  1. East of Woodhouse at the end of Junction Road (prev. Long Storrs Lane), on the right opposite the signal box, there is an open plot of land with what looks like a semi-submerged railway tunnel (marked in red on attached aerial view). In my 1970's childhood, it was colloquially known as 'Peter Pan's Cave' and at the time, I never gave a thought to what that 'tunnel' was, as it only ever served as a place to shelter when out playing and the heavens opened and it only went back 15-20ft before being blocked by bricks and rubble. I remember it having litter scattered around inside and the remains of countless fires, the outside arch being adorned with graffiti (some being abstract works of male and female anatomy!) If ever a place was over-romanticised with a wholly inappropriate name eh? I could never have imagined Wendy saying "Oooh Peter, I just love what you've done with the place!" I grew up on June Road, which is off the top of Junction Road almost to the end where it meets Station Road / Furnace Lane and where the old 'Grammar' school stood opposite the Junction Hotel, beside the railway station and bus terminus. The whole of the area from the bottom of Junction Road, across the 'Secco' (which was a large open playing field [blue on the aerial view], marked out with several football pitches and in my childhood had a wooden hut at it's western side - it's name I always believed was derived from being the playing fields for the Grammar school - Secondary Grammar = Secco!), up Greengate Lane (a grass footpath until it met John Calvert Road) and up past the allotments, the brick pond and across to Brunswick Middle School was one huge playground for me and my pals. Never having to cross a road and always within a few minutes of home for a drink, some food, or a plaster (and some sympathy!), countless weekends, school holidays and even on school nights in summer were spent making dens in the cornfield, climbing trees by the branch line, or scrumping in Pearson's orchard! In my teens, the 'pit yard' was a scrambling track for dirt bikes, one of the many trails that we could follow on our chopped down, chunky tyred mopeds! Anyway, being much older now and taking an interest in local history, it occurred to me that this may have had some industrial heritage and it was only when I read Ken Wain's excellent "The Coal Mining Industry of Sheffield and North East Derbyshire" (p. 47-48), I discovered that it may have been 'Junction Colliery'? The dates seem to fit Ken's book, as looking at maps of the area, it did not exist in 1850-1: http://maps.nls.uk/view/10234522 But by 1896-7, it had closed and was referred to as 'Old Colliery': http://maps.nls.uk/view/101600226 I've scoured every other source I have access to, but cannot find any further information on the colliery and wondered if anyone else had done any work to find out more? Looking at the maps in more detail, the area was scattered with collieries and shafts and it seems the immediate local area was a hive of activity. It actually appears that the row of terraced houses close by may have actually been built as 'pit cottages'? Greengate Lane used to go all the way to the pit yard and there was a tramway linking the pit to the railway line to the North. I'll keep researching, but if anyone has any information they're willing to share, it would be very gratefully received!

Notes in [ ] are listed at the end. SHEFFIELD TURNPIKES IN THE 18th CENTURY. By A. W. GOODFELLOW, M.A. THE sudden growth of Sheffield at the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth is partly a result and partly a contributory cause of increased and improved means of communication. How far, or in what proportions, this is true, cannot be stated with any precision, but it is clear that improved communications were deliberately sought for in order that Sheffield might prosper and grow. It is equally apparent that an increase of .trade stimulated the growth of Sheffield industries, and hence the town grew rapidly along the lines of the new or extended routes. Sheffield has always been isolated from other parts of the country and, indeed, from its near neighbours by lack of easy means of communication. Even the railways ignored the place. The chief reasons appear to have been its lying off the main routes, and the topographical difficulties of the town's immediate environs. It is cut off from the west by the almost impassable barrier of the High Peak and its foothills, and the eastward routes lie through low-lying country liable to extensive flooding. Hunter says : Until of late, Sheffield has always laboured under the disadvantage of being off the great thoroughfare of 'the country. In some respects, however, this may have been beneficial, since the town thereby escaped some of the worst effects of the mediaeval civil wars. Still this position kept it in retirement and obscurity from which it did not effectually emerge even when the first trunk lines of railway, connecting north and south, were planned. This difficulty in getting to the front gave the town a rustic character, and kept it for long in a rude condition.[1] It is not surprising, therefore, to find Sheffield trade described as "inconsiderable, confined and precarious." There were no townsmen described as "merchants" in the local Directory, the first Bankers did not set up in business till the 1770's, and there was almost no intercourse with other towns. Trade was carried on with the outside world by the casual visits of "chapmen." Goodwin, Vicar of Attercliffe, says: None presumed to extend this traffic beyond the bounds of this island, and most were content to wait the coming of a casual trader, or to carry their goods with great labour and expense to an uncertain market. . . [2] Hunter gives additional testimony of this isolation : There is living evidence of a primitive state of things which, when we contemplate into what dimensions the town has now expanded, seems scarcely credible. Within the recollection of an aged inhabitant, most of the cutlers' houses were small abodes, with a shop and a forge in the yard behind. You entered the low doorway by a step downwards, and the small written orders from the chapman who came round, and distributed his favours according to the samples shown, were stuck in the leaden casements of the windows, and formed a subject for comment by the passers-by. Very few of the manufacturers ventured to leave the town in search of custom. One who did so, has been described to us by his son as going off to some distant country fair, as Leipsic is still frequented, and sending his chattels in two or three heavily laden waggons the contents of which were disposed of in detail, an operation which would probably occupy a fortnight.[3] Leader says that Joshua Fox of West Bar was the first manufacturer to make a personal business visit to London, and he, before leaving, gave a farewell feast to his family and made his will. We are told that he walked to Mansfield on the first day and waited there for a number of travellers sufficiently large to brave the dangers of Nottingham Forest.[4] Goodwin, writing in 1797, says : About fifty years ago, Mr. Joseph Broadbent first opened an immediate trade with the Continent. . . . Master manufacturers began to visit the Metropolis ... in search of orders, with good success. . . . The roads began to be greatly improved and Britain and Ireland were explored in search of trade.[5] . . : It was not until the eighteenth century that the isolation of the town seems to have seriously inconvenienced local tradespeople. It was the prosperity of Liverpool, Manchester and Hull, which appears to have stimulated, if not inspired, a desire to share in the generally increasing trade of the country. It was easier access to these towns, and to London, and thence to the new markets of the Colonial powers, that was the object of the agitation in Sheffield to improve communications. Referring to the "Navigation," Hunter says : There were at that period (i.e., c. 1720) many persons at Sheffield who were aware that one great impediment to the extension of the commerce of the town was the difficulty of communication with the capital, and with the two ports of Liverpool and Hull. The inhabitants of Lancashire were making great improvements in the navigation of the Mersey; and there was a project much canvassed at Sheffield of making an excellent carriage-road over the Eastmoors to the first wharf constructed on that river.[6] The said project was not carried out, and Sheffielders turned their attention to their own river and its possibilities (about which a subsequent article may be published). Their most striking achievement was in the construction of a network of roads which did much to bring the town into comparatively easy reach of its neighbours. Gosling's map of Sheffield in 1736 shows a town of 9,695 inhabitants. Fairbank's map of 1771 shows a town of hardly greater extent, described by Goodwin in 1774 in these words: "The extent of the town from East to West is about half a mile, and from North to South about three quarters. . . ." [7] None of the early plans of the town gives any detailed information about its exits. The early maps of the surrounding country show three ill-defined routes, one wandering from the south, one, equally vague, leading north, and another, more clearly marked, following the Don to Rotherham and the east. The chief exit from the town was by way of Lady's Bridge, from which point two roads diverged. The more important one led to Rotherham. It was important because it conducted traffic to Tinsley, to which stage the River Don had been made navigable by an Act of 1726. Before that time most of the products of the district used the same road to Tinsley, but then went across country to Bawtry, which was then an important town and inland port. There the goods were shifted from packhorses to boat and carried down the River Idle to Stockwith on the Trent. There the goods were transhipped to larger boats, which took them to Hull en route for the Metropolis. Defoe, in his account of a tour through England, published in 1724, says : "The town of Bawtry becomes the centre of all the exportation of this part of the country, especially for heavy goods, which they bring down hither from all the adjacent counties, such as lead from the lead-mines and smelting-houses in Derbyshire, wrought iron and edge-tools of all sorts from the forges at Sheffield and from the country called Hallamshire, being adjacent to the towns of Sheffield and Rotherham, where an innumerable number of people are employed. Also millstones and grindstones in very great quantities are brought down and shipped off here, and so carried to Hull, and to London, and even to Holland also. This makes Bawtry Wharf be famous all over the south part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, for it is the place whither all their heavy goods are carried to be earmarked and shipped off". [8] It was the inconvenience of the land trip to Bawtry that led Sheffield tradespeople to consider the possibilities of using their own river as a direct water route to Hull, and therefore to agitate for improvement of the river and for the construction of a canal. Even when the canal was made (it was opened in 1819) the Tinsley road lost none of its significance. It crossed the river near Attercliffe. There is reason to believe that in earlier times it did not cross the river but to the south side, leaving the town by Sheaf Bridge. It was by this route that the Parliamentary Army approached to the assault on Sheffield Castle . [but, as been pointed out in another article, the roundheads would hardly have risked marching in over Lady’s Bridge directly beneath the castle walls !! Gramps ] Lady's Bridge also gave egress to the northern route. It led by the side of the Duke of Norfolk's Nursery to Bridgehouses, steeply to the right up Pye Bank, through the hamlet of Pitsmoor, on its way to Barnsley, Wakefield and York. A section of the old road may still be seen running parallel to and raised above the modern Barnsley Road at Abbeyfield, beyond the Toll Bar. This road was used in the last century, and up it toiled the chained gangs of prisoners on their way to York Assizes and Gaol. The southern route was by way of Far Gate, Barkers Pool, Coalpit Lane, and Button Lane to a hamlet called Little Sheffield, the track then crossed Sheffield Moor, rose to Highfield, dropped to Heeley, and then up a steep lane to the left past Newfield Green. At the end of the seventeenth century this lane "appeared to be a very ancient way, being worne very deep." Because of the great difficulty of this route, people were in the habit of cutting across the Duke's Park from Sheaf Bridge, but they did so only on sufferance after an enquiry as to right of way in 1692. At this enquiry, Nicholas Shiercliffe a cutler, aged 86, deposed : Before the unhappy Civil Wars broke out, the gate of the Park next Gleadleys-moor was, by order of the owner, four times every year stopped up to prevent the same being claimed as a highway, and several times I have seen the same chained up and the carriers' packhorses, carts and carriages stopped from going that way without leave or paying something. The ancient highway leading from Sheffield to the north-east part of Handsworth parish was through Attercliffe and Darnall; and the south-east side of the said parish through Little Sheffield, Heeley and Newfifield Green to London.[9] Another witness, David Lee of Attercliffe, said that he had known the London carriers to pay money for liberty to pass that way. When asked if he knew another road by the hospital along the top of the park-hill to the Intake, he answered that it was only a private way to the manour, till about seventy years before, it came to be much used. He further deposed that Sheaf Bridge was the only way into the park ; and that it was built and repaired by the lords, and that the roads through the park were also maintained at their expense. [10] The period of road reform and road making began about 1740, partly in order to meet local demands and partly as a local manifestation of the general interest being taken in the highways. That interest was caused by the needs of trade and was stimulated by the difficulties experienced by the Government in dealing with the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745. Amendment of the roads was a common law obligation on the inhabitants of all parishes, reinforced by the Act of 1555. This Act directed that the parishioners should annually elect two surveyors, authorising them to require occupiers of land to attend each Midsummer with men, horses and carts in proportion to their holdings, and all other persons to bring their own tools and work for four days of eight hours. In 1562 this Statute labour was increased to six days per year. This method of road maintenance remained in operation until the passing of the General Highway Act of 1835. It was never satisfactory—the surveyors were amateur, their allocation of work partial, and the labour grudging and ineffective. It sufficed to maintain the parish roads from farm to farm, but was quite inadequate for the maintenance of trunk roads connecting various parts of the country. As the roads kept in such a way were hardly distinguishable from farm-tracks, made of earth, repair was a matter of filling ruts and removing loose material. The accounts for the repair of Pitsmoor road in 1759 include a sum of 3/4 for Two scrappels made by Mr Joulding of Chappeltown to pull in the ruts on the roadside. [11] It is easy to see into what condition such roads would be reduced by wintry weather or heavy traffic. In 1770 the toll-bar-keeper at Tomcross Lane sent in his statement of receipts for the year. The total was 4/3 ½. He excused the amount in a letter saying: "Sir, the reason of Tomcross Lane Barr taking no more cash this yr his by reason of the Lane and hedges being so exessife bad that nobody could get down but once this year—But I have served a warrant upon all the landholders betwen Tomcross Lane End and Grimesthorp and it his know in tolarable good condition which was ordered by a complaint to Mr Wilkinson". [12] It will be noted that the lane referred to was one of the new roads on which tolls were collected. Another illustration is provided by Defoe's complaint in 1724 : "One great difficulty here (i.e., Bedford) is that the country is so universally made up of a deep stiff clay, that tis hard to find any materials to repair the roads with, that may be depended upon. In some places they have a red sandy kind of slate or stone which they lay with timber and green faggots and puts them to a very great expense, but this stone does not bind like chalk' and gravel, or endure like flint and pebbles." [13] For most of their lengths the roads were unenclosed—that is, they were hedged and fenced only when they ran through private property, park or farm, but over commons and untilled lands there were no fences. Much of the apparently meaningless meanderings of our country roads was caused by the making of detours in such unfenced areas to avoid bad patches. Defoe records an instance of road widening of this sort, even on private land: "Here (i.e., from Hatfield to Stevenage) is that famous lane called Baldock Lane, famous for being so unpassable that the coaches and travellers were obliged to break out of the way even by force, which the people of the country not able to prevent, at length placed gates and laid their lands open, setting men at the gates to take a voluntary toll, which travellers always chose to pay, rather than plunge into sloughs and holes which no horses could wade through." [14] It became clear that the roads would never be of much use until new methods of maintenance and improved processes of construction were evolved. The former had been experimented with in the 17th century: the latter had to wait for Macadam. In order to augment the financial resources of the roadmenders, a system was devised whereby tolls were to be paid by all road users. By an Act of 1663, the Justices in Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Huntingdonshire, were required to appoint surveyors to provide materials, to collect statute labour, and to pay for all labour required in excess. They were to appoint collectors of tolls to be levied at toll-gates at specific rates on all users of the road in question (the Great North Road). By this means the cost of repair of main roads was transferred from the parish to the user. The transfer was unwelcome to some travellers, who objected to paying for a service which before had cost them nothing. Riots often took place and toll-houses were demolished. The first toll-house erected on the Sheffield-Glossop Road was attacked by an angry Sheffield crowd. Following this precedent, innumerable Road Acts were passed in the 18th century. Local groups of substantial people formed themselves into committees to petition for a private Act of Parliament and became Trustees for a specified road or section of road, empowered to exercise such functions as those entrusted to the Justices in the Act of 1663 already quoted. In the initiation of the Sheffield schemes, a prominent part was played by the Burgery of Sheffield and the Cutlers' Company. The accounts of the Burgery contain an increasingly large number of items of expenditure incurred in the inauguration and financing of turnpike concerns. The Trustees began their public work of promoting trade by taking the initiative in, and subscribing heavily for, the Canal Scheme in 1722. The first reference to roads in these accounts reads : Nov. 20 (1739) Paid Mr Gilbert Dixon for making a Rentall and for the trouble he had about the Chesterfield Turnpike, £1 10s. 6d. [15] The Cutlers' Company joined the Town Trustees in this and other undertakings, apparently with the double motive of contributing to the material welfare of the town and at the same time of making some substantial profit from their investments. Here are a few entries in the Burgery accounts taken at random which are typical: 1756. Feb. 6. Paid half the expence of a meeting at Mr Watson's relating to Turnpike affairs, the Master Cutler paying the other half—£1 0s. 6d. Paid to Mr Dawson and Mr Fairbank on Turnpike account £31 17s. 2d. Paid postage of letter from Mr Dawson in London on Turnpike affairs 2/8. 1779. Jan. 11. Paid the expences of a meeting at Mr Kay's to peruse the intended bill to Parliament £1 15s. 0d. 1784. Oct. 4. At a public meeting of the Trustees this day at the Town Hall, pursuant to Public notice given by the Bellman, it was resolved that it will be of public utility to open a carriage road from Waingate to Newhall Street agreeable to the plan drawn by William Fairbank. . . . 1784. Dec. 1. John Winter, Town Collector, credits the Town with £1870 0s. 8d. including interest received from the Penistone Turnpike £14 . . . Wakefield Turnpike interest £10 . . . Sparrow Pit Gate £12 ... Chesterfield Turnpike interest £32. 1795. Oct. 22. Payment of two further calls subscribed 'for the purpose of diverting the Chesterfield Turnpike' £50. The money to finance the turnpikes was raised by public subscription, the interest being secured upon the annual sale by auction of the tolls to be collected. It was the necessity of paying off these mortgages that compelled the frequent renewal of Turnpike Trusts throughout the 19th century. Two illustrations of the sort of people who contributed to the turnpikes follow. The former is taken from the rough draft of the Secretary's statement of the indebtedness of the Sheffield-Wakefield Trust in 1776 (seventeen years after its formation) : Debts remaining on the Road : Duke of Norfolk 1200 Duke of Devonshire 600 Marquis of Rockingham 600 Earl of Stafford 900 Mrs Wood 800 Mrs Mawhood 400 Sir Thos. Wentworth 300 Mrs E. Robinson 300 Town Collector 200 Total—£5,300. [16] The second illustration comes from the same Trust and from a memorandum of interest payments made in the year 1769. Whilst repeating some of the names included in the former list, it contains a reference to a club of small contributors. The interest was paid at either 4 or 5 per cent: Interest Payments made in 1769 : £ Norfolk ... ... 48 Devonshire ... ... 24 Rockingham ... 24 Stafford ... ... 36 Wentworth ...... ... ... 25 Town Collector ... 18 Finch ... ... 5 Silkstone Club ... 10 Mrs Wood (i) ... 30 Mrs Robinson ... 7 10 0 Mrs Fisher ... 2 10 0 Total—£230. [17] The tolls to be collected were fixed by the Act of Parliament for making the road in question, and varied slightly with time and place. They were the maximum charges and might be lowered by the trustees. The tolls on the Sheffield-Wakefield Road were fixed in 1759 on the following tariff, which may be taken as typical: Tolls to be taken at every Barr as follows : For every Coach, Berlin, etc. s. d. drawn by 6 horses ... ... ... 2 0 „ 4 horses ... ... ... 1 6 „ 2 horses ... ... ... 6 For every Postchaise drawn by 4 horses 1 0 For every Postchaise or Chair drawn by 1 horse ... ... ... 3 For every waggon etc. drawn by 4 horses ... ... ... ... .... ... ..10 3 horses ...... ... ... .... ... ... ... . 9 2 horses ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 6 1 horse ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 3 For every pair of millstones, if drawn in pairs, and for every single millstone or block of stone, or piece of timber, drawn by 5 or more horses or beasts of draught... 2 6 For every horse, mare, etc.. going unladen to fetch coal, or which shall be laden with coal, or returning empty having delivered such lading ... ... ... 0 ½ For every other horse, mare, etc. laden or unladen, and not drawing ... ... 1 For every drove of oxen and neat cattle per score ... ... ... ... ... ... 10 For every drove of calves, swine, sheep and lambs per score ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 The above tolls were settled in the country and should not be varied without the consent of the subscribers, yet Mr Bagshaw proposes that horses drawing coals shall pay 2d a horse which by the above list would pay 3d, a very material difference, a reduction of a third on an article which is expected to raise a good deal of tolls must consequently weaken the subscribers' security and for aught that can be known, make it very bad. . . .[18] Exemptions from such charges were made to the mails, military horses, carriages of those going to and from church or election, waggons used in husbandry, beasts going to water or pasture, and people of influence in the district. Local gentry and proprietors of stage-coaches could compound for their annual tolls by an agreed payment. Toll charges varied according to the number of horses per vehicle, the weight of the vehicle, and the width of the wheel. The trustees were, of course, anxious to prevent damage to their property, and tried to regulate the speed of traffic by charging higher rates for increasing numbers of horses. They tried to discourage the passage of very heavy burdens by similar means. To check the weight they installed "weighing engines," as at Sandall in 1800. Their chief care was to prevent the cutting-up of the surface by narrow tyres. Attempts were made by legislation to prohibit the use of waggons with wheels less than nine inches wide, and permitted the reduction of tolls in ratio of increased width. A local illustration of the importance of this question is provided in the records of the Sheffield-Duffield Trust, where reference is made to the width of wheels and to permission to use extra horses for haulage on specified hills between certain named points : It appearing to us on the oath of Saintforth Wroe of Longley in the county of York, Gent., being a person experienced in levelling, that the rise of the following hills upon the said Turnpike Road are about 4 inches in a yard, we do hereby allow to be drawn up the same hills, between the posts hereinafter mentioned, waggons having the soles or bottom of the fellies of the wheels of the breadth of 9 inches with 10 horses, and carts having the like wheels with 6 horses, and waggons of the wheels of the breadth of 6 inches with 7 horses, and carts having the like wheels with 5 horses, and waggons having wheels of less breadth than 6 inches with 5 horses, and carts with like wheels with 4 horses. (Then follows a list of hills beginning) The Hill called Derbyshire Lane lying in the Parish of Norton in the county of Derby, between the post marked (Put on) and the post marked (Take off) being 513 yards in length. . . . [19] Another illustration is provided on the Sheffield-Wakefield Road in an order dated Nov. 19, 1759, which reads : Notice is hereby given that the Surveyors and Barr-keepers employed on this Turnpike Road from Sheffield to Wakefield are strictly ordered by the Trustees thereof to seize all Horses drawing carriages with narrow wheels upon the said Road, above the number allowed by law, and to prosecute all persons offending in that respect.[20] The method of construction of roads is amply described in the records of several local Trusts. First, accurate surveys of the intended route were made, and in the Sheffield group the firm of Fairbank was extensively used. They made carefully numbered and coloured plans, noting the owners of all adjacent plots of land, and listing in a book of reference deposited with the Clerk of the Peace, those owners who assented to or disagreed with the proposed road. Diversions were often made from the original route, sometimes to avoid difficult gradients, sometimes in order to tap a district likely to be profitable, and sometimes merely to suit the convenience of landowners. Negotiations had to be entered into with the owners of property. The following appears in a series of questions put to Counsel in 1759 for an opinion as to the legality of closing certain roads at Sandall in order to monopolise traffic: In the new schemed road through Sandall . . . some corners of closes are designed to be taken into the road . . . The largest of these corners is part of a close of Mr. Barber's. This Mr. Barber (a staymaker in Wakefield) has a house adjoining the Cock and Bottle, and for the convieniency of this house would like to have the road go close by it. In which if he is not gratified he will be as perverse as possible. He told me if the Commissioners entered into his ground it should be because he could not hinder them. . . .[21] Another reference to the same sort of argument, and about the same section of the road, appears in a private letter from the agent of the Earl of Strafford, under the date September 27, 1760. ". . . You enquire after the amount of the tolls and the temper of the people about Wakefield. The latter is what it always was— bad, very bad. One comfort they have that as many as please can go round by Okenshaw (a long and very bad way) and come in at Agbridge turnpike. Some actually do this of which I never hear speak but I laugh heartily. Such as were most strenuous for the Cock and Bottle represented it as folly to imagine that any would go so far as the bottom of Sandall Common to save a penny . . . whereas in fact they go five times as far and ten times worse way to save a halfpenny . . . such sordid dogs dwell in this country. . . "[22] The actual construction was contracted out to surveyors, who could call for statute labour, as is illustrated by this notice dated 1759 : "In pursuance of an Act of Parliament passed the last Session for repairing the road from Leeds to Sheffield in the county of York, I, James Brook of Sheffield aforesaid, Bricklayer, being duly appointed Surveyor of so much of the said road as lies between Lady's Bridge at Sheffield aforesaid and a place called Hood Hill, otherwise Hood Hollings, do hereby give you notice and require you to give in and deliver to me within seven days from the date hereof, an exact list or account in writing under your hand of the Christian and surname of all and every person and persons in your Township of Brightside Bierley who are by law obliged to do their statute work for the present year, with teams and draughts or otherwise and the number of day's work which each person ought to do on the said road in the said township—and that you do also set forth and specify in such list what each person is respectively chargeable with for and towards the same and herein fail not as you will answer the contrary at your peril" .[23] Materials were bought or simply taken from unused land in the neighbourhood as is shown in this deed of 1759 : "We whose hands and seals are hereunder set being appointed trustees ... do elect, nominate and appoint William Robinson of Otley in the county of York, yeoman, and John Robinson of the same, yeoman, surveyors of that District or Division lying between the Wicker in Brightside Bierley and the Rivulet at the north end of a Lane called Sheffield Lane in the Parish of Ecclesfield, and do give unto them full power and authority to dig, take and carry away any gravel, furzed heath, stones, sand, or other materials out of any wast or common, river or brook, of or in any parish, town village or hamblet in or near which the said road or some part of it doth lie. . .".[24] Where this is not sufficient, authority was given in this deed to dig from anybody's land not being either park or tilled. Amongst the materials locally used are : various sorts of stone, flag, cinders from the local forges, gannister (sometimes from Crookesmoor), "furniss pots" (as used in making Division Street), stakes and rails, lime and cowshair for pointing masonry, gravel, sand, and "Mook" as it is called in some bills for "leading." Each road was made in a manner similar to that described in a form of contract for the making of the road through Pitsmoor : "To cast a bed twenty four feet broad betwixt ditch and ditch in the lanes, and thirty feet betwixt ditch and ditch on the commons, to cover the same with stone twenty foot broad, eight inches thick at the edge by eighten inches high in the middle, and the stone to be laid in three coverings : first eight inches of strong stone eight inches thick, second covering six inches of middleing broke stone, and third covering four inches thick of small broke stone, these to be laid on in a circular manner and then to be ribbed or backed up with earth." [25] It should not be assumed that the new method made the roads in any way perfect. The dirt at the sides of the road tended to slip and frost caused the crust to break. Since the stones used remained loose, ruts were just as prevalent as before. There is no reason to suppose that the local roads were in any way much different from the roads being made throughout the country in this century. Arthur Young, writing ten years after the making of the turnpike of the Tinsley Road, says: "From Rotherham to Sheffield the road is execrably bad, very stony, and excessively full of holes." [26] He is, however, no kinder to other Yorkshire roads. He says, 1770 : "One remark however I should add, which is that those who go to Methley by Pontefract must be extremely fond of seeing houses, or they will not recompense the fatigue of passing such detestable roads. They are full of ruts, whose gaping jaws threaten to swallow up any carriage less than a waggon. It would be no bad precaution to yoke half a score of oxen to your coach to be ready to encounter such quagmires as you will here meet with." [27] It will be realised that fast travel by "Flying Coach" was not possible till Macadam's method of construction was adopted. This consisted of surfacing the road with a layer not of paving stones but of stones irregularly broken into pieces the size of a fist, which would by the weight of traffic be compressed into a coherent mass. Macadam was consulted by the trustees of the Sheffield and Glossop Road, and his son received the contract for the supervision of the making of that road. The new method may be contrasted with the old by reference to the following, which is taken from the specification for the alterations to the Chesterfield Road at Highfields. Its date is 1840. "The Contractor to provide the stone for the formation of the road, which is to be broken to the size not exceeding three inches in diameter, to be spread on the road-ten yards in width and ten inches in depth and after the same is properly consolidated, the hardstone from the old road to be broken so as to pass through a 2¼ inch ring, the same to be spread in two separate coverings, the first being three inches deep and the other two inches deep, the second covering not to be laid on until the first has been worn down firm and level by vehicles passing over it, and in case there should be a deficiency of the old materials, the Contractor to furnish limestone from Middleton Dale . . . The Contractor at all times after each covering of stone, to-keep it level by raking so that it may not become rutted by vehicles passing over it until the same becomes consolidated." [28] The extent of the improvements effected in the condition of the roads is indicated by the increased use made of them. It is said that Joshua Wright of Mansfield in 1710 started a service by "Stage-waggon" from Sheffield to London. The first coach was run by Samuel Glanville, landlord of "The Angel," from Leeds to London in 1760. The great advantages offered by the new roads is shown by the numbers of coaches and carriers' carts in service at the end of that century. The Directory of 1787 publishes a list of eleven coaches leaving the town, of which seven were on a daily service; and no fewer than twenty-seven waggons leaving every week or every two or three days, even for places as far away as Exeter, Carlisle, Darlington and the North, Liverpool and Hull. The Directory of 1821 gives a list of sixteen carriers and thirty-six coaches. Perhaps the decline in the number of the former is accounted for by the increase in the number of coaches, for where speed was required, the coach was used in preference, especially after the rate of carriage was reduced to l|d. a pound. The heavier goods were at the same period being conveyed by canal. The fares by stage-coach worked out at 2½d. to 3d. a mile "outside" and 4d. to 5d. a mile "inside." By mail-coach they were 4d. to 5d. "outside" and 8d. to l0d. "inside." Typical fares from Sheffield were: to York 11/- and 7/-; to Leeds 5/- and 3/-; to Birmingham 8/- and 6/-; and to London 37/-. Posting by private chaise was necessarily much dearer. In his Recollections, Lord W. P. Lennox says: "Ten miles an hour, including stoppages, was about the average posting, and the charge for a pair of horses, post-boys, ostler, and Turnpikes, amounted to about 2/- a mile." [29] The revenues derived from the tolls are indicated by the statements of the collections which appear in the frequent advertisements published in the local press, inviting attention to the sales of tolls by public auction. Here are a few taken at random from the columns of the Sheffield Iris: TOLLS TO LET. (1) Three Lane Ends near Little Sheffield to Sparrowpit Gate; (2) Guide Post near Barber Fields Cupola to Buxton. Tolls called Sharrow Moor Head, Ringinglow, Mytham Bridge and Stone Bench Gate. One year's tolls : £ Sharrow Moor Head 240 Ringinglow 421 Mytham Bridge 273 Stone Benches 149 (Mar. 30 1798) Tolls on the road from Derby : Makeney Bar and Side Gate 87 4 0 Henge Bar 157 13 0 Hallfield Gate Bar 108 10 4 Clay Cross Bar 92 4 8 Birdholme Bar 151 13 0 Stone Gravels Bar 266 7 6 Birchett Bar (for seven months before Coal Aston) 222 14 6 Healey Bar and Side Gate 391 0 6 Total exclding expenses 1477 7 6 (June 29 1798) Tolls on the Sheffield- Wakefield Road : Barnsley Old Mill 435 Hangmanstone Bar 224 Coit Lane Bar 173 Pitsmoor Bar 251 (Sept. 28 1798) Details of one year's takings at Old Mill Bar from October 1760 to October 1761 were as follows : Totals for months less salary £1 1s. 0d. October 1760 ... ... ... 12 11 9 ¾ November ... ... ... 6 15 7 ¼ December ... ... ... 6 11 8 ½ January 1761 ... ... 6 9 8 ¼ (including a bad debt) February ... ..; ... 6 15 9 ¾ March ... ... ..'. ... 7 1 8 ¾ April ... ... ... ... 7 0 4 ½ - May ... ... ...

The reason is that the proprietors paid an annual composition, and the Barkeeper kept a special account. Later Barkeepers were supplied with huge printed folios with every category of vehicle and animal allotted its proper place. The list of turnpikes that follows includes the main routes and ignores connecting lanes, and is confined to the period earlier than 1820. The roads are arranged in chronological order of the Acts of Parliament which sanctioned their turnpiking or construction. Of such Acts there are some twenty-two passed between 1739 and 1818 dealing with turnpike undertakings directly affecting the main roads through Sheffield, and not counting the numerous Acts for the enlargement or modification of original schemes. 1. SHEFFIELD-DERBY. Sheffield and Derby, or Duffield Trust. Turnpiked by an Act of 1756. The original route was London Road, across Meersbrook Park, Derbyshire Lane, across Graves Park, Little Norton, near Coal Aston, to Unstone, Whittington Hill and Whittington Moor to Chesterfield. In 1795 the route was altered to avoid the steep pull up Derbyshire Lane, Coal Aston and Whittington Moor. The new line followed the modern route in general. In 1825 a short diversion was made in order to take the road on its present line past Meadow Head. 2. SHEFFIELD-BUXTON, AND -CHAPEL. Sheffield-Buxton and Sheffield-Chapel-en-le-Frith Joint Trusts, 1758. These roads went to Ringinglow Toll Bar together, by way of Sheffield Moor, Highfields, Sharrow Lane, Psalter Lane and Ringinglow Road. At that point they diverged. The Chapel Branch went over the Cupola to Hathersage, thence to Castleton by the modern line, and then up the Winnats to Sparrowpit and Chapel. The other branch went along Ankirk (or Houndkirk) Road to Fox House, down to Grindleford, up the Sir William, through Hucklow and Tideswell to Buxton. A diversion was made to avoid the Sir William in 1795 by way of Calver and Stoney Middleton. The modern route to Fox House from Ecclesall via Dore Moor was made in 1812. 3. SHEFFIELD-WAKEFIELD. Sheffield and Wakefield Trust. Turnpiked by an Act of 1758. This road followed the ancient route—Nursery, Bridgehouses, Pye Bank, Pitsmoor, to Chapeltown and Barnsley. Diversions were made via Spital Hill and Burngreave in 1835-6. Drake, writing in 1840 about the new Railway Station in Sheffield (at the Wicker), says: Along the high ground on the left runs the new road to Barnsley. It gradually declines away from the railway in the direction of the old road with which it forms a junction at Pitsmoor Bar. The design of ijs formation was to avoid the tremendous ascent of Pye Bank, which all who have ever left Sheffield by the north road will not fail to remember. [32] An interesting comment on the state of this road is made in 1829 by James Mills, a surveyor. He writes : "I cannot doubt that the Trustees of this road . . . will no longer tolerate the existence of the barbarous declivities which disgrace the present Turnpike Road between Sheffield and Barnsley, to the manifest injury of both towns and the general commerce of the country . . . "(He speaks of the)" substitution of a good line of road for an incorrigibly bad one, for it is notorious that the Inns of Sheffield prefer sending their posting by way of Doncaster to avoid the hills on the present Road . . ," [33] 4. SHEFFIELD-BAWTRY. Sheffield-Bawtry Trust, 1759. This is the road which leads off the Rotherham Road just beyond the Canal Bridge. The Tinsley section followed the present route from the Wicker with the exception of a loop up Spital Hill and to Hall Carr, which was straightened out in 1806. 5. SHEFFIELD-WORKSOP. Attercliffe-Worksop Trust, 1764. This road diverged from the Tinsley Road at Attercliffe, and went by Worksop Road and Darnall to Handsworth and Aston. 6. SHEFFIELD-BASLOW. This road is a combination of several roads. The section between Barbrook Mill and Baslow was part of the Chesterfield-Hernstone Lane Head (Tideswell) Trust which was continued by an Act of 1759. The section from Owler Bar to Totley was part of the Greenhill Moor-Hathersage Trust created by an Act of 1781. An Act for making the road between the end of Sharrow Lane and Totley (i.e., Abbeydale Road) was passed in 1802, though the road was not completed till 1821. At this last date the whole road between Sheffield and Baslow was transferred to the care of the Greenhill-Hathersage Trust. The route followed was the modern one. 7. SHEFFIELD-DONCASTER. Tinsley-Doncaster Trust, 1764. This road joined the Sheffield-Tinsley road at Bawtry Road. It lay almost exactly on the present route. Its maintenance was a matter of concern to the proprietors of the River Dun Company as it led to that point to which the river had been made navigable. 8. SHEFFIELD-PENISTONE-HALIFAX. Sheffield and Halifax Trust, Penistone Division, 1777. This road led from Shalesmoor along the modern line with the exception of a section which ran through Greno Wood and which the local folk still call "the old coach road." It was diverted through Parson Cross and Barnes Green in 1826. 9. SHEFFIELD-MANSFIELD. Sheffield-Gander Lane Trust. Turnpiked by an Act of 1779. The route was the modern one—City Road, Intake, Mosbrough, Eckington, Barlborough at Gander Lane and so to Mansfield. 10. SHEFFIELD-FROGGATT. Greenhill Moor-Hathersage Trust, created 1781. This road went from Greenhill cross-roads via Bradway, Dronfield Woodhouse and Holmesfield to Owler Bar, and then across the moors to the top of Froggatt Edge. It crossed the slope apparently just above the line of railway at Grindleford Station to Hathersage Booth, where it turned sharply down the hill to Hazelford and so to Hathersage. The southern exit from Hathersage led through Hazelford above the line of wood on the other side of the river until it joined the Sir William. This route was altered to the present line through Fall Cliffe Wood to Grindleford in 1825. A branch of the Greenhill-Hathersage road was provided in 1781 from Totley to Stoney Middleton—the modern road down Froggatt Edge. 11. SHEFFIELD-LANGSETT. Wadsley-Langsett Trust, 1805. At this date the road diverged from the Sheffield-Penistone Road at Catchbar Lane. The new road was an extension to the end of Penistone Road near St. Philip's Church, and was made between 1837 and 1840. It followed the modern line through Middlewood, Oughtibridge and Stocksbridge—called by Fairbank "a beautiful and romantic valley." Over the section from Shalesmoor to the bridge at Holme Lane, Fairbank was engaged in litigation in order to get paid for his services. 12. SHEFFIELD-GLOSSOP. Sheffield-Glossop Trust. Turnpiked by an Act of 1818 and opened for traffic in 1821. Much was hoped for from this road, as it led more directly to Manchester. It was a very expensive undertaking because of the gradients, and the Dukes of Norfolk and Devonshire contributed heavily. The route is the modern one—Crosspool, Rivelin, Moscar and the Snake. A branch was made from Moscar to Langsett—Mortimer's Road. The foregoing list of new and reorganised routes and roads represents great enterprise and expenditure. Their effect is to be seen in the considerable use of them and in the stimulus thus given to Sheffield industry. Their efficiency is to be observed in the speeding up of transport. This may be illustrated by the times of the coach journeys. When Samuel Glanville of the "Angel" optimistically advertised in 1760 liis intention to run a coach to London, he concluded his announcement with this sentence— "Performed, if God permit, by John Handforth, etc. . . ." The trip took three days. In 1787 the same journey was done in twenty-six hours, and the last Sheffield Mail did the distance in sixteen hours. The earliest Mail Coaches travelled at six miles an hour, but the speed was increased to twelve in their heyday. In 1836, thirteen coaches were advertised to leave "The Tontine" and "The King's Head" daily. The coaches and the new Turnpikes were doomed as soon as the North Midland Railway was brought past and northwards of Sheffield. Dr. Gatty writes their epitaph : Everyone formerly knew the Tontine Hotel; it was a standing institution of the town. At the Commercial and King's Head Inns the mail and stage-coaches generally changed horses, whilst the Tontine was the great posting house. Twenty horses and five post-boys were always ready when the yard-bell rang, and the call was given "First pair out!" As many as forty pairs of horses have been supplied in one day, by borrowing from other inns, and the highest personages of Europe have been drawn from the shadow of the venerable archway ... on their way to York or Doncaster. At one time the respected host had as many as three hundred horses standing at different stages for changing . . . and when the Midland line was opened as far as Derby, a temporary stimulus was given to the posting business. But when the line was extended past Sheffield to Normanton, the whole posting establishment collapsed at once. Twelve pairs of horses were wanted one day, the last on which there was any demand, for on the morrow the road was forsaken, and the whole stud of the proprietor had to be sold at any price. Thus, in a short while, one of the fine old inns of former times, in the courtyard of which a carriage and four could be easily driven round, came to grief. It was pulled down in 1850 to make room for the present market-house. . . .[34] Notes 1 Hunter, Hallamshire, p. 153. 2 Goodwin, q. in Sketchley's Directory, 1774, p. 19. 3 Hunter, HallamMre, p. 168. ... 4 Leader, Reminiscences of Sheffield, p. 105. 5 Directory—Sheffield, pub.

  4. I had been told Coal Aston was originally called Cold Aston. Looking up Dronfield history I find that the Coal Aston mine was opened in 1785. An old ordnance survey attached shows an old mine in the green area. An older map shows some woods on the Sheffield side of Coal Aston as Coal pit woods. The history site claims Stubley on the other side of Dronfield was mined from the 16th century and Car Lane mine opened in 1795. What is now Dronfield Sports & Social club on Carr Lane is known to be originally a Miners Welfare club, and opposite is the Miners Arms pub. I was told the mine there was a drift mine. There was also a mine at the top of Mickley Lane where some new houses have just been built. When this site was Standall Tools the upper car park was actually on top of the old mine spoil tip, and a square brick structure in a service yard was said to protect the old mine shaft.

    1861 Pubs

    OK, here is the current list of Pubs in 1861 with known keepers. They may, or may not have known keepers for other years, this list is only 1861.

    Drift Mine

    Rather late this, as I have only just been approved I remember a drift mine from about 1950. I think it said 'Haigh Seam' over the arch. It was near to the south side of the railway bridge which carried Waverley Lane over the LNER (ex GCR) line and close to the conveyor belt which brought coal over the fields from Handsworth Colliery to the screens by the railway. It seemed to descend roughly parallel to the conveyor, back towards the pit. I don't remember it being excavated, but I do remember a time before it was there, and before the conveyor belt, when there was a narrow gauge railway, cable hauled, bringing the coal across the fields in short trains of 3 or 4 tubs, and the empties back to the pit. This narrow gauge track is marked at the bottom of the old map given by the link in the second reply. Living in Handsworth we approached it via Waverley Lane, which follows the line of the Parkway. In those days it was an ash track which left Handsworth Road opposite Clifton Lane, went steeply downhill and then steeply up again, past the end of Hall Road on the left, with a field on the right where we used to sledge. At the top of the hill it was joined from the right by a wider ash track coming in from Halesworth Road, and continued behind the houses on Larch Hill. The field on the right here had an old railway coach for a changing room, before that an old tram body. We were told this was Brown Bayley's sports ground. After Larch Hill there was a tip on the left and another sports ground and some cottages that still exist on the right – Waverley Cottages. This part is now tarmaced and according to Goolge earth is called Quarry Road. The track of the conveyor belt seems to be a footpath – I no longer live in Sheffield so I can't check first hand. After crossing the railway bridge there was an abandoned siding with some derelict wagons which we used to play in, and plenty of waste ground where I have flown model aircraft. Further on there was a disused pithead gear, much smaller than the working one at Handsworth. This might have been High Hazels No. 3, judging by the old maps. Looking east from the railway bridge you could see a footbridge over the railway which was on a path from Finchwell Road and led to a small wood, Spring Wood, which had wonderful bluebells, but which was totally destroyed by opencast coal working – as was the middle part of Bowden Housteads Wood – vandalism. The map numbers in the reply are Ordnance Survey grid references. The drift associated with Handsworth Colliery at 44070 38750, the last one given, is about the right place. The other references are all north of the railway.

    The Moor in 1977

    Well spotted, I missed the sign, so perhaps not a very temporary thing like site entrance. I am sure the name of the arcade is related to Cambridge Street (previously Coal Pit Lane) but have never seen any evidence of an earlier road just where the arcade was. Pinstone Street as we know it didn't appear until after 1880 and I think the arcade was built soon after that. Up to 1960 Cambridge Street lined up just about directly with the top of the Moorhead triangle that surrounded the Crimea Monument and I may be wrong but think the addresses on that bit were Moorhead. This photo' from an earlier post probably explains better what I mean ---------------- https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/16570-a-birds-eye-view-of-old-sheffield/?tab=comments#comment-139917 ------------------ and this other early post has some good information about the general area --------------------- https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/15327-68-pinstone-street-in-1881/?tab=comments#comment-131019

    Jew Lane/Jehu Lane

    In November 1846 the Independent described a variety of street improvements, amongst them: "...gives power to the Commissioners to make the following new streets....5. Baker's hill to Pond street. But this includes a great deal more. Connected with it is the widening of all Jehu lane and about 100 yards of Pond street. The upper or western side of Jehu lane is to come down, so as to turn this narrow lane into a wide street. The new street begins with the Palace Inn and goes forward for about 100 yards, crossing Pond hill just above the end of Little Pond street. Here the widening of Pond street commences. It begins by cutting away a wide belt of property on the upper side, gradually narrowing to a point where the passage leads up to Arundel street. This improvement will give us from the end of Pond street to the north end of the Old Haymarket, a straight street of about 700 yards long." Here is an extract from a letter to the Independent in 1872. There was much debate about the renaming of streets OLD SHEFFIELD STREET NAMES. To the EDITOR - There is as much (possibly more) local history to be gathered from street names which have disappeared, as from those which remain. The following is a list of some of the older names that have vanished, or been altered, or which linger only in the vocabulary of old inhabitants. I give their modern equivalents so far as I know them :—Brinsworth’s (or Brentsworth’s) Orchard (Orchard street), Townhead cross, Blind or Hollin lane (Holly street), Truelove’s gutter, (Castle street) China (now Cheney) square, Longstone lane, Church yard, Bull stake (Old Haymarket), Jehu lane (late Commercial street), Hermitage Bowling green, Banks, Irish cross Cross street, Isle, Cleeham, Bowling green. Petticoat lane, Norfold, Old Waterhouse. Pond Well hill, Saint Pavers (Sands Paviours), Parkgate, Pinstone Croft lane (Pinstone street), Lambert knot Scotland street), Lambert croft (Lambert street , Town mill, Hick’s-stile held (entrance to Paradise square from Campo lane), Lombard street, Figg lane (Figtree -lane), Barn street, Workhouse croft (Paradise street), The Underwater. The White Rails (Nursery street), Colston crofts (Colson street and Bridge street), Batten row, Holy croft, New Peascroft (Pea croft), New Church side, Vicarage croft (Vicar lane), Red croft (Redhill), Bailey field, Sycamorehill (Tudor st.) Of course more modern changes which have even yet hardly obtained foot·hold among us - Cambridge street instead of Coal pit lane, Brunswick road for Tomcross lane, and the disestablishment of Tudor street, Little Sheffield, (which in its turn had displaced Gaol street) by Thomas street. The changes from croft to lane, or from lane to street, are perhaps hardly worth recording. It may be noticed, however, that often the word street was formerly omitted altogether. Thus: Portobello, Gibraltar, Scotland, Ponds. The old directories contain manifold variation in spelling. Thus Hollis croft frequently appears as Holles croft, Colson croft, Colston, and so on.

  20. This article first appeared in the Transactions of the Hunter Archaeological Society and is reproduced by kind permission of the Society EXTRACTS FROM DIARY OF A TOUR FROM LONDON TO YORKSHIRE, LANCASHIRE, CHESHIRE AND DERBYSHIRE, AUGUST 3rd-SEPTEMBER 22nd, 1798. The author is unknown, but it is gathered from the diary that the initial of his surname was "M", and that he resided at Baker Street, Portman Square, London. On this tour he was accompanied by his wife and one daughter. He had a second daughter who remained at home. Presumably about fifty years of age and rather corpulent, he was an honorary member of Manchester Literary Society and received its diploma after his return to London. The diary contains about a dozen or so sketches, but by whom they were executed, no information is forthcoming. The following are a few notes on the Sheffield extracts of the diary which was acquired by Mr. A. J. Flawkes, F.S.A., of Wigan, in 1940, who has kindly consented to the publication of local extracts therefrom. It is much in the same style as are the records by the Hon. J. Byng, who had covered some of the same ground nine years previously. Byng visited Sheffield in 1789 and was also shown some of the details of the manufacture of what to-day is known as Old Sheffield Plate, by Henry Tudor of the firm, Tudor & Leader. At that date the business was carried on where now stands Tudor Street, but every vestige of his house and factory, with, it is said, a garden stretching away down Sycamore Street, has long since disappeared. Mr. M. reached Sheffield via "Harrowgate" on Sept. 2nd, 1798. At the hotel in Harrogate, where he stayed presumably, he met Dr. Younge of Sheffield, who founded Sheffield Royal, Infirmary, and Mr. Dickson (Dixon), also of Sheffield, who no doubt persuaded Mr. M's party to include Sheffield in their itinerary. Mr. M. describes in great detail the production of plated wire, which was a feature of Mr. Dixon's activities in the silver-plating trade. He also gives a graphic description of a visit to what is now the Nunnery Colliery Co's. coal mine. This stretched away right under the Don at Attercliffe, even reaching as far as the foundations of High Street and what is now the Cathedral Church. The Angel Inn[1] at which Mr. M. and his party stayed was afterwards pulled down and succeeded by the building recently demolished, Outside on the wall was a carved figure of the Recording Angel blowing a trumpet, very beautifully executed by an Italian sculptor, Rossi. The writer possesses an old three-division gilt mirror, acquired some forty years since at a sale of interior fittings, being perhaps the only original remaining relic of this well known hostelry. Not being satisfied with his quarters at the Angel, Mr. M. removed to the Tontine Inn,[2] where previously on his visit to Sheffield, the Hon. J, Byng also put up (June 12th, 1789). This hotel, erected in 1785, was pulled down in the year 1850, the site now being occupied by the Sheffield Market Hall. Mr. M. calls attention to the very dirty, narrow streets in Sheffield; also he refers to there being only two churches, probably St. Peter's (now the Cathedral) and St. Paul's, recently pulled down. The Assembly Rooms stood at the corner of Norfolk Street and Bowling Green Lane (Arundel Street). The Sheffield plated button and hollow-ware factory he visited on September 4th would probably be that of Daniel Holy & Co., established in Mulberry Street in 1776. Mr. "Dickson" was a manufacturer of silver-plated wire, the name of the firm being Mark Dixon, Silver Plated Wire Drawer, Wicker, Sheffield. In 1785, Mr. Dixon was joined in partnership by a Mr. Wilks of Birmingham, who was a former apprentice of Matthew Boulton. This firm's activity can be traced as late as middle nineteenth century. Mark Dixon was not connected either in business or family relationship with the firm of James Dixon & Sons of Cornish Place. To whom the steel forge which the party visited belonged cannot be stated; most probably it would be situated somewhere in the neighbourhood of Neepsend. F. Bradbury SUNDAY SEPTR 2 (1798). Left Wakefield, fine morning and charming ride to Millerdam, on the left of which is the seat of Sr. Thos. Pilkington, but the grounds only are visible from the road, from Leeds to this place which is 12 miles is a paved foot path, kept in nice Order, on the right of this place is the residence of Richd. Wightman Esqr. We changed horses at Barnesly. Bad Inn, we should have gone to Bank top a single house upon the summit of a Hill, which we descended, the road sandy and exceedingly bad and heavy, leaving Worsborough on the left we passed through Chapel Town and down a terrible steep hill into Sheffield, we drove to the Angel, which was recommended to us as the best Inn in the Town, on our alighting we were shewn into a small, close, dark and disagreeable room on the ground floor, which looked into a narrow dirty street but we refused to order any thing except they would accommodate us with a better room upstairs, they then conducted us into a good room on the first floor which they promised we should occupy during our stay. We then ordered Supper, and I went to call on my friend Dr. Younge, who unluckily was gone to dine at his Country House, and Mr. Dickson not having arrived we sauntered about the town which was compleatly dirty, and strewed with Nutshells from one end to the other, as if all the inhabitants had been eating them the whole day. Shops all shut, place extremely dull and not a person to be seen of a tolerable decent appearance, return to the Inn, sally out again and go into a Church, which was so hot and crowded that we could scarce advance beyond the door, returned home, supped in ill humour, but had scarce finished when the Doctor came in, and by his enlivening conversation and sprightly sallies, soon restored our spirits, and Mr. Dickson also joining our Party the time past merrily till midnight, when our friends left us, and we betook ourselves to the pillow, in tolerable good temper. MONDAY SEPTR 3RD Morning very wet, found on quitting the Chamber that Cloth was laid for dinner in our up stairs room, and we were again thrust into a confined place below stairs with the Sun shining directly upon it, for the Navigation Meeting was to be held in the Room we occupied and this was known when they promised it to us and therefore considering it as an imposition, we ordered our bill, paid it, and left the House, our Umbrella however arrived by the Mail, to our no small gratification, for to give is one thing but to lose by carelessness and inattention is another. We went over to the Tontine Inn, - a spacious good House, rooms large and lofty and in a wide street, did not breakfast till noon, Our friends both visited us, and the Doctor conducted us to a Coal mine which we determined to see to the bottom, as it was not necessary to go down the shaft, but by a subterraneous passage, we entered it in a peculiar manner, they fastened two trucks together, such as they fill with Coals, these trucks have four low iron wheels each, which move in a groove of Iron fixed to the earth, they harnessed a Horse and placed him behind the trucks, with his head towards them not to draw us down, for the machines would have gone of themselves, but to prevent their going with too great velocity, which the steadiness of Old Ball compleatly secured, for they could proceed no faster than he chose to walk. Mrs. M. and my daughter were in the first truck and the Doctor accompanied me in the second, and thus we proceeded with each a Candle in our hand through a narrow passage cut out of the coal just wide enough to admit the trucks and of sufficient height to prevent our heads from touching the top, down a steep descent to the distance of 750 yards passing under the bed of the river, a Man preceding us with a lighted rope and a boy driving the horse and another followed behind, the narrowness of the passage, the darkness of the place, the roughness of the carriage, the noise of the wheels, the trampling of the Horse, the hoarse voices of the Men, and even the uncommon sound of our own tongues reverberating through the conecave, produced a most astonishing, a singular effect. When we arrived at the end of the pit, wealighted from our vehicles, and each of the Ladies dug a piece of Coal, which they bore away with them as a trophy, and proof of their valour and prowess. We now penetrated half double many yards farther until we reached the shaft when we found ourselves 100 yards below the surface of the earth and near half a mile from the place where we entered. During our stay here steady Ball was attached to the front carriage, and we having resumed our seats, our strong and steady Nag drew us safely from our dark and sooty cavern into the visible World again. The Men declared that our Ladies were the first he ever knew to have descended into the pit; the Boy assisted us when we came out to wash, by procuring water &c for both face and hands bespoke where we had been, and a small gratuity to the young rogue made him exclaim I wish Ladies would come everyday! At a little distance from the Mouth of this Pit, are furnaces for burning this Coal into Coke, it is kept 48 hours in these Kilns, and when it comes out and is cool it is irregular shaped, cracks and shivers to pieces, much resembling starch but in larger masses. This Coke as it is called is used in various manufactures where the Coal in its natural state cannot be applied. The Doctor now being obliged to leave us, Mr. Dickson took his place, and introduced us to a steel forge. The hammer was moved by a Water wheel, and the Operator sate on a swinging bench suspended from the ceiling, a large bar of red hot Iron is put into his hand, the end of which he puts between the Anvil; and the hammer, his seat moving forward as the bar proceeds, it is soon extended to treble its length but losing in bulk, before he parts with one, another is whipped under, so that the hammer is at no time suffered to strike Anvil, which would inevitably break the face of it, a stream of water is constantly pouring upon the axis of the hammer to prevent its taking fire; It is difficult here which to admire most, the grandeur of the mechanism, the rapid motion of the hammer or the dexterity of the Workman, but the toute ensemble was compleat. We next proceeded to Mr. Dicksons own Manufacture the plating and drawing wire, the operation of which is curious and wonderful, by means of fire they cover a cylindric piece of copper about 2 feet long and two inches diameter, with a thin plate of Silver and then draw it out by means of an horse mill, through a number of apertures gradually decreasing until they get it to the finess required which is often as small as the wires of an harpsichord. These apertures are made in a steel plate, but the most extraordinary part of this business is, that the first thin plate, which seems to bear no proportion to the thickness of the copper extends equally with it, and still covers every part, and appears like silver wire as no part of the copper is seen, altho' what was at first but two feet long is now perhaps extended to 200 yards. They rub the wire with Bees Wax and I believe mixed with grease to make it pass smoothly through the hole, and at the end of each operation, it is put into a kind of oven, with a furnace on the side, so contrived as to fill the oven like part with flame, in this it remains until it acquires a red heat, which the workman carefully attends to, it is then immediately taken out and immerged in a Tub containing water impregnated with Vitriol and when cool, it is again applied to the engine to be further extended, and so on until they have got it to the size they want, a horse accustomed to this business knows exactly when the whole of the wire has passed and stops immediately of his own accord. From hence we pursued our enquiries and entered another spacious building to see a blast forge, and luckily a few minutes before they began to tap, a term used for opening the Furnace to let out the fluid Metal. The fire in this furnace acquires its immense heat by means of two enormous bellows turned by a Water Wheel, which send forth a constant blast into the furnace that roars like the rushing of a large body of Water that has been pent up, on the opening of a flood gate. On tapping the furnace the liquid fire rushed out and following the course assigned to it, through different channels flowed into various moulds appointed to receive it, so that in less than ten minutes we saw two large Cannon, two pipes for conveying water, and several smaller articles cast. The Cannon when they come out of the mould, being all solid, we went to another part of the building to see the operation of Boring them, as it is impossible to make them true if cast hollow. Here again is another proof of the excellence of Mechanics, and the ingenuity of the Person who could apply the Mechanical powers to such great and admirable ends. The Lathe by which this boring is performed is turned by Water and the solid Metal yields to the power of the tool as readily as Soft Wood gives way to the instrument of the common Turner. Our detention in the blast forge preserved us from a heavy shower of Rain that fell while we were there but which luckily abated before we came out, we now bent our course to a flatting and slitting Mill, here again the universal excellence of Mill work, and the great utility of a Water wheel is evidently manifest. In a furnace there were a great number of bars iron about 2 feet and½ long and 2 inches broad, all perfectly red hot. A Man brought out one of these with a pair of Tongs, and applied one end between two rollers, another Man taking it in another pair of tongs as it passed through, which it did with rapidity and a treble increase of length; this Man applied the end again between two other Rollers which stood in a direct line with the first, on the other side of which it was received by another Man, cut into 7 or 8 strips & was then laid by to cool, the imperceptible manner in which this was done and the rapidity of the execution, struck us almost dumb with surprise, and we returned to our Inn to Dinner deeply impressed with the wonders we had seen. On our way back, we had an excellent view of the Town of Sheffield enveloped in smoke, for the numerous manufactories most of which are performed by immense fires, keep the town in a perpetual cloud of smoke, and the streets as if paved with the surface of a Blacksmith Shop. Sheffield has a fine stone bridge over the Don, another over the Sheaf, and two Churches. It extends about a mile from East to West and from North to South, better than a mile. There is an Hospital for poor People, called the Duke of Norfolk's Hospital which has a pretty Chapel attached to it, there are meeting-houses for Presbyterians, independents, Quakers and Methodists, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. There are also two hospitals, a charity school, a free grammar school, a Town Hall, a handsome assembly-room, and a commodious Theatre. There are between six and seven hundred Master Cutlers who employ not less than 12,000 persons in the Iron manufacture, besides the plated Button making and other trades. It has an excellent Market and accommodations for the Market people. Tuesday is market day, for Butter, Corn, Cattle, and fish. The Butchers shambles are very numerous and clean, all inclosed in a proper building and one good regulation is adopted here, which is that the Butchers are all obliged to kill their Meat in Slaughter Houses erected by the side of the river, next to which is a handsome stone wall, and on the opposite side places for holding the Live Cattle by which means the whole is removed from the view of the Town, as there is no thorough fare through the place, and the filth is immediately washed into the river, from each separate Slaughter House. TUESDAY SEPTR. 4TH. Rise early, Breakfast and visit the Metal Button Manufactory, and saw the whole process from the first plating of the Copper to the finishing of the Button, that is to say the punching out of the round piece, smoothing and then rounding the edge, fixing the shank by means of the blow pipe, punching instead of engraving the various figures upon them, inlaying with mother of Pearl, or precious stones, polishing and lastly, fixing them on cards for sale. A great part of this business is done by Women, and so expeditiously that it is wonderful how they can do it. From this manufactory we went into a Shew Warehouse for plated Goods, and saw some elegant and curious articles of exquisite Workmanship, particularly 3 Urns of a new pattern on a handsome stand. One for Tea, a 2nd for Coffee and the third and largest for the Water and so contrived that the Cock turned into either of the smaller ones at pleasure. Highly delighted with our mornings entertainment, we took leave of our friend Dr. Younge who was obliged to attend the Infirmary, and mounting into the chaise directed our Course towards Castleton, but before we had passed the Market, we discovered that one of the Horses was unable to perform the journey and we therefore made the Post boy go back and change it, during which time we were politely invited into the House of a Gentleman, who sent his servant to watch our baggage and Chaise, and with his Lady entertained us with their polite conversation. The fresh Horse being put to the Chaise, we again resumed our seats, and moved slowly on through a pleasant but hilly road for 7 miles, the prospect being chiefly Hills, and altho' varying in form were principally barren Moors, particularly one- immense hill, that scarce afforded subsistence to a few poor sheep. [1] Ebenezer Rhodes, writing in 1826, states the first stage coach in Sheffield, 1760, and first Coffee Room opened at the Angel Inn, 1765. [2] In Reminiscences of Old Sheffield it is recorded that the Tontine was built on the site of Sheffield Castle Barns in 1785, and the people were amazed at the erection of such an important hotel. Twenty horses and five post boys were always ready when the yard bell rang, and in the courtyard a carriage and pair could be easily driven round. It was said to be the finest hotel in the kingdom at that time.

    http://youle.info/history/fh_material/attercliffe_p3.html THE STORY OF Old Attercliffe (pt 3) G.R. VINE B.Sc. WASHFORD ROAD. THE Washford area is full of interest although a hasty glance would not justify the statement. Three centuries ago, William Spencer, of Attercliffe Hall, who died in 1649, was a land-owner here, seemingly in the Faraday road vicinity, and also held " at will " from the lord of the manor some nineteen acres of the Forge Meadow north-east of his freehold. The Fairbank papers from 1757 onward indicate many land transactions in Washfordia, among them this very suggestive one, that in 1792, Wm. and Jno. Hartop proposed to take part of Washford Meadow for 99 years. As shown on page 72 Joseph Ward and Joseph Read were proprietors in 1819 of nearly eleven acres of meadow land through which now run Washford and Faraday roads and Trent street. It is worth remembering that prior to 1794, when this section of the main road was made, there was a continuity between the northern area and the triangle outlined by Stoke street, the river and the said road. By the middle of the 19th century, although rural features had not completely disappeared, that forerunner of industrial development, the necessary though inartistic brickyard, had claimed part of our ground. The ordnance map of that time shows an " old brick kiln " on Jonathan Oakes' croft of thirty years before and a small building at the brickyard entrance' near the bridge. No other buildings west of the corn-mill estate are indicated except the six dwelling-houses forming Bridge terrace, built by Jonathan Wood about 1850. In 1855 Thomas Edward Mycock, a most enterprising business man, owned some pasture land and a brickyard here, whilst Thomas Wilkinson appears to have looked afterhis employer's interests from the little office already mentioned. Six years later Mycock had succeeded Melling, Carr and Company at the Don Glass Works, which were situated just beyond the chemical works in Faraday road on the river side. Yet further, he was a brick' maker at Broad Oak Green, Ecclesall ; a quarry owner along the Intake road, a plumber, glazier, painter, builder and contractor, and a dealer in terra-cotta ware, drain pipes, etc. etc., with an office at No. 108 Fargate, or in modern terms, in Barker's Pool between the City Hall and the Cinema House. To Mr. J. M. Furness's 'I Record of Municipal Affairs in Sheffield from 1843 to 1893 " we are indebted for a few details of his public life. He was a member of our first Town Council in 1843, representing St. Peter's ward until November, 1846. Then in May, 1851, he was elected with six others to the Aldermanic Bench, a position he occupied until his death on August 6th, 1865. It is well to note that William Jeffcock, of High Hazels, Darnall, was our first mayor, and that George Hill, William Marriott and John Shaw were our Attercliffe representatives on that first Council. Charier. Gibson, joiner and builder, a new-comer to Attercliffe from Lord street, Park, was one of the pioneer builders in Carlton and Washford roads, commencing with two houses (2s. 9d. per week 1), a house and retail shop, and a house, shop, and shed, all " near Washford Bridge," where industrial developments eventually gave us the Warwickshire Furnishing Company's place. Mr. J. A. Shepherd, of City Road, an Attercliffe man " bred and born " (to use the old, old phrase), a very helpful correspondent of mine, writes " behind the large house, still standing, to the rear of the Warwickshire, with windows facing the bridge, in the next yard below was another house similarly situated but larger, built by Mr. Gibson and occupied by a Mr. Lee, sheet- roller at the Baltic Works,. who had four sons, John, George, Tom, Fred, all of whom worked at the same place and at the same trade. Tom Lee married a sister of Mr. R. H. Ramsden, the well-known Fargate hatter." Another of Mr. Shepherd's reminiscences takes us back to the eighteen -twenties, but refers primarily to the opposite corner of the bridge : " My mother, born in 18,15, as a girl had to carry water for domestic purposes from the river, thankful for the steps that led down from the bridge corner. People had to buy drinking water at a halfpenny per bucketful, unless they were fortunate enough to be near a well or a pump." In the early sixties Mrs. Teresa Lee was the landlady of nine houses in the road, the rents varying from 2s. 7d. to 5s. 4d. per week. Her residence, the larger house referred to above, has now disappeared, giving place to Wm. Cook and Sons' Glasgow Steel Works, which seem to gaze across the river at their older neighbour, John Fowler's Don Foundry, erected in the early 'seventies, the firm reaching back through several generations as the Sheaf Foundry in Exchange lane, off Furnival road, the site of which lane is now covered in part by W. H. Smith and Son's premises. A dozen tenements-including the Bridge Inn at the eastern cornerowned by John Brimelow and George Rhodes, appear to have ended the 1861 building activities in the road, but by 1864 several centres of industry were here established: Cundy Bros., Attercliffe men, John, Jonathan and William, millwrights and engineers, brass and iron founders : Reid Holliday, a Huddersfield man, ammonia and chemical pitch manufacturer: Hornby and Elliott, chemists and druggists sit No. 13 High street, part of the site of the present Sheffield Telegraph Buildings, acid makers at the Don Vitriol Works (now the Sheffield Chemical Works): William Leggoe, edge tool and cast steel fork maker. Pass on to 1876 and note Castle and Turton, Premier Works, scythe makers: James Law and Company, Washford Works, engineers and ironfounders: Henry Whitton, Effingham Steel Works, crinoline. steel makers: William Metcalf, tar distiller: Hornby, Fairburn and Company, Sheffield Chemical Works (Edward Preston Hornby as in 1864 above, of Richmond: Jno. Fairburn, in '62 a lead merchant, No. 3 Hartshead ; residence, Fairfield, Broomhall Park): E. W. Oakes and Company, sweep smelters, refiners and bullion dealers, brass founders, Washford Smelting Works. To correlate our industrial wanderings with the rural life of half-a-century earlier, turn to the Fairbank 1819 map on page 72: run your eye along the eastern boundary lines of plots 45 and 46 and continue that direction to the top of the letter j in the name Joseph Read. Translating into actual movement, we have walked from the Bridge Inn, along the right-hand pavement of Washford road, and stopped at the Sheffield Chemical Works. GEORGE JACKSON. We cannot leave Washford road without a paragraph .about one of its best-known people in bygone days. Note his last advertisement in Hartleys' Almanac for 1887: "Why go to George Jackson's? Because he has for twenty-three years supplied goods of a genuine and reliable quality. Then why go elsewhere?" Prom 1864 to his death in 1887 he occupied part of the Gibson property next to the Bridge (see p. 90), having the premises adjusted to his requirements as the years went by. An honoured Atterclevian, Mr. W. W. Chisholm, writing his In Memoriam notice for the same year, said ,Where is the sage and genial George Jackson ? To him let us pay a tribute of warm and unfeigned esteem. Never man sought more devotedly and disinterestedly the welfare of his neighbours, and rarely has quiet, plodding perseverance been more genuinely appreciated. In every walk of life George Jackson was a titan: to every good cause he was an open-hearted friend : and to every cloaked sham or tinselled fraud he was a scathing and fearless foe." BRIDGE STREET. Revert to the Fairbank 1819 map on page 72. Draw a straight line from the main road through the letter s in Little Close, No. 47, to the figure 3 under Long Close, No. 50, cutting across the holdings of John Shirley and John Wilson. This line approximately coincides with the direction of Bridge (now Trent) street to its junction with Faraday road. Building re-commenced here soon after the 1853 survey. Jonathan Wood, owner-occupier of Wood's (or Bridge) Foundry, a member of Zion Church and Choir, resident at No. 29 Bridge terrace, was the landlord of twelve tenements behind the foundry, the rents ranging from eighteen-pence to half-a-crown a week. Later, in 1855, Parkin and Backhouse were the proprietors of the foundry; 44 patentees and manufacturers of Metallic Spring Piston Plungers" to quote a part only of their 1860 advertisement. William Parkin was J. Wood's next-door neighbour in the terrace, and John Backhouse later became the landlord of the Dog and Partridge Inn at the corner of Oakes Green. In the autumn of 1861 Henry Rangeley, of The Grange, Unstone, near Dronfield, was the owner (with T. Clarke in tenancy) of the works and yet another dozen houses on the other side of the street. Following these somewhat rapid changes, the well-known Thomas Clarke and Sons have successfully carried on the business since 1864. BLAST LANE TOLL BAR. On the opposite side of CarIton road and in Blast lane Robert Maltby, a mill-wright at Attercliffe forge, had built thirty-six houses beginning next to William Milner's GreyHorse Inn in Blast lane, coming round the corner into the main road, and ending at the older property already erected in CarIton road. The most interesting item given in the 1855 enumeration of tenants is the record of a Toll-house, apparently at the corner, tenanted by toll-collector Joyce, rent free. The '53 ordnance map shows a detached building near that corner, on the pavement or sidewalk, before the Maltby houses were erected, bearing the description " Blast lane T.P.," the initials standing for Turn Pike. Mr. Shepherd, already mentioned, says that his two sisters, now well advanced in years, remember the toll-house here quite well. The 1849 directory cites John Sephton of the Sportsman Inn, as col lector '-presumably toll-bar collector-and the 1861 rate book gives Henry Oates, a joiner, living at the Blast lane Catch Bar. Doubtless many readers are acquainted with the later position of this bar at the junction of Stoke street and the river-side part of Effingham road, the toll-house still standing there but in an unofficial capacity. Mr. Joseph Hill Appleton (1810-801, chemist and druggist in Attercliffe from New Year's Day, 1839, till 1879, overseer of the poor in the 'eighties, collector of taxes for several years, surveyor of highways and a member of the old Board of Highways 1860-5, strongly opposed a proposition made by the Duke of Norfolk's agent concerning the dedication of the townward part of what we now call Effingham road commencing at the present unofficial toll-house. The difference of opinion arose over its unsafe condition due to the undermining tendency of the adjacent river. As a matter of fact, a section of the road near the river bend actually collapsed shortly afterwards. The negotiations having failed, the toll-bar was removed from Stoke street corner and placed in its present position, toll being levied for the ---oldPark road and Bacon Lane" far into the 'seventies, if not later. FARADAY, BESSEMER, MUSHET. Some of the street-names about here are worthy of our thoughtful attention. Walk along Washford road: round the corner is Faraday road; cutting across it is Bessemer road. What great stories are behind the names! Sir Humphrey Davy (1778-1829) was once asked what he regarded as his greatest discovery. Tersely he replied, " Michael Faraday." Laboratory assistant to Sir Humphrey at the Royal Institution in 1813 when but twenty-two years of age, Faraday (1791-1867) succeeded Davy in the professor's Chair of Chemistry, this science, along with magnetism and electricity, constituting his principal fields of investigation. " At whatever point we touch the great electrical achievements of the present day we are always able to trace back the beginnings of them to Faraday's work. On August 29th, 1831, he wound on an iron ring two insulated copper wirer, and found that when an electric current was started or stopped in one wire it created a transitory current in the other. This may seem trivial to a nonscientific person, but that simple discovery gave us the alternating current transformer, without which there could be no large-scale distribution of electric current for light or power. Every electric light, every dynamo whispers the magic word Faraday." So wrote Sir Ambrose Fleming in the Daily Mail for August 8th, 1931. It is said that this Prince of Investigators, when commencing his investigations on the subject of steel alloys, selected Messrs. Sanderson Brothers mid Newbould's West street works in Sheffield for his melting operations over one hundred years ago. Sir Henry Bessemer, F.R.S. (1813-98), was a prolific inventor : it is said that he spent the sum of £10,000 in patent-stamps alone 1 His process, patented in 1856, for making steel at a cheaper rate and in greater quantities than the earlier methods could manage increased the annual output from 50,000 tons to one-and-a-half millions. In 1859 he established the firm of Henry Bessemer and Company north of the river, in Carlisle street east, next to John Brown and Company's Atlas Works, with William Allen advancing from manager to resident partner within three years. In 1879 Mr. George Wilson, of Banner Cross Hall, managing director of Chas. Cammell and Company, expressed his conviction that this new product should be termed Bessemer-Mushet steel, "as it is certainly due to a method invented by the latter eminent metallurgist." Robert Forester Mushet, who died in 1891, son of David Mushet, the introducer of puddling furnaces, disclaimed any right to be called eminent or renowned (as another friend styled him), and said that he " merely supplied the rudder to the Bessemer ship, and a rudder is indispensable no matter how otherwise complete the ship may be." Briefly, the Bessemer process consisted in driving thin columns of cold air at a high pressure through a molten mass of pig-iron to remove impurities by oxidation, leaving in the mass the required percentage of carbon, thus transforming the iron into steel. How we remember the gorgeous pyrotechnic displays, arising from this airforcing process, at Brown, Bayley and Dixon's works in the late 'seventies, where the method was in use ! The uncertainty of stopping the blast at the right moment, when the required amount of carbon was secured, proved the great difficulty. Mushet discovered the solution of the trouble by adding to the seething mass a certain compound of iron, manganese and carbon, called spiegel-eisen. The process is carefully detailed in Pawson and Braiisford's Guide to Sheffield, edited by John Taylor, issued in 1862, and the story of Mushet's looking-glass-iron (the meaning of the strange word above) is best read in his own book published in 1883. Grateful for the help derived, my readers are referred to Mr. Stainton's " Making of Sheffield," pp. 288-295, for lengthy extracts from Mushet's book and delightfully informative contributions of his own. The first Bessemer premises in Sheffield, outside the inventor's own, were built in the Atlas Works on the initiation of Mr. J. D. Ellis, the managing- director of the firm. THE CONTINENTAL STEEL WORKS. Born -at Bingen, on the Rhine, in 1845, and educated there, Joseph Jonas came to Sheffield about 1870 and commenced in a small way as steel manufacturer in Bessemer road. Two years later he was joined by Robert Colver, of Western Bank, and in. 1875 the firm had become Jonas, Meyer and Colver, manufacturers of steel for tools, files, saws and other things. By 1890 'Jonas and Colver ' formed one of the most prosperous concerns in the district, and when, Inter on, the famous high-speed steel (to which they gave the name of 1 Novo') made its impact upon the industrial world, Messrs. J. and C. were amongst the first in the market with the new steel. Extending business necessitated drastic enlargements, and their new premises eventually covered a very large area. To really appreciate this statement. begin in Washford road where the works join Ambrose Shardlow and Co.'s premises: walk along the road to Faraday corner: go eastward to Bessemer road, turn south, then along Livingstone road (main entrance to the works), across Birch road into Harriet street, out into Trent street and back again to Faraday road, a distance of about 800 yards with the Continental Works on the right hand nearly all the way Mr. Jonas was returned unopposed as town councillor for Attercliffe in 1890, following Mr. Edward Langton in the Council Chamber (which eventually became the main room of the former Reference Library in Surrey street). Thanks to the initiative of Mr. Langton, who, with his brother, resided at High Hazels for some years, and subsequently to Councillor Jonas's good efforts, the park was acquired, by purchase, for the benefit of our city, about 1894, including the house built in 1850 by our first mayor, Mr. Wm. Jeffcock, which is now, among other admirable features, a gallery of. valuable, and valued, old Sheffield pictures. Mr. Jonas became Lord Mayor in 1904 and received the Royal favour of Knighthood in the same year. His partner, Mr. Colver, likewise shared his townsmen's confidence, being elected to the time-honoured office of Master Cutler in 1890. It is pleasant to link up our old friend, Mr. J. H. Winder, of Royds Works (see p.. 25), with the present survey, through his grandson, Mr. A. B Winder, son of the Rev. J. H. Winder, Vicar of Woodhouse (p. 26). In 1908 Mr. A. B. Winder was appointed manager of the new Siemen's plant put down by Messrs. Jonas and Colver in Stevenson road. Continually advancing, he became general manager and director of Industrial Steels Ltd., and is now- works director of the English Steel Corporation Ltd. It may be added that the firm *of J. and C. was reconstructed in 1929 under the title of Jonas and Colver (Novo) Ltd., the directors of the Neepsend Steel and Tool Corpor. ation acting for the new company. Detailed accounts of the reconstruction appeared in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph for January 19th and February 23rd, 1929. OTHER HIVES OF INDUSTRY. In 1854 George Wharton, of the Blonk street steel works and later of Pond hill, carried on the old Bailey furnace (see p. 71) behind. S. W. Kitching's grocery and provision shop, 38 CarIton road, renting from Robert Maltby a converting furnace, steel-house, shed and yard for a modest £13 6s. 8d. per annum., 1861 -saw. Moses Eadon, of the President Works 1 S.D.T., May 14th, 1932. in Savile street east, finding some use-probably for experimental purposes-for the same old premises, within easy distance of his residence at the corner of Shortridge street. Business was brisk in Bridge street in 1876. At number 31 Ambrose Shardlow, engineer and millwright, also residing in Shortridge street, was commencing the work that soon took him into Washford road with eventually the Continental Works on his right, and the yet-standing ruined houses that recall the horrors of the air raid on the night of September 25th, 1916, the site awaiting a happy trade revival warranting the contemplated Shardlow extensions on the left. Then there were George Shimield and Son's steel works, the principal member of the firm happy in his trade announcement that he had experienced twenty-four years of practice as workman and manager with the big firms of John Brown and Co. and Cocker Brothers. The Don Glass Works (ace p. 90) were then in the occupation of William Langwell (of Chippingham street) and Co. who eventually removed as Langwell Brothers to Darnall road, near Cleveland square, using the same river-side name to describe their new premises. The name of Greenwood, tardistiller at the River Don Chemical and Grease Works on the eastern side of Bridge street, is #till recalled by the adjacent group of dwelling-houses forming Greenwood place. At the top of Bessemer road were James Fairbrother's Crown Steel and Wire Mills. John Taylor's description of the firm's activities in 1879 makes excellent reading even yet in Pawson and Brailaford's Guide. Mr. Arthur Lee bought the business in 1874, and in 1892 Mr. Percy W. Lee - mananaging director here, and of the Trubrite Works, Meadow Hall, Master Cutler in 1927-8-joined his father and elder brother, Mr. Arthur S. Lee, in the business. Eight years later he was established in the same line at Burton Weir, but in 1903 he returned to the family firm, amalgamating his own business with it. Cold rolling of steel is one of their specialities: in fact, we. are almost sure to encounter one of their motor lorries, informatively em, blazoned with " Cold Rolling " on its sides, buzzing along the roads hereabouts. 1876 had Wm. Atkins and Co. at the Reliance Steel Works, and later Woodhouse and Rixson (tonic sol-fa singers of fifty or so years ago will remember Mr. Francis Rixson) were established at the Chantry Steel and Crank Works next to the Crown Works on the river side. In 1911 five steel firms filled the western side of Trent street: Thomas Inman (a family name beloved in educational and other circles) at the Britannia Steel Works; W. H. Shephard, Trent Street Works; J. Shaw and Co., Gibraltar Works; Henry Green and Co., and Crosslands, looking at Wright Brothers, old-established hot-water engineers, and Rider Wilson's cooling table waters on the other side of the street. We conclude our review of " Other Hives" by a brief roll-call of the 1932 firms in the Washfordian area. In addition to the wide-spread Continental Works, we have in Washford road the. Warwickshire Furnishing Company; Wm. Cook and Sons, Glasgow Steel Works, with John Fowler's Don Foundry across the river; G. T. Winnard's River-side Engineering Works; Steel-rope Pulley-block manufacturers; Effingham Steel and Rolling Mills (and in Windsor street); Manchester and. Sheffield. Tar Works; Sheffield Chemical Company at the Don Vitriol Works; and Ambrose Shardlow with motor cranks. a speciality. Trent street, W. H. Shephard, steal manufacturers; Sheffield Welders.; Wright Bros., Rider Wilson, and Hallamshire Pure Milk. Purveyors. Bessemer, road, Arthur Lee and Sons, Crown Works;. Woodhouse, and Rixson, Chantry Works; Joseph Beardshaw and. Co., steet manufacturers in 1896, brass founders in 1911, at the Acme Steel Works; Hall and Pickles, steel manufacturers; and at the corner of Trent street and Attercliffe road the time-honoured Bridge Foundry now in its eightieth year, THE STEAM CORN MILL. Walk along Attercliffe road-or CarIton road as it was called in earlier days-for about a hundred- and-thirty yards, from the eastern end of Bridge terrace to No. 457, just beyond Armstead road. This distance indicates the frontage of the old Attercliffe steam mill property. Turn along Armstead road and note the houses numbered 8 to 16 on the right. flow they differ from their neighboursI The old-fashioned roof-tiles proclaim their old age! They formed the dwellings of Robert Bunby and other employees at the corn mill more than sixty years ago. Within the memory of many Atterclevians, here, at No. 8, were " The Attercliffe Turkish Baths " with Thomas Garbutt as proprietor and medical botanist, the best sixpenny Turkish Bath in England 1 " Cross over Stevenson road into Birch road: note the gloomy-looking stone building bearing the informative description " The Sheffield Foundry Workers' Club and Institute." That was. the Mill House once upon a time. Before the club had it 11 The Self-supporting Dispensary " was here in CarIton Hall its it had come to be known. " Poor persons can have medi cine by paying sixpence "-so ran a contemporary notice fifty years ago- provided they attend before eleven in the mornings, except on Sunday. Members pay one penny weekly, which entitles them to attendance and medicine. Mr.. O'Meara is chief, assisted by Mr. Turner." " The buoyant and vivacious Timothy O'Meara 1 His memory will long be fragrant in the recollections of hundreds of Attercliffe, people. And the same can be said of William Turner, who died at the dispensary on the seventh of February, 1893, an unqualified practitioner from the technical point of view, but credited by the thousands to whose ailments he ministered as a physician of rare discernment and skill."' Later, John Columba Byrne, physician and surgeon, carried on the beneficent work. Then followed the club and institute. The mill itself stood a little to our right as we walk from the Turkish Baths to the Dispensary, one corner in Birch road and another on the far side of Stevenson road. The 1795 Fairbank map shows a corn mill on this site, but a 1792 record states that William and John Hartop were proposing to take a part of Washford Meadow on a 99 years' lease. It is quite possible that this record gives us a clue to the early days of the mill. When it became a steam mill is not clear, but it carried this description in 1805. William Hartop was the miller, and in 1819 he was living in Heppenstall lane. Built into the wall of the new premises at the eastern side of Zion Chapel is an old tombstone, removed from the nowcovered part of the old graveyard, bearing the inscription " In memory of Mary Ann Hartop, the only child of William and Sarah Hartop, of Attercliffe, who died July 10th, 1817, aged 19 years." Mrs. Hartop, described in the Zion records as 'I the miller's wife," was also buried in this yet-revered God's acre. In a 1787 Attercliffe rate-book I find William Hartop and Company credited with two coal pits, an ironstone pit and a brickyard, but, unfortunately, the whereabouts of these centres of activity are omitted. Further, in the Minutes of the Overseers of the Poor under date July 30th, 1819, the names Wm. Hartop, Esq., and Mr. Jonathan Oakes, occur in the somewhat lengthy list of overseers present. Miller Hartop will long be remembered for his great generosity in the days of high prices of flour at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th. It is recorded that in 1801 the bellman announced that the people could be supplied with 1 Hartley for 1888 and 1894. flour at Michael Raybould's, in Snig hill, for 1016 a stone.' In August, 1795, it was 516, but Mr. Hartop, sensing the hardship laid on the working classes by demanding such a price, promptly sent his wagons into the town laden with flour at 2/7 a stone. In their gratitude' the people harnessed themselves to a coach and dragged it to Attercliffe for the purpose of bringing the benevolent miller to Sheffield and drawing him in triumph through the streets of the town. He declined the honour, but the importunity of the populace induced him to permit his servants to go instead, and the coach proceeded to the town amidst continual acclamations of Joy. This mill was destroyed by fire in 1805. Here is the account of the fire as it appeared in The Iris for October 31st. ---Thismorning at five o'clock the Steam Mill at Attercliffe was discovered to be on fire. The flames burst through the windows and raged with such fury that nothing could be coved. The roof fell in about six o'clock. All the grain, Machinery and so forth were consumed." . However, a new mill was shortly erected on the same spot. Fairbank, 1819, shows that the estate, just over three acres in extent was in the hands of William Hydes' executors and in the tenancy of John Shirley. There were two ponds, a house and garden, a small plantation and an acre enclosure adjacent to the highway, and then the 'steam engine, corn mill, stables, etc.,' to the right of the house. In 1822 we get J. mod T. Shirley: 1833, John Shirley, miller and maltster: 1838, Shirley and Parker, corn factors, miller& and maltsters (Benjamin Shirley at the mill house, Henry Parker at Hall Carr). In 1839 John Shirley is a corn miller and merchant me Not 10 Corn Exchange and at our steam mill. This takes tic sotto the Old Town when the Corn Exchange stood a little to the east of the River Sheaf (then-running in the open, not, as now, underground) between the Canal bridge in Exchange street and the Sheaf bridge in Broad street. In front of it was the New Haymarket, the site now occupied by the 'Wholesale Fruit Market. Thomas Shirley, grocer and flour dealer, 26 Church street and No. 1 Haymarket, supplies us with another memory of the old town in his further business description of " Corn Miller, Albion Mill, Shemeld Croft." Our present Commercial street viaduct approximately runs over the old croft, and down there in the Sheaf Market the Albion Corn mill is still standing and known as the Live Stock Market. Getting back, however, to Attercliffe, in 1849 Jackson and Smith were here, Samuel Smith being the resident partner. They were also the millers at the quaint little flour mill at Canklow which is now merged into John ,Brown's colliery premises there. Jackson and Sons were the millers in 1852, and then followed Philip Stevenson in '54, with Stevenson and Dodds a little later. Isaac Dodds was the senior partner in the firm of Dodds and Sons, engineers, millwrights, etc., at the Holmes Engine and Railway Works, Masbro' : whilst miller Stevenson (or Stephenson) resided in the mill-house with its " shrubbery, garden, greenhouse, fruit walls, stable and carriage house," to quote the 1861 rate-book description of the residential part of the mill property. The partners, had their own malt-kiln and wharf on the canalside, along with nine tenements, at the top of Wharf yard or Courts 20 and 22 near the Royal Oak Inn. It was in this yard that Tom Gill resided, the night watchman at Hornby and Elliott's chemical works (see p. 91), who, on the night of the Sheffield Flood in 1864, was suddenly alarmed by the rushing waters, gave a wild shriek, and perished in the flood. Calamity again overtook our mill: here is the Sheffield Daily Telegraph account of the second fire on July 24th, 1863. Great fire this morning. Destruction of the Attercliffe Steam Corn-mill. These extensive corn and flour mills, the property of Messrs. Stevenson and Dodds, were destroyed byfire this morning in about one-and-a-half hours. The main building was 25 to 30 yards long, and five storeys high, containing 300 sacks of flour and 1200 of corn, a very small part of which was saved. The fire engine arrived half-anhour after the outbreak was discovered, but the fire had then gained possession of the premises, and soon the building was a mass of flames. The stables, haylofts and other outbuildings were preserved. Several of the onlookers stated that they remembered the previous conflagration in 1805. The damage is estimated at £5000." Mr. David M.. Chapman says that the stones taken from the ruins were used in building the shops at the corner of Church. lane and Attercliffe road, where Lomas Clapson's clock-face on the front wall for so many years reminded us of his tenancy of No. 717 in the eighteen- seventies. Let us roam in imagination. over the steam-mill estate of eighty or ninety years ago, guiding ourselves by present-day landmarks. Walk a short distance along Stevenson road: we are really on the big lawn in front of Mr. Stevenson's residence, having made an entrance through the border of trees behind the CarIton road boundary wall 1 There's a fine shrubbery on our right, screening the mill department from the house. On our left, where is now Bessemer square, commenced a ten-foot carriage. drive from the road to the front door, and beyond that row of trees along its edge are a smaller lawn, a little copse, and a reservoir connected by a narrow channel with the larger one behind the house, the remotest corner of which miniature lake is fairly indicated by the junction of Birch and Livingstone roads. From this second dam a straight water course, about 900 feet long, ran, to the Don which it joined behind the Crown Works in Bessemer road. There seems to have been an underground water-supply for these dams from the Woodbourn estate and beyond. Mr. Paul, discussing the point some years ago, said that he remembered such a channel being 1 cleaned out' at the Stoke street corner. The house side of the property we notice is well wooded, but the mill section is devoid of such sylvan amenities. Armstead road represents the wagonway to the mill buildings: on our right are the employees' dwellings, and behind them a row of sheds and warehouses ending at the reservoir edge. A study of the 1819 plan on page 72 will materially help us in our 1 fairyland' ramble in 1850. The long, straight water course mentioned above is indicated by the division line between James Simpson's holding, number 51, on the right, and Joseph Read's, numbered 48 and 50, on the left. STEVENSON ROAD. The first part of this road, which was in all probability named after Philip Stevenson (or Stephenson) of the corn mill, was made soon after the 1863 fire, the half-mile stretch to Woodbine road, and thus to Brightside lane, following many years later. We have already, in imagination, traversed the original stages across the Stevenson lawn now we will journey in reality along the modern extension, remembering as we go that we are walking over the centuries-old Hammer Grounds of the Shrewsbury Forge. Here on our left we have Marple and Gillott, metal brokers, buyers of old railway wagons and all kinds of steel things which come under the descriptive name of Scrap. Then comes the Eagle Foundry of John M. Moorwood, founded in 1910, a branch from the well-known firm of Moorwood, Sons and Co., stove-grate makers, etc., for many years at the Harleston Works, off Carlisle street east. How happily informative was the hour recently spent in the works under the genial conductorship of the governing director,. Mr. John Martin Moorwood! Moulding, casting, turning chilled steel rolls for Sweden and elsewhere : an up-to-date laboratory built and equipped by the director's son-in-law : and workshops extending westward to Bessemer road, crowded with activities, constituted some of the many arresting features of our visit. , " The Making of a street-lamp pillar" is the theme of a delightful paper by Mr. Moorwood, illustrated with photographs of the processes involved in the manufacture thereof at the Eagle Foundry. A cast-iron lamp-pillar possesses a new interest following the reading of the paper, and one cannot but quote the author's conclusion. " 1 would like to give you a text, something to live up to, like the subject of my lecture-Let your light so shine before men that they, seeing your good works, may glorify God," Further along the road we note the offices of Messrs. Pashley and Trickett, a firm just now engaged in dismantling the pumping engine, built in 1864, at the Nunnery pit.' A few years ago they also dismantled the old Woodthorpe colliery buildings and machinery. We pass the sidings and goods station of the ' Sheffield and District Railway,' and cross the river into the Castle Meadows of far-off yesterdays extending beyond the waterway that supplied the Nether Shrewsbury Forge and still drives a turbine for its descendant, the Attercliffe Forge of Messrs. Sanderson Brothers and Newbould. At the end of our outward journey the name Cox and Danks, iron and steel scrap merchants, ship salvors and breakers, urges the perusal of a deeply- interesting account of the firm's many and varied activities that appeared in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph for December 30th, 1932. More recently (1613133) Mr. Cox's ten years' trying experiences at Scapa Flow whilst salving the German battleships were narrated, compelling unalloyed admiration for the wonderful intrepidity of our Stevenson-road firm. Returning on the eastern side of the road we pass one of Sanderson's entrances, and over the river the long frontage of " Industrial Steels " brings us to Oakes Green road, their 1 S.D.T,, 1413183. premises covering the site of the old Slitting Mill-of which more later. The Attercliffe Council school was opened, with Walkley, Crookesmoor, Lowfields and Carbrook, on August 17th, 1874. Our first School Board was elected in 1870, and re-elected in 1873. John Fairburn, of the Chemical Works (p. 92), was one of its members: so was Henry Joseph Wilson, of the Smelting Works, and John P. Moss was their clerk. One recalls with pride the names of some of the teachers in this school: Mark Wright, B.Sc., George Gleadhall Swann, afterwards Vicar of Darnall and subsequently of Pitsmoor, George Davis, son of B. D. Davis, the Board's Inspector fifty years ago, George H. Douglas' and Joseph Meadley, both of musicalcircles fame. Nor can one refrain from adding Thomas Bingley Boss, a pupil teacher here, and a member of Leigh street Baptist Church, who gave me my first insight into the world of mathematics. Baldwin street Congregational Chapel stands next to the school, built in 1907 in succession to the original building opened in 1875, fragrant with memories of its early days and of lives devoted to the work of the Kingdom throughout the years. Just round the Baldwin corner is St. Charles' Roman Catholic Church, the Very Rev. Canon Michael F. Beazley. the beloved father in the work. Built into the wall of the school premises in close proximity is a large stone bearing the inscription- Built in 1871 : rebuilt in 1929 : In memory of the Very Rev. Joseph Hurst, V.F., founder and first rector 18661905. THE SHREWSBURY FORGES. We again acknowledge our indebtedness to the late Mr. A. B. Shaw for our information about these forges.2 During the reign of King Henry the Second, in the year 1160, extensive iron works were established at Kimberworth by the monks of Kirkstead Abbey in Lincolnshire. These appear to have remained in operation for many years, for in the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558-1603) mention is made in old account books of smithies and iron works in the Kimberworth neighbourhood. The small iron-trade of Sheffield- consisting of scissor- making, shear-making, etc-came quickly into prominence in this reign, and its present name for cutlery may be said to date from this period. About the end of the 16th century the supply of iron and steel used in the town was in the hands of . the Earls of Shrewsbury, lords of the manor of Sheffield, who sold it, wholesale and retail, to the cutlers. In a manuscript book of William Dickenson, bailiff of Hallamshire in 1574, there is a record of steel deposited in the store-room of Sheffield Castle and of that sold to various people. The furnaces of Kimberworth and Waddisley (Wadsley) supplied iron to the Attercliffe mills, and the extent of the supply is here given in the account of Rolland Reavell in 1590. Between the 8th of February and the 22nd of March, 1589, a period of six weeks, the supply was 19 tons 11 cwts., costing £ 13 per ton, or £2541310 in all. The working charges for the same six weeks were:- the hammers at Attercliffe £291219 ; the Kimberworth furnace £23118110; the Waddisley furnace £511012; the Tankersley Stove-mill £811218, a total of £671415. There remaineth clear to my lord for the said six weeks £186/18/7." In a brief statement, by Rolland Reavell and Martin Ash, of Attercliffe, of iron made at the Attercliffe hammers in the year 1.587 it is stated that 89 tons 41 cwts. were made at the Upper hammer and 144 tons 9 cwts. at the Nether hammer. Mr. James R. Wigfull, in his paper on " House Building in Queen Elizabeth's Days,"' has pointed out that Bailiff Dickenson's house, built in 1575, stood in Sheffield on land now covered by the High street end of George street. Dickenson was a man of considerable authority in his day. William Dickenson, presumably the bailiff, is mentioned fre. quently in the 1637 survey of the Shrewsbury estates, both as freeholder and tenant. To us in these recent years especially interesting is the record that he rented for about £8 per year a hundred- and -three acres of " a spring wood of 25 years' growth " called Woolley wood. in Ecclesfield parish, possibly the land now, by the munificence of Alderman J. G. Graves, pertaining to the people of Sheffield. To revert to the Shrewsbury forges: about the year 1603 they were leased to Colonel Copley instead of being worked directly for the Earl's benefit. The 1795 map indicates a forge where the old Slitting Mill seems to have carried on its work into the first half of the 19th century, at the north end of (the former) Slitting Mill lane (1 Industrial Steels' has now cut off most of the lane). In the absence of any detailed information is it not rational to suppose that the mill was indeed the I old age' of the Upper Shrewsbury Forge, the same buildings but con. verted to a different use ? There was a water course leading from the near end of the weir head close to the present East Coast road, providing motive power for the forge, and then rejoining the Don, on its western bank, at Sandersons' works. The Nether Forge already mentioned would be the forerunner of Messrs. Sanderson Brothers and Newbould's place, which somehow has persistently been called Attercliffe Forge, or simply The Forge, although it is situated in Brightside Bierlow. THE HAMMER GROUNDS, This name denoted some lands on both sides of the river. Stevenson road now runs approximately through the middle of the western Hammer grounds which enjoyed the specific dis. tinction of here being called the Forge Meadow, which, in its turn, embraced the Chappell Meadow. Our only source of information for this section is the 1637 survey, where, however, no mention is made of the forges as being active, having, by that time, passed into private management. The record begins with the tenancy of William Spencer, of Attercliffe Hall (1584-1649), who for £11 per year rented 19.1 acres of " the forge meadow, being part of the Hammer grounds, lying next to the river Don on the north, the lands. of the said Mr. Spencer on the south-west, and the lord's lands in the use of Nicholas Staniforth on the east." This plot is numbered 246 on diagram V. Let it be noted that the Harrisonian phrase ,the lands of so-and-so' indicates freehold property, whilst the other description, the lord's lands in the use, etc.,' quaintly tells us that such lands were rented from the lord of the manor. The plots 244 to 247 were ' late parcel of the demesne " (demeen), that is lands belonging to the lord of the manor, retained by his lordship for his own private use. Continuing the record: John Wilson and Humphrey Twigg rented about five acres of the forge meadow, called Chappell meadow. Whether this name refers to a person or to the adjacent ancient chapel is not clear. Robert Chappell certainly owned lands in Darnall and in Dean field (yet to be described), and Wilson, Twigg and Chappell were all actively associated with the Hill Top Chapel, erected in 1629. The Wilson-Twigg lands, 245 and 244, had Spencer's holding on the north, Beighton or Oakes Green on the south-east, and freeholder Bowman's property on the south (which seems to have become the Steam Mill estate in later days). And lastly, Nicholas Staniforth, whom we last met in Salmon Pastures (p. 22), rented number 247, a five-and-a-half acres close (or fencedin meadow), north of Oakes Green. The inset at the top left-hand corner of diagram V will help to make these positions clear. THE SHEFFIELD DISTRICT RAILWAY. On November 20th, 1896, His Grace the Duke of Norfolk cut the first sod for the Sheffield District Railway, the ceremony taking place on the Old Forge Ground where now stands the Attercliffe Goods station, and where it had been suggested to build the docks for the proposed Ship Canal from Goole to Sheffield, a scheme that was eventually abandoned. In other words, this memorable ceremony was performed by the lord of the manor on the spot where at least four centuries previously the contemporary manorial lords looked upon the Shrewsbury forges as part of their private property.'- The District Railway was opened by the Duke-of Portland on May 21st, 1900. It may be noted here that the winding course of the Don in this area was simplified about the time of the railway's initial stages by cutting a channel across Sanderson's field, which has reduced the distance from Stevenson road to Attercliffe forge by nearly one half. The railway's operations were undertaken by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast railway, and this in its turn was taken over by the Great Central about 1906. At the present time it is linked up in the L.M.S. and L.N.E. railways' combine. The traffic lines, having passed over the river and its neighbouring water way, join the main L.M.S. lines, along with those from the Wicker station and the 1 big works,' at the Upwell street viaducts. THE PRE-REFORMATION CHAPEL. Many of my readers will remember the old cottages shown in the illustration facing page 105 (above). They stood until recently beyond the wall ending Colwall street. The story of the two on the left is of the deepest interest. Our earliest information about them occurs in the will of Laurence Smythe, of Attercliffe, dated April 12th, 1548, the summary of which will be found in the first of Mr. T. Walter Hall's fascinating volumes. Towards the end of a list of bequests the testator directed that the sum of 13s. 4d. be paid by hisson, Hugh, for twenty years 11 to the mayntenance of the Service of God in the chapell of Atterclif." The name at the head of this section was given by Mr. Hall to the place of worship mentioned in the will. The difficulty was the deter. mination of its position in Attercliffe. The late Mr. A. B. Shaw discovered in a manuscript rent roll of 1580 an illuminating entry: 'I Lawrence Wilkinson, for a house called the Chappell, 5/-" In the 1583 rental he found ,Lawrence Wilkinson for a house which was the Chappell at Attercliffe." Between 1583 and 1589 this house was converted into two dwelling houses, for in 1589 occurred the entry, "John Stacye for half of the house which was the Chappell at Attereliffe, 316. John Sheameld for ye other half of ye same house, 3/6." Mr. Shaw traced the tenancies forward to 1624, 11 but the entries are brief, and make no mention of precise situation." In Harrison's survey only one house is recorded as standing by Beighton Green, and it is significant that the house was in two parts, for the survey states ,John Read holdeth at will a part of a cottage by Beighton Green and payeth yearly 12 pence. Robert Bristow holdeth at will the other part of the said cottage and payeth yearly 12 pence." The late Mr. Paul zealously pursued the quest for the site of this ancient chapel, and in a lecture delivered in the Attercliffe Vestry Hall, on March 22nd, 1926, he said "It happens that there are some ancient buildings in Oakes Green, now used as cottages, probably much more ancient than any other property in the district, two of which show traces of having been, at one time, one house. Some months ago Messrs. Jonas and Colver purchased the houses and the surrounding land, and 1 had the opportunity of perusing certain old deeds in connection with the title. First 1 found that formerly there had been a rent charge on the property payable to the Twelve Capital Burgesses of the town of Sheffield which was commuted by a recent owner of the property. Then 1 found that a family of Penton apparently once owned this old house amongst much other Attercliffe property, and that by a deed dated May 10th, 1716, the properties were divided amongst the daughters of William Fenton, one of whom married William Burton, of Royds Mill (p. 61). There is an ancient door, now built up, apparently showing that this was once the main entrance to the building, and it is most significant that this property once belonged to Laurence Smythe (previously mentioned) who married Ann Fenton, and who by his will left his property to his wife's relations, the Fentons. ,,If this was the chapel, one may ask how the Earl of Shrewsbury came to convert the building into two. My explanation would be that the change in local religious feeling, from the old Roman Catholic faith to the Protestant, caused the people to avoid the building, and the Earl of Shrewsbury, a devoted Catholic, took possession of it to prevent the spread of what was then called the New Religion. The chapel was erected on the Green, and being on common land he, the lord of the manor, might consider that he was well within his legal rights in thus appropriating the property." The occupants of the two cottages on the left kindly gave Mr. Paul the opportunity of examining the interior, and the result of his observations still further strengthened the belief that these two had been originally one house, and further the arrangement of the oaken beams at the eastern end of the second cottage suggested that the original purport of the building was an ecclesiastical one. Unfortunately, from the antiquarian's point of view, these and the adjacent buildings were demolished in August, 1931, having been condemned by the City Council as unfit for occupation. In a later part of our story we shall deal with England's severance from papal authority and the dawn of the reform. ation early in the sixteenth century. Was the old chapel under discussion built about this time? War, Laurence Smythe the builder? Was he an adherent of the reformed religion, a protestant as we should have called him later? Was the chapel really an early protestant place of worship ? We seem to have no authority for positive answers to these questions, but 1 venture to say that probably the answers are all in the affirmative. OAKES GREEN. Many of our early English villages enjoyed the communal rights of a village green, an unenclosed space, grass grown, conveniently situated, imperfectly defined as to boundaries, used by the villagers for their May-day dancing, their sports, their children's games-in fact a public recreation ground devoid of restrictions. Attercliffe had two such spaces, Beighton or Oakes green, and Goose or Attercliffe green. How the name Beighton came to describe the open space we are now considering is not known. Rauf Beighton and his son, John, were named in Laurence Smythe's 1551 will already cited: and there was a Richard Beighten, shearsmith, a leaseholder in 1650 living where the Park steel works now stand, just over the canal bridge in Beighton (now Bacon) lane. It may be that the family of Beighton in earlier years had some influential connection with the green which perhaps unwittingly on the family's part caused the transference of the name to the common property. But this is purely conjectural, as indeed is any similar explanation of the later designation, Oakes green. The Oakes family, as we have already noted was widespread in Attercliffe, and here may lie the origin of its present and time-honoured description. The suggestion that the name is reminiscent of oak trees seems to have no real support. Turn to our map and note the position of the green in 1810 as roughly indicated by the dotted lines, with Oakes green road running across it. The colour-washed cottages in St. Charles street stand on a part of its western edge. Close to the figure 10 stood eight cottages owned by John Blagden (see p. 51) and G. B. Greaves. The present Heppenstall lane property including Mr. Markham's and Carlton Hall were near the green but not on it. Three detached portions are shown on the opposite side of Attercliffe road, suggesting that the traffic of those days ran over the southern corner of the people's property. A Fairbank 1777 plan of "Two closes belonging to WM. Burton at Attercliffe with a scheme for letting them in building plots " supplies some interesting details about the Heppenstall. lane neighbourhood. Three parcels of land were hereabouts demised (or left to him by somebody's will) to Price Heppenstall. One portion 11 not yet built on " occupiedthe south-western side of the lane: another portion 11 on which sundry tenements and shops are built " indicates the present Heppenstall lane with Mr. Markham's premises fronting to the main road: and the third part comprised 1651 square yards near CarIton Hall. The Inclosure of our greens and commons in 1811 is detailed in (the late) Mr. Paul's admirable book "Some Forgotten Facts in the History of Sheffield and District " (1907) which my readers will do well to study. Oakes Green, exclusive of the road, covered five-and-a-half acres. The numbers on our map show the positions of plots of the green. land allocated to various people at that time. Nos. 1, 2, and 8 to 12 indicate about three acres granted to the lord of the manor: No. 3, 726 square yards at the corner of Staniforth road to Mrs. Ellen Greaves: Nos. 5 and 6, about an acre, to Mr. Greaves, the lawn and front gardens of CarIton Hall. No.7, about 665 square yards, was to be reserved as a public watering place for horses and cattle, and this refreshing corner was still in use at the time of the 1853 survey. Nos. 13 and 14 represent about an acre granted to Edward Hanson, the former plot near the ancient chapel property, and the latter near the corner of Slitting Mill lane. Nos. 15 and 16, representing 1452 square yards on the north-eastern side of the Green road, were allocated to the Rev. Thomas Radford. TWO NOTEWORTHIES. The Rev. THOMAS RADFORD, M.A., was born in Sheffield in 1748, and in his native town he lived for sixtyeight years dying November 10th, 1816. He studied at St. John's: Cambridge, and followed John Downes (1740-44) and his son, Henry Downes (1744-75), as incumbent of St. Paul's (then a chapel of ease to the Parish Church, as was St. James' later) until 1788 when he became Vicar of St. James' Church (built in 1788, consecrated in '89), a position he worthily occupied to the time of his death. He was also Rector of Hardmead, in Berkshire, and Vicar of Mexborough, with which is united Ravensfield where he was interred, 11 having exercised his ministerial office in the town of his birth for the space of 41 years, loved and respected."' Mr. Radford was for five years (1810-15) chairman of the Weekly Board at the Sheffield General Infirmary. In Attercliffe, in addition to the plots 15 and 16 aforementioned, he owned some land through which Colwall street now runs, and it is significant that Dr. Edwin Richardson's house, which formerly stood on the site of Nos. 609 and 611 Attercliffe road (Boots Ltd, is 599 at the corner of Colwall street), was known in 1864 as Radford house. The 1787 directory records him as residing in Arundel street, "curate of the New Church." We cannot leave Mr. Radford's corner of Attercliffe without a reference to the Methodist New Connexion Chapel that was built about 1836 near the end of Chapel (now Colwall) street on the western side. The building had a frontage of about 45 feet, with a seating accommodation of 188 ',including 24 free seats." About 1873 or '4 its descendant, St. Paul's Methodist Chapel in Shortridge street, replaced the older building. One cannot but wonder if Mr. Radford's curacy at St. Paul's Church in Sheffield was responsible for the name given to the Attercliffe building. GEORGE BUSTARD GREAVES was the owner of some fifty acres of land in Attercliffe-Cariton house and grounds included-at the time of the W. and J. Fairbank survey in 1819. Diagram IV, p. 72, shows three of his larger plots. His story is replete with 11 Old Sheffield." Who was George Greaves, of Attercliffe, the father of G. B. ? Was he the Master Cutler of 1762 whose place of business was in Norfolk street (now Hay and Son's premises) with his town residence next door-the site of the Sheffield Savings Bank ? Or was he the filesmith of West. Bar Green in 1787 ? Mr. Leader, in his 11 History of the Cutlers' Company,"' says that the "genealogy is too obscure to justify any confidence of assertion." A Fairbank 1777 plan records George Greaves as leaseholder of the building we now call CarIton house, and indicates 11 George Greaves' cottage " a little to the northwest thereof. He married Jane Bustard, daughter of Richard Bustard, Lt.-Col. of the Sheffield Volunteer Infantry in 1803. Their only son, George Bustard Greaves, born in 1758, married Ellen Clay (1755-1834) whose father, Joseph, and mother, Mary, were buried in the Hill Top Chapel with others of the intertwining families of Clay and Speight. Greaves' name recalls the story of Page Hall, built in 1773 by Thos. Broadbent, and considered to be ',the handsomest residence which had so far been erected out of Sheffield-made capital." The Broadbent Bank failed in 1780, and Page Hall was subsequently purchased by George Greaves, whose son sold it in 1834 to James Dixon, the founder of the deservedly well-known Cornish Place firm. Later the hall became the N.U.T. Benevolent Orphanage, but is now in the market for sale, building having already commenced on the grounds. Joseph Clay's sister, Margaret, was the second wife of James Allott, of Attercliffe, and their son, James, married Esther Burton, daughter of William Burton, of Royds Mill (p. 6 1). This second James Allott was a partner in the Sheffield Lead Works, founded in 1758, then situated in Shude hill, Later he became the principal partner in the firm, and dying in 1783 without children, ---thebulk of his property still further enriched the Greaves family of Page Hall."' CARLTON HOUSE. The name CarIton is surely reminiscent of Worksop Manor, which for many ages was one of the principal seats of the Dukes of Norfolk, but was sold in 1839 to the Duke of Newcastle. The original manor house (which contained five hundred rooms 1) was burnt down in 1761, and the damage was said to have amounted to £100,000, including the loss of valuable paintings, statues and other works of art.2 Mr. Paul, speaking about this great catastrophe some years ago, suggested the possibility of Harrison's plans for the 1637 survey having been then destroyed. It was not wholly improbable, he said, that these had been removed to the ancestral home for safety during the troubled years of the Civil War when the Howards had but recently come into the lordship of Hallamshire. CarIton-in-Lind rick is included in the Worksop Union, and CarIton road is one of the chief streets of the town of Worksop. Worksop road and CarIton road are names that made a Noble pair! Would that the latter had not fallen into disuse in Attercliffe George Greave's house, built before 1777 as indicated by a Fairbank plan of that date, seems to have acquired its present name of CarIton House sometime before the middle of the last century. The 1819 Fairbank plan shows it facing a large " pleasure ground, garden and pond " -formerly part of the Green- an acre-and-a-half in extent. A winding carriage-drive commenced where Kimberley street, now begins. The frontage of the property extended from Mr. Markham's boundary to Oakes Green corner, and nearly the same distance along the Green road. The name of the 1819 tenant, Thomas Howard, takes us back in imagination to Sheffield High street of bygone days. At John Walsh's corner of Mulberry street there stood the Old Stone House, erected in 1727, which was at one time in the possession of the Greaves family, later coming to the Howards, wine merchants. Widow Howard dying in 1822, her son, Thomas, above mentioned, succeeded to the business, already having enjoyed the rural felicities of the village of Attercliffe. In the late 'thirties or early 'forties Samuel Jackson, of the firm of Spear and Jackson, merchants, and manufacturers of saws, files, edge tools, etc. (late of Gibraltar street, then of Savile street, subsequently of the AEtna works, Savile street east), was in residence here, later becoming the owner of the property, The firm had become wonderfully distinguished for the excellence of its products. Mr. Jackson was elected a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honour (founded by Napoleon the First in 1802 for the recognition of outstanding merit wherever displayed), and the firm gained the Council Medal of the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, the Medal of Honour from the Paris Exhibition in 1855, and the Vienna Medal for Progress in 1873. Samuel died in 1867, but widow Jackson and her daughters, Cora and Helen, con tinued in residence here, the 1876 directory showing Miss Cora Jackson as still entertaining the Jackson liking for Attercliffe in spite of the fact that building operations had already deprived the house of its early-Victorian rural surroundings. Later, CarIton house became the residence of Mr. Thos. Aherne Sheahan, physician and surgeon, continuing well into the second decade of the present century, leaving a name surrounded with memories of gracious service to the ailing folk of the district. In the late 'eighties Kimberley street took the place of the old carriage drive, a little street that cannot be left without a reference to one of oar finest printers who once lived in it. George W. Jones came to Attercliffe as a journeyman printer with Messrs. Hartley and Son, residing in Vicarage road and subsequently in Kimberley street about 1890. Eventually he removed to London where his artistic soul continued to lead him along lines of research culminating in the front-rank position he now occupies in the printing world. The Caxton Magazine for June, 1930, contains a full account of " Our Printer Laureate," from which we quote a few sentences. 11 He has made the great masters of typedesigning his debtors. He has searched the world for models on which to base the letters he has reformed and issued. The envy and despair of young craftsmen, he has ever been their encourager." With pride and affection we add the name of George W. Jones to our ever-enlarging list of Attercliffe worthies. OUR ILLUSTRATIONS, Frontispiece. A riverine scene about 1826 reproduced from an old print, showing the former course of the Don, with Christ Church in the centre. The view-point is the present far end of Baker street! In front of the Church is the "bold cliff" from which the name Attercliffe is said to be derived. The fishing enthusiasts in the foreground are worthnoting The photograph facing page 105 was taken by Mr. Cyril Ward in 1926. Mr. Paul considered that the lefthand portion of the little block of cottages formed the 1547 chapel described in the text. The fascinating view of historic cottages facing page 113 was taken by the late Mr. J. C. Nicholson, of 339 High street, forty or more years ago, from an upper window in Oakes green, opposite the near end of Slitting Mill lane. Most of the houses shown formed Hanson square. The old chapel was the quaint-looking cottage near the right centre, though it has been suggested that 1 the Chapel ' really stood to the rear of this place. Opinion is somewhat divided on the question. The near right-hand building is the westward front of Horbury house, which was subsequently converted into two. Forty-three or -four years ago Byron Lister, a roll-turner at the Baltic works, lived in this part, and Mr. Samuel Webster (my welcome informant on many Attercliffe points) in the other. Previously, Taylor and Heppenstall, of mineral waters fame, were here. Attercliffe Church tower, with the spire of Zion Chapel on the extreme right, are readily found. On the left is a fine glimpse of the old loop of the Don with its tree-bordered banks reflected in the water. Diagram V, page 114, embracing about 160 acres, will greatly assist one to localise roads, works, waterways, buildings and some former features, mentioned in this part of our story.
