  1. As above, there was a plan to have a route over Psalter Lane, in fact a junction was installed at the Ecclesall Road for a few years. There were also electricity feeder cables for the tramway that didn't necessarily follow the actual route, this could be one forming part of a link between Ecclesall Road and Nether Edge.
  2. The Sheffield Corporation Act of 1900 gave powers for a number of tram routes to be constructed, some of which were never followed up. One of these was the route from the junction of Cemetery Road and Washington Road, along the upper part of Cemetery Road and Psalter Lane to Banner Cross, with a link along Cowlishaw Road and Junction Road to Hunters Bar. Discussion of this progressed as far as a proposal in May 1900 to pave Cemetery Road in granite when the tram lines from Washington Road to Sharrow Head were laid. During 1908 Psalter Lane residents held meetings against the proposed extension, they said that the existing Ecclesall and Nether Edge services were adequate and that Psalter Lane was the only main route out of Sheffield unspoiled by tramcars. There were calls in council meetings to veto the extension, for which authorisation had been renewed in a 1907 Act, and in 1909 the plan for this extension was abandoned. By then the Corporation were trialling motor buses for new routes, for which they had received the authorisation in 1907 . The electricity supply system was initially shaped by the huge requirements of the tramways. In 1902 the Sheaf Street power station was changed over to 50Hz generation, more suitable for lighting. In 1904 the Neepsend power station came into use.
  3. Just had a look at some of the old route maps and posts on the subject and saw mentions of routes being changed and extended. There's a reference to there once being an 'Ecclesall terminus' and the route being extended 'to Millhouses Lane'. Perhaps the answer is the trams did go that way at one time but they re-routed it as the network was extended? If the maps tend to show the final layout of the system, it might not show how it changed over time? https://www.mediastorehouse.co.uk/sheffield-city-archives/maps-plans/sheffield-corporation-tramways-parks-14050142.html
  4. Out walking yesterday ( Tues 20 Feb ) I noticed in the footpath on Cemetery Road at Sharrow Head, the junction of Psalter Lane and Sharrow Vale Road, the service box shown in the attached photo. as far as I am aware and I have just looked at a map of the old tram network on the web, the trams didn't run up Cemetery Road to the top, but turned at the Washington Road junction to proceed to Nether Edge. What's the reason for that box outside 309 Cemetery Road ? I'm intrigued, may be a straightforward answer.

  8. The Cotton Mill replaced an earlier Silk Mill of about 1760 which burned down 1792. After a fire in 1828 the Cotton Mill was converted to Sheffield Workhouse, part of which was utilised as a hospital for the Cholera epidemic 1832 and Sheffield Flood of 1864. William Bower leased the former named Kelham Wheel, building a Silk Mill sited to the south east of the original wheel, taking water through a secondary channel diverging from Kelham head race. Featured on 1771 Town Map of Fairbank and in more detail drawn to accompany the lease of 1773. Only functioning briefly, as Bower was declared bankrupt 1774.

Built on either side of the secondary race, incorporating the abandoned cutlers wheel. A valuation survey describes a water wheel 19ft diameter and 21ft wide, producing power adequate enough for 70 cutlers troughs. Fire damaged in 1792 and running again by 1794.

The Cotton Mill was operated by Water Power until after another fire August 1810 when steam power was introduced. The freehold was sold in 1815, showing there were two Cotton Mills, the steam powered one the Silk Mill site (becoming the Workhouse in 1828) and a smaller water powered mill, converted from the Kelham grinding wheel, also housing a 20hp. Boulton & Watt steam engine. Kelham Wheel reverted to being a grinding wheel.

    A Quite Difficult Question

    Tsavo posted 10th April 2007 Come on Richard, put me out of my misery! Who was it? RichardB posted 10th April 2007. I was sure you were going to get this, you even mentioned the authors name in a posting, saying you hoped for more time now your family had gone back home !!!! At the top of the street, next to the Church Gates, on the site of Pawson and Brailsford's present premises, was the iron- monger's shop of Thomas Heaton, Town Trustee and Church Burgess. When the old Town Hall was built, close to him, in I700, he supplied the "chaines" for the hall candlestick. He was elected a member of the Town Trust in I724. A tombstone in the churchyard records that he died December I9, I734, in the 48th year of his age, and tells us that " He was easy and agreeable in every path of private life, and useful to the publick as a member of the three publick bodies of the Town, the Church, and the Free School, and died generally lamented." Then follow the names of his wife and of a number of their daughters, who long remained in occupation of the High Street premises, ending with " Hellen, the last survivor of this truly Respectable Family, who departed this life, the I8th June, I795." We get an instructive glimpse of the High Street of the past in a reference to Mr. Heaton's property in a document dated I726.* In that year Heaton leased to the Rev. John Balguy " part of his garden adjoining the Boys' Charity School." On this Mr. Balguy built a dwelling-house, and it is evident that Mr. Heaton's garden had extended behind his shop, for the whole length of the churchyard, to the Charity School. Mr. Balguy was at one time a teacher in the Grammar School, where his father had been headmaster from I664 to I696; and mention of him brings us into connection with another High Street worthy and Town Trustee, Mr. Christopher Broomhead, for the Rev. John Balguy married one of Christopher Broomhead's daughters; Mr. Robert Drake, surgeon, another; and Mr. Christopher Robinson, headmaster of the Gran mar School, and the author of various theological books " Local Notes and Queries," Sheffield Indepenednt, March I5, 1877. + Gatty's Hunter's " Hallamshire," pp. 250,255, 308-9.

Information from The Story of Sheffield High Street, from 16th Century to Modern Times, by Pat Dallman. "At the beginning of the 1700's the house next to the church gates, which in the previous century has belonged to the Creswick and Joshua Bayes, came into the possession of Joseph Banks, the attorney. He sold it in 1710 to Thomas Heaton, an ironmonger and his shop with its post and chains across the front, became a well known feature of the town centre. Thomas was born in 1686 and married wife Sarah in 1718." They had 7 daughters, one of which, Helen lived there until her death 1795. Advertised for Sale in the Iris 28th August 1795. "Most eligible and advantageous situated in High Street, Sheffield; near the old Church, and consists of two Dwelling Houses with Shops to the front and one other Dwelling House fronting the Church Yard, with several Outbuildings an Appurtenances thereto adjoining and belonging; also a Carriage Road from the uppermost part of the Yard to Campo Lane. The extent of the front to High Street is about 19 yards and fronting the Church near 80 yards." Plan of the tenements and ground belonging to the late E.
