    Photographs of Water Lane.

    Hi, I am looking for photos of Water Lane, Sheffield. Preferably around the period 1860 -1900, I would be most grateful for any information. Many Thanks Anthony
  9. Parker's Lane car park, which is on the corner of Whitham Rd and Parker's Lane, to the right of the Nottingham House pub, also has an area of grass with mini stone terracing for sitting on (I presume). There are also garden gateposts (see pic) with fairly recent railings with inlays which have various items embedded such as open razor, fork etc. Does anyone have any info on all or parts of this site ? If the gates led to a house it would be approximately numbered between 160-140 Whitham Rd. Cheers.

    Furnace Hill

    Snippets of information about Furnace Hill from an extract of: Reminiscences of old Sheffield, it's Street and its People. From letters Editor Robert Eadon Leader, from articles and letters in The Sheffield and Rotherham Independent 1872/3. Pages 129-131. Twiss: There is a curious story told of the manner in which the further part of Westbar was raised to its present level. At one time, it is said, that portion between Westbar Green and Gibraltar Street was so low, that a person standing at the bottom of Furnace Hill might with ease have leapt upon a load of hay passing down the street. There was then a converting furnace at the bottom of the hill, which was worked with only one box or pot. By some mismanagement the whole mass of iron was melted together in one huge solid block of steel, there being in the furnace at the time some ten tons of metal. Nothing could be done with this when it was cold, and after it had lain in the yard a great number of years, proceedings began to be taken for filling up the road below. The best employment that could be thought of for the mass of steel, was to let it go towards filling up the road. The tradition has been handed down by very old men, and if there be any truth in it the steel is still there, waiting to astonish some antiquaries of the future. Wragg: The Bower Spring troughs were reputed to contain the best drinking water in the town. It came from Furnace Hill, as was proved when Messrs. Hudson & Clarke erected their engine. That stopped the water, and Messrs. Gaunt & Turton's works were then built where the troughs had been. Johnson: It was Mr. Turton who built the Bower Spring works in the old Workhouse gardens, leaving Mr. Gaunt on Furnace Hill. This would be between the years 1825-8. The history of Mr. Gaunt 's business is worth tracing. It was sold to Richard Griffiths, who, having come to the town from his native Wales as a carter to Brittain and Wilkinson's, of Carver Street, got initiated into the mysteries of steel converting, and ultimately became manager at Sanderson's. His son, for whom the business was intended, died; his son-in-law let it slip, and it was sold to Thomas Gatley, the son of a gardener at Attercliffe who had kept one of the stalls on the King Street side of the market. Young Gatley was himself apprenticed to Isaac Deakin, penblade maker (son-in-law of George Merrill, fork maker, Harvest Lane), and afterwards had a scrap shop in Gibraltar Street, near "The Cherry Tree." Then he was at the bottom of Furnace Hill, late Mr. Joshua Wortley's. Having acquired money, he bought Gaunt's business, and subsequently sold it to Mr. Wm. Jackson, Sheaf Island Works. He acquired much of the property about here. Like so many other worthies whom we have had to notice, Mr. Gatley was connected with Queen Street Chapel — until 1834, when he seceded and was the means of establishing Mount Zion Chapel, the congregation of which met in a room over a shop in Carver Lane while the chapel was building. Leighton: Furnace Hill was formerly called "t' Cock Tail;" I haven't the remotest notion why. "The Cock Tail Lady" was celebrated by Mather; and "Buck Hathard," the son of a tailor, was also one of the "characters" it produced. Mr. Peech, a scissor manufacturer here, was the father-in law of Henry Steel, who has made himself a name among the frequenters of the turf, and "t' Cocktail" had the honour of contributing a soldier to the Life Guards in the person of Samuel Wragg, who, and his son as well, was a cutler here. Wragg: The Quaker family, the Broadheads, have been associated with Westbar and the neighbourhood throughout the present century. Mr. John Broadhead, then a maltster, was in Scotland Street, next door to the chapel. Then he came to the bottom of Furnace Hill, subsequently crossing to the other side of Westbar, where the grocer's shop has been ever since. Mr. John Broadhead died in 1838. It is a little singular that not only did his son Alfred succeed to his own grocery business, but that four of his five daughters married grocers. Johnson: Two trade notes may be made here. One is that "frame polishing" may be said to have had its birth in Furnace Hill — that is polishing spring knives without the aid of steam or water power. It was originated by l Mark Blackwell (landlord of "The Grapes") and his brother George, by way of resisting a strike of the grinders. And it succeeded too. The other is that the first nail cut in Sheffield is said to have been made down the yard by the "Dog and Partridge the old public-house almost opposite to the bottom of the hill. Wragg: The Andrew family is closely identified with this locality. Old Joseph Andrew was a prosperous grocer and tallow chandler in Furnace Hill before this century began. Three of his sons, Isaac, Matthew and Joseph, were grocers, the first-named in West bar at the corner of Hicks Lane, the second in Charles Street, and the third, first (1825) in Paradise Square and afterwards (1833) in West Bar Green. Two other sons, twins, were William Henry and Albert George. They succeeded to the business of Messrs. George Butler and Co., spring knife cutlers, in Trinity Street, which was afterwards removed to Trinity Works, Eyre Street, the old premises becoming Mr. Longden's foundry. Isaac Andrew was, in his later years, blind. His brother Joseph was the father of John Henry Andrew, steel manufacturer, a member of the present Corporation, and of Mrs. Crowther, Fargate. The Butlers employed a larger number of men than any other house in the trade when the "statements" of 1810 and 1814 were made.

    Wire Mill at Ringinglow

    Interestingly the Dyson brothers, Joseph and James crossed the paths of history in later life - in 1864 thanks to the Sheffield flood. The 2 brothers hailed from Thurgoland and in 1864 they were both employed at a wireworks on Bradfield Road, Hillsborough. Joseph (the manager there) and his family lived in Brick Row, Holme Lane where James lodged during the week while his family lived in Thurgoland. On the night of Friday March 10 / 11 the Dale Dike dam at Bradfield burst and the flood killed over 200 people in the Sheffield area. The flood destroyed Brick Row and Joseph and most of his family were killed - one child was away that night and survived - but James escaped by breaking through the roof and he escaped and was reunited with his own family a couple of days later - his wife had come by train to Sheffield to try and find him and he caught the train back home! My partner is James’s g-g-granddaughter and every time we go into the Norfolk Arms we think of him, his relatives and their experiences of that terrible night.

    Judging by this previous thread on SH about Co-Op’s, the Bocking Lane branch doesn’t look anything like the photo???
  24. It appears that the tradition of naming collieries as "Main" originated in the North East at an early date. The "Main" seam coal was so attractive that even collieries that did not extract coal from the Main seam began to use the name, and "Main" became synonymous with Mine" :
  25. My granddad Robert sustained a broken spine as a result of being crushed between a full tub of coal and the pit side of Nunnerley colliery on 14 May 1947. He died in the Sheffield Royal Infirmary on the 16th. The coroner for the City of Sheffield raised an inquest on the 17th. Would anyone know if I can see a copy of this? Also, would grandma have received any compensation? Many thanks, Derek.
