Apart from the wife in my shirt pocket - it was great ! Hope a few more folks "go for a walk" and post stuff, wish I'd made Figtree Lane/New Street, maybe West Bar. Don't much matter, just enjoyed a wander.

Burnt Tree Lane comes out on Meadow St near the pub.
-
:rolleyes: The trouble with you RichardB, you know too much. Yes it's Burnt Tree Lane which ran at the back of Meadow Inn now demolished. Where was Burnt Tree Tavern??? That was very interesting reading about Daniel Doncasters Mathew Street. I remember the playground and as I got older and the playground closed, they use to store old street gas lamps in there,loads of them.

Just in this minutes - back from Sheffield ! Burnt Tree Lane ? Behind the Tavern ?

Hi I used to work at WG Jenkinson which fronted onto Countess Rd as an apprentice in the 70s. The workshop went quite a way back toward Bramall Lane with entrances on both John St and Clough Rd. I was told that the origional buildings did form part the brewery, and many internal wall must have been removed by this time. What stands out in my memory were some 6/7 ft deep chamber, which housed the Serobend Tank (and gas heaters) and the pouring areas in which pipes were stood up right in which the molten Serobend was poured until the pipes were full, solidified and could be bent without risk of the pipe walls collapsing. This chamber underground were quite extensive and ceramic tiled, in places and i assumed was part of the brewery process, and had no idea until this post of a baths, i would imagine during the alterations in the 80s after WGJ had closed these were infilled.

Lydgate Lane Junior 1961-1965. Still looks much the same except the air raid shelters that were still there then look to have been filled in and grassed over. Firth Park Grammar 1965-1972 Sadly demolished after closure and then fire. Community College now built on the site.

Top Marks - I think the road is called Longley Lane over looking Longley Park! It look a lot better than I remember!

In the 1925 directory 951 Abbeydale road was one of a terrace of houses between Hutchinson road and Hutchinson lane,(opposite the bottom of Hastings road) - still at that time occupied by a 'victualler'. This terrace can still be seen on Google maps. Maybe she just changed the name to reflect the situation. The terrace stood between the old Ecclesall (Abbeydale) wheel and the Moscar wheel. The 1890s OS map shows the start of the transformation from a rural to suburban environment.

The first football match you went to...
Guest replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield Sport
Wednesday 5 Tottenham H 1, March 1st 1947. Jimmy Dailey scored a hat-trick. Cost a penny to get from Newhall to Hillsborough --ha'penny from Brightside Lane to town, ha'penny from town to the ground! Ah, what days! Such romance! -
HI RichardB I worked at Cockaynes before the war, this shop's frontage in Angel st was from just above Watsons walk ,down to the Angel Hotel about 60/80 ft, but Watsons walk did not go down to Angel st ,it went to Cockaynes Arcade a well known place at this time,which l would say was about 50 long, with a big widow and door into the shop on the right side facing W w; just above on the other side, was a News and grocers shop, about 20ft further it met Hartshead ,and Meeting House lane ,opposite was the Dove and Rainbow on a corner with Aldine Court which led to Fargate l dont recall another pub in Hartshead there at that time . Cheers Skeets

It sounds like the name of a house, but there is nothing of that name on the 1905 maps. A lot of the large detached houses in the Psalter lane, Cherry Tree Hill and Kenwood area do have names...but just as many don't. Nothing to be seen on the 1850s map either. Where is the reference from ?

T'owd Locals - New book on Sheffield Pubs by JR Wigley
dunsbyowl1867 posted a topic in Sheffield Pubs and WMC's
Here RichardB - an early Christmas present idea! T'owd Locals T'owd Locals (old public houses is the translation from yorkshire) is the latest Jack Wrigley book, focussing on old pubs. We have published several pub books but this is the first to concentrate on Hallam's historic hostelries (try and say that after a few pints). Available on youbooks later in October. ‘T’owd Locals’ contains more than 80 photographs of public houses taken during the late 1800s and early 1900s. These pubs were once at the centre of Sheffield life. Some of the pubs featured in the book still remain but many of these public houses of yesteryear are long forgotten. The photos do not just show the architecture of the pubs but more interestingly, captures snapshots of the atmosphere and living conditions of the time. It also shows how dramatically Sheffield has changed and developed. As well as the public houses, the pictures show us horse drawn coaches, adverts for rag, bone and skin merchants and the launch of the new tramway system in 1901. We also see scenes of life before the First World War, with a Whitsuntide procession going past the George and Dragon on Bank Street. This collection shows a Sheffield that is unrecognisable today. For example, it shows the Gale and Hullet’s Commercial Hotel as it stood at the corner of Haymarket Street and King Street in the 1890s. This building disappeared forever on December 8 1940 when it was directly hit during the Blitz. The Tontine Inn, Haymarket, which was Sheffield’s main coaching inn, is also featured. The Wilkinsons store now occupies the site where this important building once stood. Back then, public houses had a much more important role in society and were at the heart of many communities. The book shows us the Banner Cross Hotel on Ecclesall Road in 1920, where the inquest of murderer Charlie Peacelat was held. We also see the Fox and Grapes Inn on Meadowhall Road where miners used to collect their wages under the ‘Butty System’. The book includes photos of The Ashopton Inn, Derbyshire, which was a popular resort away from the grime of Sheffield. The Ashopton Inn disappeared in the 1930s with the construction of the Ladybower reservoir. Similarly, we see the Angel Inn on Button Lane. The site where this once popular local stood is now somewhere under Furnival Gate. The pictures show a completely different way of life, with people standing outside the public houses dressed in Edwardian and Victorian clothing. They show coach holidays setting off from the pubs and groups of children playing outside the establishments. “I was minded to show not only the buildings but also some of the atmosphere of the period,†J.R Wrigley says of his collection. The photos record an era that is long gone, “After most of our theatres and cinemas went we now see the disappearance of many of our pubs. One by one the shutters are going up. Our Victorian heritage has either been demolished or gutted,†Wrigley adds Many of the photos come from the collection of the late Horace Clayton who was a voracious collector of old Sheffield photographs and postcards and a great friend of the author. <Previous Next> Oct 13, 2008 at 09:40 AM http://youbooks.co.uk, Powered by Mambo and Designed by SiteGround web hosting

The Carlton Cinema, Arbourthorne sheffield.
Guest replied to a topic in Sheffield CInemas and Theatres
So you'd have lived a couple of doors up from the Days, then? Yes, the drying area served all nine flats in the block, which made for tremendous fun when everyone tried to wash on the same day... hehe (I wish we'd have had balconies, like the similar flats which were on Windyhouse Lane or those at Woodhouse.) -
This was posted in the 'other place' today if you're interested "The Sheffield WEA are offering a local history course on Charlie Peace The course begins on Weds 21st January, 7pm - 9pm and runs for 10 weeks.

The course is a ten week investigation into the life of one of the most notorious criminals of the nineteenth century. Using primary and secondary evidence we examine Peace within the context of nineteenth century Sheffield and against a backdrop of Victorian crime and penal reform. We examine Peace's burglary in Sheffield, his murder of a police constable in Manchester, the Dyson killing , arrest in London and his subsequent sensationalised trial. The second part of the course examines media coverage of Peace through the mediums of film, newspapers, comics, penny dreadfuls, museum commemoration and music hall. The course draws upon the disciplines of History, Criminology and Media Studies."

:blink: I can't remember the building on the left of the picture [ too young ] at the top of Dixon Lane. It looks as though it says Meadow above the shop, could it be a Meadow Dairy? I can see some scales in the window and doesn't it look busy.

Doing this from memory so may not be completely accurate... Pinstone Street - Used to be called Pinson Lane, so called because it had a trapezoid shaped pen used for keeping pigs which is called a pinson near it.
