In reference to the article in the previous post. "Old site new Connections." mentions a plan of Garden Street 1781. Plan of Hollis Croft 1787-9 posted previously. "Fairbank and Son undertook mapping of the area in the late 18th century. A plan was produced of Hollis Croft between 1787 and 1789 and an adjacent plan of Garden Street was completed earlier in 1781. The two plans taken together provide coverage of the entire site. A series of courts with houses are depicted, incorporating probable small-scale industrial and/or commercial enterprises on the northern frontage of Hollis Croft. A similar pattern is shown on the south side of Hollis croft, but here some of the industrial enterprises appear to be on a larger scale with a large plot consisting of buildings around a central courtyard owned by John Kenyon (the site of a saw and steel works; see below). The premises directly to the west of this fronting Garden Street were a tool and steel works owned by John Harrison (Wessex Archaeology 2018a)."

Plaque from Hollis Hospital. y00590 Leighton in the conversation below obviously doesn't quote it word for word, but the gist of it. Edit: All is revealed in a later posts containing another Plaque and in the Hollis Hospital.org. History.... Leighton quoting from an earlier "modest but ancient building" near the Cathedral with a Plaque. Extract from articles and letters from The Sheffield and Rotherham Independent 1872/3, edited by Robert Eadon Leader 1875. "Reminiscences, it's Streets and its People." Page 111. "Leighton: Standing with its side to Newhall Street and facing Millsands is Hollis's Hospital, or, as it used commonly to be called, Brown Hospital, built on the site of the first Dissenters' Chapel in the town. Its history is to be found in Hunter's Hallamshire; but the inscription on the Newhall Street- side, over a blocked-up doorway, may be recorded here, for although there seems to be no present prospect of its obliteration, when such things do disappear there is no recovering them : — "This Hospital, for sixteen poor aged Inhabitants of Sheffield or within two Miles round it, And School for fifty children, were founded by Thomas Hollis, of London, Cutler, 1703, And further endowed by his sons,Thomas Hollis, 1724, and John Hollis, 1726, And rebuilt more commodiously by the Trustees,1776." Everard: While almost everything else round here has changed, this building remains the same, close to busy thoroughfares, and yet, as it were, removed from them. Stepping down here, only a few yards from the noisy streets, has to some extent the effect of getting into a Cathedral close." Pages 189 &190. St. Thomas's Day in Hollis Croft. "Leighton: An old Hollis Croft public-house was "The Cock." Wragg: Yes, it was once kept by the father of the Mr. Jonathan Beardshaw, who has been mentioned as landlord of the Ball, Hawley Croft. His widow and his daughter's husband, named Henderson, also kept it. Leighton: Passing down the street, a few days ago, I found myself standing opposite to the house. I was sorry to see that the Cock had lost some of the *** plumage which adorned him so well 40 or 50 years ago; yet he still holds up his crest as proud as ever, and is ready to do battle as in the days of yore against all who shall presume to poach upon his domestic domain. I thought of the days that are long gone by, and of the old song : — "Bright Chanticleer proclaims the dawn. And spangles deck the sky." Again, "My Lord, the early village cock hath thrice Bid salutation to the morn." And again, that it was St. Thomas's Day. All hail to the founders of the Hollis Hospital, from whom the Croft takes its name. They are to be found recorded within the grounds at the bottom of Snig Hill, and a full history is given in Hunter's Hallamshire. The Trustees in their wisdom, and no doubt with the best intentions, let the ground in Hollis Croft on building leases for 900 years, the front at Is. per yard, and large pieces of ground at the back for nothing. That they were generous souls is sufficiently proved by their allowing three guineas to the tenantry to enable them to enjoy a good old English dinner. It was held at the "Cock," on St. Thomas's Day, and these are the names of some of those who took a delight in attending. There were three brothers of the name of Shepherd, two of whom I knew. They were invariably together, one of them walking about a yard in advance of the other. Other two brothers were Samuel and Benjamin Marples. I had the pleasure of knowing them well — honesty and truth were in them, and when one died the other could not live; he did not long survive his friend, his companion, his brother. Now, whatever I have said in praise of the above applies equally to those I shall mention below — Mr. Philip Law, Mr. John Spencer (Matthias Spencer and Son, Pea Croft); and oh, what delight I feel when I meet his venerable figure, and look upon his cheerful countenance. He will long be remembered. Mr. Jonathan Beardshaw, of whom more anon; Mr. John Hawksley, Mr. James Wild (of whom you have heard before), Messrs. Shirtcliffe, Skinner, Barraclough (Messrs. Wingfield and Rowbotham), Benjamin Leathley, Thomas Makin, Charles Sanderson, and various others. Their descendants are still amongst us, keeping up the good names of their families. The dinner is over, the usual loyal toasts are given, the land-lord ordered; the spirits, the lemons, the sugar & etc, are brought in, and Mr, Beardshaw, in accordance with the time-honoured custom, is called to mix the punch. He consults his friends. A little more lemon, says Mr. Wild; a little more sugar, says another; and the mirth begins. Mr. Beardshaw is called upon to sing his song of the "Flat Backs": — " To mak 'em we are willin, A basket full for a shillin, Red herrins and potatoes Our bellies to be fillin." But though times were bad with them, they could still be generous with the ale, and "Pray the' gie Steen (Stephen) a sup, for he is varry dry, his throat is full of smithy sleek, the wind has been so high." Other songs followed. The old warlike ones were not forgotten. "Let the song go round, let the shouts resound, Let the trumpet sound on Spanish ground; Let the cvmbals bang, with a merry, merry clang, To the joys of the next campaign — To the joys of the next campaign." Amidst all the mirth and jollity which prevailed, one thing was never forgotten, a subscription for the poor widows of the street. It was always a liberal one, and I have no doubt carried comfort and consolation along with it. It is not always a pleasure to recall the past, but in the course of a pretty long life I have experienced a full share of bright sunshine, to which I can look back with pleasure; and some of the moments I passed on St. Thomas's Day, at the sign of the " Cock," are among these. Several of those whom I have named above could well afford to ride in their own carriages, but they were plain men, and would have felt ashamed to have been seen in them; but in these days, when wealth is accumulated by leaps and bounds. "Some drive along with four in hand. While others drive at random, In wisky-buggy, gig or dog-cart, Curricle or tandem." Twiss: When speaking of fraternal affection of Samuel and Benjamin Marples you might have added that, inseparable as they were, it was the rarest thing in the world to see them without their wives. The four were always together, and formed a most harmonious quartette."

"Reminiscences of Sheffield, it's, Streets and it's People." Pages 89-91 Johnson: In the lower part of King Street, where is now Mr. Hunt's flour shop, was formerly the father of Mr. John Jones, before he removed into the premises still occupied by his son in the Market Place. Leonard: I remember the Square just above there, now represented by Garside and Shaw's timber yard and Castle Court, where fruit and fish dealers congregated. It was called "The Green Market," and was disused after December, 1851. Everard: Ah, that market was formed on the site of the old debtors' gaol, taken down in 1818. A curious place, indeed, according to our notions. It was a stone building, not very large, the gaoler being Godfrey Fox. People were incarcerated there for ridiculously small debts, and often for alehouse scores. The prisoners used to work at their trades, and you might hear cutlers and file-cutters hammering away as if they had been in their shops. Friends brought the work and took it back again, and also supplied the prisoners with food. Leonard: The debtors then made themselves tolerably comfortable? Everard: Oh, dear yes. It was a ***** kind of imprisonment. The gaol was often thronged with visitors until nine o'clock. There was a prisoner in each room, above and below, who solicited the passers-by to "remember the poor prisoners." The one above had a tin box suspended by a string; and the other, in the lower room, with his hand through the window, held a similar box. Twiss: In 1791, at the same time that Broomhall was attacked, the mob destroyed the doors and windows of the gaol and the house of Godfrey Fox, and liberated the prisoners. It was the prison for the liberty of Hallamshire, and the property of the Duke of Norfolk. Everard: There were two classes of prisoners, the fees in what was called the "High Court" being 25s.; in the "Low Court," only 6d. There was, in addition, "garnish," 2s. 6d. for the High Court, and Is. 2d. for the Low, with which coals, candles and soap were bought for the common benefit of the prisoners. Nield, in his "Remarks on the Prisons of Yorkshire," describes his visits to the place in 1802. There was, he reported, no chaplain, nor any religious attention paid to the prisoners. Mr. Moorhouse, the surgeon to the overseers of the poor, attended to the sick. The High Court prisoners had a room about five yards square, which had two windows looking into the street. Up-stairs there were four rooms, two for men to sleep in, and one for women, the fourth being used as a workshop. The keeper furnished beds at 10d. per week, two sleeping in a bed. The Low Court prisoners, or those detained for debts under 40s. (three months' imprisonment being held to release them from their debt and costs), had two rooms, about five yards by four, with a fire-place, and iron-grated windows looking into the court. In these they worked and slept, which made them "filthy beyond description." Four rooms had lately been added at the top of the house, one of which was used for the women at night. Twiss: When Howard, the prison philanthropist, visited the place sometime before, it would seem that these upper rooms were not in existence, for he reported that there were only two rooms, which were also used as night rooms for debtors of both sexes. Leonard: Nield adds that the Low Court prisoners found their own straw and firing. The courtyard had a damp earthen floor, and was about ten yards by six. Both sexes associated together in it; and at his visit on Sunday, the 15th August, 1802, the Low Court prisoners were busy sifting cinders in it, the ashes of which they sold for three shillings a load. Everard: After Godfrey Fox, Thomas Smith, constable, was gaoler, and at the same time kept the "Royal Oak," which was next to the gaol. On the gaol being pulled down, he and the prisoners removed to the premises in Scotland Street, formerly a merchant's warehouse, with the house adjoining as his residence. Mr. Joseph Kirk succeeded him. Wragg: Thirty years ago, in one of the little market shops that then stood on the site of the old gaol, was Mrs. Horsfield, the mother of two Unitarian ministers, the Rev. T. W. Horsfield, the historian of Lewes, and the Rev. Frederick Horsfield. Debtor's Prisons. https://institutionalhistory.com/debtors-prisons/ The Law in Sheffield: From Sheffield Castle to West Bar.

    Living Conditions

    The photographs in earlier posts of housing due for demolition or in need of urgent repair you can see where donkey stoning the steps had been carried out. Even living in the shadow of the steelworks etc. and all the dirt and noise that was generated around them, they were still proud of their own home and kept it clean the best they could. Rear of No. 1 Wood Fold and back doorway of No. 175, Woodside Lane, 26th June 1957. demolished January 1960. s20695 It's unfortunate there isn't many photographs of interiors of the houses. Most of the photographs I've seen have been taken by the Council, Engineers & Surveyors Dept. or the Medical Officer of Health when reports have been needed to support the need for repair or demolition some through bomb damage but often through neglect by the Landlord. These photographs are often the only image there is of the house where they or their family lived. Sometimes only being able to say that space or the pile of bricks is all they have; or in my case the outside toilets of the neighbours. I only found that out because the City Engineers had written on the photograph identifying the derelict workshop they were attached to. From a map, discovered they were the outside toilets at the rear of Nos.1,3,5 & 7 Goulder Place, the houses were demolished some years before. "Goulder Place, workshop fronting Broughton Lane, taken 1st December 1962 by the City Engineers and Surveyors Office." The site is now part of Sheffield Arena Car Park. 1970, I took some photographs for a College project in the Carbrook area where my Grandmother had lived for a time. Demolition was well under way but there were some houses still occupied and even while demolition was going on around them, those steps were still being donkey stoned and the windows cleaned. Two ladies about their task thought I was from the Council but soon became friendlier when they discovered I wasn't. They hadn't wanted to move at first but were now looking forward to moving, and were missing their neighbours who'd already moved away.
  24. White Bear Yard. A quote from Archives and Local Studies Study Leaflet. "Street Names of Central Sheffield." "A lane will admit some traffic; an alley has front doors in it; a jennel runs between the side walls of buildings; but a yard is a weird and wonderful thing. lt begins as the yard of an inn - the middle part of the White Bear Yard still exists as a jennel behind the Victoria Hall" Can we find more information about White Bear Inn and White Bear Yard and Walk?
