The bus was still in service in Sheffield after I was born (April 1960) family legend says that during a visit to an aunt at Loxley we were waiting for a bus at campo lane to go to loxley when I spat my dummy out Mother asked the lady in the canteen bus if she would wash if for me . Unfortunatley I cant remember and my big brother cant remember which canteen bus it was - whats the point of having an elder brother when they dont remember the important stuff

Hi Skeets, - If I remember correctly there was a pub a little way down Carwood road or Carwood lane called the Hall Carr ? I only visited it once, probably thirty years ago - nice little old fashioned 2-room pub. The big house up on the corner I think was St. Andrews vicarage and there was also a parish hall. I remember too along Grimesthorpe road what seemed to be a wall with small circular windows in it - this I found out later was called Woodhill House which faced down the hill with very little of it to be seen from the road.

Here is another one of Dixon Lane if anyone is interested. Look how busy it is!!

Thanks, - nice to have a mystery solved. The Whitehouse was still on the corner of Cherry street, in the photo you can see the frontage of the Olympia building beyond the cottages and beyond that the fence/hoardings that bordered the Sheaf House Athletics Ground. The Whitehouse photo looks to have been taken from an upstairs room of the pub that stood on the corner of Hill street and Bramall lane, and the Olympia photo taken from the bottom of Alderson place. That area was a stomping ground for me as a youngster and the ground floor windows of that Olympia building seem very familiar. We used to sneak in to Lavers via the side gate on Cherry street to watch the big saw working, —it was a 10 or 12 foot diameter circular saw (as often featured in the old silent films) and the huge tree trunks were fed onto it with an overhead crane. That would be around 1947/48...we usually got chased out by one of the workers.

Sorry that should have been Neepsend Lane. -
The tall building with the fancy roof-line that can be seen in the background of the Whitehouses picture was probably a skating rink. In the 1910 directory it is listed as the property of Sheffield and Olympia Rinks Ltd., Shoreham street and Bramall lane. By 1917 the site was listed as Lockwood & Co., Engineers. It looks as though the Whiteshouses site was bought by the Anchor Brewery on Cherrry street and the main house let to the horse-keeper for the brewery's horses which were stabled on the site.

I've been comparing it with the 1905 OS map and there are some indicators to it's date although they seem contradictory. In the Sharrow area for example this map shows the church on the corner of Sharrow lane and South View road which I believe was built around 1905, yet nearby roads such as South View crescent, Rampton road and Ainsty road are devoid of houses which contradicts the 1905 OS map. Perhaps all we can claim for it is that it dates from about 1905/06. Perhaps the tram routes can give a better indication ? My tramways book is on loan at present so I can't check. -
Took this picture from the stairwell at the back of the office block I work in, looking North (ish). Shows a few building sites which are now complete as appartments and offices. The site on Broad lane below the HSE building is now at foundation stage with a tower crane installed.

If that is the Ebeneezer chapel in the background there is something wrong somewhere. It was on the opposite side of Brammal lane to the Whitehouses :confused: And I believe the family name was originally Bramhall but Sheffielders never had much truck with aitches he he

The Roll of Honour (printed in the Star's book Sheffield Blitz says: LAWRENCE George Herbert, age 52. Husband of Elsie Lawrence, of Belmont, Hathersage, Derbyshire. December 13, 1940, at Laurel Works, Nursery Street. This is a picture of the Laurel Works. Picture Sheffield also has the name 'Lawrence Geo H Ltd' as a keyword for a picture of the Green Lane Works so he may also have worked there at some point. This is likely to be the entry for George and Elsie in the marriage index: GRO Marriages DEC Qtr 1916 BOLTON Elsie (spouse: Lawrence) Sheffield 9c 1193 LAWRENCE George H (spouse: Bolton) Sheffield 9c 1193 Hugh

Dear Forum. I am trying to find out about the actual routes and operators of the horse omnibus services to Walkley (and Crookes). I have found references to the following: City-Shalesmoor-Upperthorpe- Common Side ( Springvale Hotel) using 4 horses. City - Broad Lane- Harcourt Road (City- )West End Hotel- Northumberland Road- Common Side (was a horse tram ever used along the tracks to the West End?) Any suggestions? RB

Under the heading Making Files in Sheffield ,posted today by Dunsbyowl, read about The FitzalanWorks.It states that there was a wharf on the canal where shipping was done with Hull. I have a map of Sheffield dated 1849 showing that the Fitzalan Works were east of Washford Bridge next to the Blast Lane towpath. http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/i...amp;#entry25093

I'm feeling a need to generate a listing of all Pork butchers (obviously Victorian/Edwardian); Funk's of Hillsborough - is it still there ? Bottom of Dykes Hall Road, but formerly of Holme Lane. Oh God, RichardB's going off on one again; Tsavo HIDE !!!!!

Great find....there's another article on that site on the making of pen-knife blades but rather short. The Fitzalan Works were between the canal and Effingham road where it joins Attercliffe road, - opposite the old Non-Pots club, but in those days Effingam road was known as Blast lane. The article does bring home just how hard people had to work for their living in those days. Imagine having to accurately hit a chisel many thousands of times a day with a 9lb hammer :o

Can't let that go Heeley was a big area but it wasn't in Highfield; and neither was Highfield in Heeley. I suppose Sheffield Wednesday FC was formed on the border of Heeley and Highfield. I did read somewhere that it was formed from the Wednesday Cricket Club who used to play on the pitch behind the Sheaf House Hotel on Bramall lane. This - the Sheaf House Ground was later covered by the SCT bus garage and Laver's Saw Mills. The Owls later used some fields at Olive Grove and elsewhere before they settled at Owlerton. There's very little detailed info on the Sheffield FC website - perhaps there's an official published history you need to buy

Firth Park and its Surroundings Bell Houses demolished c 1925 - I am currently researching local history and collecting material with a view to writing a book about the Firth Park area and its surroundings. Firth Park did not exist before the opening of the actual park in 1875 and was totally rural. Since then the whole area around has changed rapidly over the years, more so in the last 40 or 50 years. If you any information, photographs, memories or stories you would be willing to share with me about the past, please get in touch. This can be about school, work, play, church, the way we lived, housing, the people we knew or simply some story or memory handed down. Photographs can be copied by myself and returned to the owner if required. The main area of coverage will be Firth Park, Page Hall, Fir Vale up towards Firs Hill, Longley, Sheffield Lane Top, up towards the Flower Estate though anything of particular interest just outside these areas may be included. If there isn't sufficient material for a book then everything collected will be deposited in the Local Studies Library in Sheffield so it isn't 'lost'. Thanks
