on even such a mundane doccument as a rent book! The Olympia we were looking for originally was a cinema, somewhere on Bramhall Lane. This also became a Skating Rink in later life I think. No plans for a specific section on Skating Rinks, but they could be included under Cinemas and Theatres where they'd be most welcome. Or you could make it your life's work finding the locations and history of all the other rinks. Go on give it a whirl! We'll all help, so how about it? Laurence PS I've tweaked the photo a little, hope that's OK.

Farfield is the area where the Farfield Pub is at Neepsend. Centrefield and Gatefield were in the Upperthorpe area. I believe they were both on land which was once owned by the Woollen family. Their estates were divided and sold in the early 19th century. A map prepared by Martin Olive from various sources shows the area in 1832. Gatefield Farm was directly behind the Kelvin Grove Pub. Further up Woollen Lane was a house called Gatefield owned by John Heppenstall. Centre Field is shown as an area between Penistone Road and Infirmary Road, opposite the Infirmary (Infirmary Road is shown as 'Walkley Road' on Martin's map. BelgianWhelkSmugglerfield was settled by political refugees in 1815-16. They were allowed passage by the personal order of Wellington because of their assistance in supplying the British army with food during the campaign which led to Waterloo. Bavarian Sausage Stuffers also applied for permission to settle in Sheffield but Wellington gave them the boot. HairyWildebeestfield is clearly made up I'm afraid. Hugh
