What does "main" mean in a colliery name ?
History dude replied to JS2021's topic in Sheffield History Chat
Coal is found at different levels in the ground. And in different seams. The main seam would be the biggest deposit of coal in a seam. The seams were given names like Parkgate and Silkstone etc. -
What does "main" mean in a colliery name ?
Busmansholiday replied to JS2021's topic in Sheffield History Chat
Yes, I believe it's to do with the fact that the pits are all removing coal from the same seam (layer) of coal. -

What does "main" mean in a colliery name ?
winco1960 replied to JS2021's topic in Sheffield History Chat
My wife used to work for the coal board at Queens House in Sheffield dealing with accident claims during the eighties. Until the miners strike there were 56 collieries in Yorkshire. Only 6 had the word "Main" in the title. Barnsley, Hickleton, Houghton, Manvers, Markham and Yorkshire ( Doncaster ). From her recollections she believes these sites had multiple shafts and were linked. For instance Manvers was linked underground with Wath, Barnburgh and Kilnhurst but all the coal mined in these pits were all raised at Manvers. -

Hi I’m doing some research into my family history and wondered if anyone has any information on the “George and Dragon” that used to stand at 93 Broad Lane. I believe it operated as a pub between 1825 and 1958. The building was later demolished and the site where it stood now seems to be a car-park. My family connection is that in about 1903 it was taken over by my Great-Great-Aunt Norah and her husband Thomas Crosby (they had previously run the ‘Union’ around the corner on Scotland Street) Thomas died in 1906 and Norah was remarried to a man named John Gaffey, John died around 1918 so Norah then ran the pub with her daughter Eileen. Norah died in 1942, at which point Eileen ran it herself until it closed in 1958. Norah was from Glenamaddy in Co. Galway and “Gaffey’s” as it was generally known was always considered to be an ‘Irish pub' and I believe there was a back room where they had Irish music and dancing My dad would be taken there as a young boy by his father and remembers Norah as a very ‘large’ and somewhat intimidating lady who’s fingers were always adorned with several big rings. I’ve attached a photo of Norah and Eileen, Norah is second from left and her daughter Eileen is on the right. If anyone has any info, memories or photographs of ‘Gaffey’s (or indeed the Union on Scotland St.) it would be much appreciated. Mike O’Farrell

Seeking information on the Vickers family of Sheffield
Meg Young posted a topic in Sheffield History Chat
I am new to this forum and have not been successful in my search for this topic in your files. I apologize if I am bringing up an old topic. I am seeking information on Benjamin Vickers, Master Cutler of 1799. I tried doing a search on your site for Benjamin Vickers, Master Cutler, 1799, but got nothing. In Robert Eadon Leader's "Reminiscences of Old Sheffield," there is a mention of Benjamin Vickers on p. 141, "Between Hicks lane and Workhouse lane was Mr. Benjamin Vickers, who was Master Cutler in 1799. He was uncle to the then Mr. Vickers of Mill Sands and granduncle to the late (1872-73) Master Cutler, Mr. T.E. Vickers." Mr. John Vickers, corn miller of Mill Sands, is my 3rd ggrandfather. His 5th son, Henry Vickers, who became a solicitor in Sheffield, is my 2nd ggrandfather. I am having great difficulty discovering who the parents of John Vickers were. I've been in on-line contact with two descendants of Edward Vickers, Henry's older brother, on Ancestry.com, and they don't know either. There are Vickers trees on Ancestry, but they have little documentation and I don't trust them. I'm hoping that information on Benjamin Vickers Master Cutler 1799, will throw light on the parentage of John Vickers as Benjamin's brother would have been John Vickers' father. On Ancestry I have found various documents with the name Benjamin Vickers. On Church Lane listed under Cutlers Company is a Benj. Vickers, proprietor, from 1781 (land tax documents). On Spring Croft there is a Benjamin Vickers, silversmith, who is paying tax on apprenticeship dues received in 1786, etc.. In 1817, there is an entry in Quarter Session Records, Wakefield, regarding a James Robinson's theft of blades, steel, and ivory from Francis Carr, Benjamin Vickers, and William Anderson. Are these Benjamin Vickers all the same man, or different men? I am showing my ignorance, but were cutlers ever silversmiths? Did people have workshops on different streets in the town? I've looked for a map of 1799 to find Hicks lane and Workhouse lane to see if Church lane or Spring croft are near by but haven't been able to find a map. Can anybody help me out? Yours in ignorance. -
As most of my family appear to have lived around what is now Upperthorpe, Netherthorpe, through to the town centre along Solly Street and Townhead Street, I was hoping to find Coalpit Lane near there as I have a branch of my family living there. I know roads ‘disappear’ over time and wondered which map I should look at to see if there ever existed Coalpit Lane in this area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Copied from Wikipedia. "In 1955 the Board recommended that Crimicar Lane should no longer be used as a hospital and the tuberculosis Huts were demolished at that time.[2] All patients were transferred to Lodge Moor Hospital on 31 May 1956.[1] The hospital stood empty for some time before the remaining buildings were demolished to make way for the housing which now stands on Westminster Crescent. All that remains of the old hospital are the perimeter wall and the main gates which have a memorial plaque attached to them.[1]" Full Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimicar_Lane_Hospital Crimicar Lane Hospital, Sheffield https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/2fecb3e5-bc53-4b16-96d4-5df8d95893df Including Information: Crimicar Lane Hospital and Sanatorium was opened in November 1902 for the reception of smallpox cases. It consisted of two wards, each accommodating 21 beds; an isolation block accommodating four wards each with two beds; also an administrative block, laundry and disinfector. Prior to the First World War the hospital was primarily for cases of smallpox, but consumptive (tuberculosis) patients were admitted if smallpox cases were lacking. In 1915 a temporary wooden ward was erected to accommodate 48 patients and an extension to the administrative block was built in 1916. Many patients were those associated with the cutlery industry: grindstones and buffing wheels created a huge amount of gritty dust. Silicosis was the cause of great mortality, as was tuberculosis which was often associated with the "dolly polishing" of silverware. In 1950 the hospital had accommodation for 53 patients. In 1955 the Planning Committee of Sheffield Regional Hospital Board recommended that the use of the premises as a hospital be discontinued and that the patients be moved to Lodge Moor Hospital. The buildings were to be retained pending instructions from the Ministry of Health. The patients were all transferred out of the hospital on 31 May 1956; the patients at Commonside Sanatorium also being transferred to Lodge Moor at around the same time. The hospital buildings were later demolished to make way for housing; all that remains are the part of the perimeter wall and gates (2004). Administration The hospital was administered by Hospitals Committee of Sheffield City Council, established under the Public Health Act, 1875. In 1927 this committee became a sub-committee of the Health Committee. At the establishment of the National Health Service in 1948 management, like other hospitals formerly administered by the Council, passed to the Sheffield No 3 Hospital Management Committee of Sheffield Regional Hospital Board (SRHB).
