John Curr obtained a patent for flat rope in November 1798. John Currs 1798 flat rope patent The rope was made by stitching together several round ropes. The advantage was that for winding up coal from a pit the flat rope effectively increased the diameter of the pulley as the load neared the top, allowing the speed to increase, the weight of rope decreasing as it wrapped around the pulley. Initially he bought in round rope from others, to stitch together using machinery which was situated on the site that would later be the lake in the grounds of "The Farm" and was within yards of his new 1803 house, Belle-Vue. By 1803 he had made arrangements for a warehouse in Tipton to service the West Midland Coal industry with his products. In April 1803 the cost of the ropes was a shilling per pound, with a month's credit, and the coal masters to pay for the carriage by barge. The ropes were warranted to last as long as six to eight round ropes of equal weight. Almost immediately though, users found problems with durability due to the quality of the round rope incorporated in Curr's product. Curr investigated and obtained two further patents: in March 1806 for spinning hemp to make yarn, and in August 1806 for twisting that yarn to make round rope. He then commenced making his own round rope in various sizes up to 7 inches in circumference. In 1807 Curr's patent round ropes were also being made in the ropery of W.Bourne and Son at Hull, for shipping use. Curr's round rope was a good product in itself and contributed to the quality of his flat ropes. Description of Currs Rope patents By 1813 rope production was so successful that it warranted a dedicated ropery building. The works he put up in 1813 (see Fairbanks' plan), was between his house, Belle-Vue, and the town, the land being an addition to the land already on lease from the Duke. Plan of Currs Leases from the Duke There were four storeys to the works, the three lower ones were occupied as cottages or perhaps warehousing, and the rope making was carried out on the fourth, which was continuous for the length of the building. The ropery crossed the already existing South Street, so an arch was required to allow traffic along the street. Derbyshire Archaeological Society Bulletin No 15 (Spring 2000) refers to two Josiah Fairbanks field books in Sheffield Archives (ref SAFC FB 137 & 138 ) which supposedly show a railway between Curr's (flat) "Rope place" on the site of The Farm's lake, and the later (round) Ropery. By 1820 Curr had sold the rope patent rights and manufacturing machinery to Richard and William Furley of Gainsborough, who also maintained a warehouse in Tipton. When no longer required to operate as a ropery, probably in the 1840s, the building was reduced in height and partitioned, to facilitate its use as 2 room cottages. Possibly some of the lower storeys had previously been used as warehousing for raw materials and finished goods. The length of Ropery Row was originally about 270 yards and it was still the full length in 1823. By 1831 the row had been broken up with a section in the centre removed, so it was down to about 180 yards. The 1850 map shows it as comprising 2 sections - "Low Ropery" which was probably where the meeting rooms were, west of South street, and the eastern section comprising 22 dwellings, 100 yards long. Large rooms remained in existence above the Low Ropery section. In the 1850s there was a school there. The United Methodist Church (Shrewsbury Road) were based in the Row in the late 1850s, and in 1872 there was a Temperance Hall. Political meetings of 500 electors were held there in 1886 and 1892. In 1876 Sale Memorial Church (St Lukes) was erected on this site of the western end of the Ropery, part of which had been purchased and demolished for the purpose. In 1841 the census showed almost half the one-up-one-down cottages in the Row unoccupied and in that year Mr. Mudford was operating a ropery in a large room above three of the cottages. From the 1851 to the 1911 census the cottages were numbered 1 to 21 and fully occupied. The Row was demolished in 1912, at which time there was a chip shop at one end, seen in the PictureSheffield photo (incorrectly dated as 1925 - it appears in a 1912 newspaper article about the demolition).

Yes, it was loud!! Living at Brinsworth at the time, we thought the lad who lived over the back was having a loud party outside while his parents were away on holiday. Then realised it was the Springsteen Concert. It was louder than the Def Leppard Concert at Don Valley Stadium some years later, that after the Sound Check the day before was turned down a few notches.

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. Ante, p. 174. Source : REMINISCENCES OF SHEFFIELD by R. E. LEADER CHAPTER 13 - HIGH STREET and OLD INNS. This is the property of the Heaton's and surrounding. 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.

A visit to Green Lane Works and Eagle Works in Kelham just after the site had been cleared of the ancillary buildings. January and February 2012. Please do get in touch in you have any more old photos, or history of the sites. I am trying to compile a historic timeline from the early days of Kelham.

I also left home in 1965 to get married. We had bought a house off Elm Lane at Lane Top . “Aunt Gladys” and her sister ran the Mikado Drink Shop. I put a piece on here a while ago reminiscing about the place…the home made ice lollies and the back room where invited kids were invited to watch TV…….when TVs were a rarity!

I left home in 1965 to get married and I expect I remember the greengrocers as Roses on the odd occasion I'd gone shopping with my mum to Firth Park (we lived at Sheffield Lane Top) My sister in law knew Jim Smith and he possibly took over the Bellhouse shop in the mid 1960s? I don't remember a Smiths Greengrocers on Stubbin Lane but do remember the Mikado drink shop where my father took myself and my sister every Saturday afternoon after we had visited Firth Park Library.

OS Map 1890's indicating the position and angle of the "Unidentified Photograph" u01080. We're hoping to identify the name for the beerhouse/public house. My interpretation of the position is slightly further back, thus bringing into shot the street lamp on the corner of Hawley Croft and Hawley Lane marked on the map with a line and the letter L. Information from Directories and Census Returns indicates it is No. 3 Hawley Lane. Drawn Map from Pub on Every Corner, by Will Bray from 1988. Please be aware the book was compiled before the digitalisation of Local Studies Picture Collection when many photographs were not catalogued or available for study nor were Census of the period available. It doesn't show the whole of Hawley Lane which extended from Silver Street Head, across Hawley Croft to School Croft with the Rawson Hotel (Arms), School Croft opposite. The full length of Hawley Lane is drawn in pale green and the Reindeer PH marked with a purple circle and Identified with the arrow. Information researched from Directories and photographs.

Page 247-248. Wragg: ..... Near, in Milk Street, is Mr. Bowling's School, celebrated as being kept by the late Mr. J. H. Abraham, who, besides having the best school in the town, was of a mechanical turn of mind, for in 1822 he invented a magnetic apparatus for the protection of persons employed in dry grinding. Twiss: A testimonial was presented to him in that year, "in token of respect for his talents, and in acknowledgment of his services to an afflicted class of workmen by his ingenious invention;" and he also received the gold medal of the Society of Arts for the same invention. Johnson: Like many other things that are theoretically sound, the magnetic apparatus was practically useless. The great complaint against it was, I believe, that it was speedily choked with the fragments of metal attracted, and then the respiration of the workman was distressingly hindered.

I may be wrong here and apologise if I am but the original picture put on by History dude looks to me like the tunnel/bridge at Coisley Hill just below the Block Houses on Coisley Road. If that is so as kids it was always known as The Tunnel though I think it was just quite a long under bridge. It seems to me to have been accepted as the bridge under Normanton Hill into Birley West pit but if you look at the 1938 picture above of a wagon loading coal at the land-sale site of the old Birley West site you can see how steep that hill is and the difference in gradient to the first picture.
