  1. Hi there folks, could anyone possibly tell me if I'm right on this one please. I'm looking at the 1871 census for head of household, William Bancroft. (His daughter Eliza is my Great Great Grandmother, she married Henry Rolley.) The address is Shude Lane, Forge Yard, Sheffield. I've found Shude Hill and what was Ponds Forge on google maps and on the 1800s map I've found Shude Hill and The Ponds. So, on the 1800s map, would one of the little side streets off Shude Hill be Shude Lane? Also, on Eliza Bancrofts birth certificate, the address is given as Forge Yard, Forge Lane. Sub-district of South Sheffield. Is this roughly all the same place? Thanks for any info or verification. Doris..

  3. I attach a screen shot of the 1849 Ordnance Survey map of part of the city centre. I'm looking at the history of the Porter Brook in the area. I've walked through the culverted parts a few times and there is a lovely stone arch bridge/tunnel between the Decathlon car park and the former Staples car park. The latter entrance is visible through a clump of trees. I think from the 1849 map that this is the two centuries old, and still intact, Vulcan Works Bridge (Vulcan Works was certainly on the site at the old Staples car park end). It is best part of 100 yards long and the Ordnance survey map shows it to be of some length (Hereford St did, and still does, run over the top). Any info/dates of Vulcan works and/or better map links greatly appreciated
  4. Looking for historical information please regarding the White Houses, which were situated at the corner of Bramall Lane and Cherry Street. I think I read somewhere that the buildings originally took their name from the fact that they were situated on 'White Lane', which I think was the original name for Bramall Lane. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s05913
  5. Just wondering if anyone knows what this building is / was (building on left in bottom pic) it doesnt look lived in, but the grounds around it are well kept. It looks like it may be in the garden of another house. Its certainly looked after

  14. I’m currently researching the Sheffield to Tinsley Canal, when researching lock 10 Wharf Lane and the surrounding industries I found a post on Sheffield History dated January 2017 by Sheffield History member Lysander. in that post when writing about Tinsley Rolling Mill a mention was made about a tragic accident involving a lorry. I’ve attempted to find a date for this incident and any other information but to no avail. As I’m a new member I can’t message Lysander and would appreciate any information on this matter. Thank you
  15. Does anyone have any information about the so called 'Dry Cottages' on Trap Lane. We walk quite frequently down Trap Lane and have noticed what appear to be well built steps and wall remains. We were once informed by passers by that there were a number of cottages just up from the Meadow Farm on Whitely Wood Road. They were supposedly not connected to a water supply and so got their name. I tried to find an early map but was unsuccessful. Any ideas?

    Photographs of Water Lane.

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