  1. I can remember a few years ago now the D.I.Y. shop on Campo Lane, it was called Silverstones, it was a very popular shop for home improvement enthusiast but probably because of big stores opening up it took its toll on Silverstones and the shop closed, it stood empty and boarded up for a while - but - a film crew arrived and Silverstones was chosen to be dressed for scenes in the film and here’s my problem, I can’t for the life of me remember what the film was called or who starred in it, can anybody enlighten me?
  2. Hi all, I recently (around 3 years ago) moved to the corner of Derbyshire lane just as it turns into Hemsworth Road. The Mrs's mother says she remembers visiting our house and the one next door on way to and from school as they were both a sweet shop and a flower shop. Would anyone have any photos of this? My neighbor says she does have photos which are in loft and I've pestered quite a while to see them but i don't want to keep going on. I've tried searching on here but with no luck so far. I really would love to see these photos to show the mother in law and perhaps get them printed and placed somewhere in the house. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  3. Does anyone have any other information or ideally a photo of The Bacchus Public House on Holly Lane in Sheffield City Centre? (between the back of Sheffield City Hall and West Street) As you can see by the auction poster the Jolly Bacchus Pub and outbuildings were auctioned off in 1870 and I wondered what Holly Lane would have looked like back then The poster reads: Valuable freehold premises in Holly Street and Holly Lane to be sold by auction, by Messrs W. H. and J. A. Eadon at their auction mart, St James’ Street, Sheffield, on Thursday, October 20, 1870 at four o’clock in the afternoon, by order of the Devisees in Trust under the will of the elate Mr Joseph Bendelow, subject to the conditions of sale - the public House with the yard and outbuildings thereto, known by the sign of The Jolly Bacchus. Situate in Holly Lane, Sheffield, in the occupation of Messrs Williams Greaves and Co., or their undertenants, as yearly tenants; and eight messuages or tenements, with a warehouse and other buildings, two of the houses being used as retail shops, and fronting to and being Nos 34 and 38 in Holly Street, Sheffield, and in the respective occupations of Messrs Wood and Furguson, and the others being in the yard behind, and in the respective occupations of Messrs Fowler, Osborn, Underwood, and Large, and comprising the premises whereon the late Mr Joseph Bendelow carried on for many years the business of a plasterer and whitewasher. The site of the whole of the premises, which extend from Holly Street to Holly Lane, contains 482 superficial square yards or thereabouts. Further particulars may be obtained from the auctioneers; or from Messrs Brown and Son, solicitors, 1 St James Street, Sheffield. J. M. Jubb, Printer, Prior Court, High Street, Sheffield.
  4. Whenever I drive along Yew Lane, in Parson Cross, I am amazed at how wide it is between the houses on each side. Does anybody have any ideas?
  5. Does anyone know whereabouts on Claywheels Lane they were located?

    Coal men in Sheffield

    Does anyone know of a Coal dealers in Sheffield around the woodlouse area in the 1960s? I believe the dealer operated from a yard in Market street. I would be really interested in any information Thanks
  8. Some adverts for Sheffield based businesses from "A Technical Survey of the Iron & Steel Works of Appleby-Frodingham Steel Company", published by Iron & Coal Trades Review, 1955. Some are to be expected, as the companies are part of The United Steel Companies Limited, but plenty are not. Abrafact Brightside Foundry& Engineering Cooper & Turner Darwins Group Davy United (this advert was across two pages) The Sheffield Twist Drill & Steel Company

  10. Finally I have a few minutes to report on the latest Sharrow Lane School Reunion held on Wednesday 26th June. Altogether 29 former pupils and Sharrow residents turned up, the youngest aged 71 and the eldest, I think, 85. We had a terrific two hour session of exchanging memories and revelling in the atmosphere of the old Junior School Hall. With their permission, here is a list of those present: (The ladies consented to using their maiden names) Valerie Shaw; Christine France; Brian Milner; Tony Ford; Denis Anson; Mick Glossop; Jack wade; Alan Barnett; Tony Faulds MBE; Dave Holmes; Dave Storf; Ian Brelsford; Malcolm Gladwin; Ralph Holmes; Frank Turner; keith Spooner; John Beatson; Tony Hardwick; Roger Walker; John Smith; Phil Smith; Roger Stevenson; Graham Whitham; Darrell Whitham; Pauline Mackreal; Diane Goodwin; Ronald Hibbert and myself, David France. It was soon agreed that there should be another reunion later this year and so it has been decided there will be a special Christmas Lunch event at 1pm on Wednesday 27th November 2019 but places MUST be pre-booked through me. A price for the lunch will be published nearer the date. Watch this space! The photographs here show what a cordial and relaxed event it was. Book your space for November now by sending me a personal message.
  11. Tuesday I went searching for relatives graves at Abbey Lane Cemetery. I went via Graves Park. The first thing I noticed was a lot of dead trees in the park. Also there were workmen in the woods felling a lot of them as well as taking a lot branches off, back to the trunk. Now if this is to do with the spate of tree killing bugs that are around I don't know. Or it could be to do with general woodland maintenance, creating more light etc for new trees to grow, or a combination of the two! The first image however shows I think wind action, with some afterwards pruning. The chap isn't a woodman, but he does add scale to the picture. Not far away from this fallen tree is the Pack Horse Bridge. Meanwhile the water fowl on the ponds are enjoying the warm weather! The first picture shows a Swan on the island in the lake. While I was taking the Swan a whole bunch of them came up close. so I could get these shots including the youngsters! Ok now to Abbey Lane... As the Sheffield Indexers have the location records for the graves. I marked the ones that I was interested on a map. In section G were 3 Benton's and 1 Appleyard (my Great-Grandfather). And just my luck not one could be found! The reason is that those left have suffered damage and the vast majority in that section are suffered the worse than any other part of the cemetery. C section next to it is better in comparison, but the one Appleyard grave located in is typical of those in G section. The photo below is a good example, it is a distant cousin, of mine, the death of a young child called Sally. As the grave dates to only 1962 I was surprised at the state of it. Clearly too painful an event for my other relatives to keep visiting the grave and correct the damage. So if you have a relative in G section if the grave has survived you will be very lucky! It seems that most of the Appleyard graves (in Sheffield) of my family have been destroyed by either the Council or the elements I was a bit lucky with some of my Benton relations. Clearly the edition of more recent burials has help preserve the grave. And adds some new relations to my tree I did not know about And another grave in fantastic condition and at 103 perhaps one of the oldest people to be buried there Now to some stones that I found interesting, which I know Sheffield History Members will add lots of facts too. Sadly I spent around two hours searching G section that I didn't have time to have a full look around for more! The first came up whilst searching another section for ancestors. Some of the stones are laid flat in the grass, clearing one away I found this little musical gem! Lastly another a family grave recording the loss of a son killed in the First World War. Of course the body is still over there! It's remarkable how these older stones last much better than more recent memorials.
  12. Retirement brings on many extramural activities and having nearly completed my bucket list before the next bucket I see is the one I kick, I thought it prudent to see who's left out of my old class and where and WHO they are now ( many of the girls will obviously have a change of name ).. See link below http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;m00003 A few of our motley crew, I have sincerely missed since I left and I curiously would like to see how we all did after Smiley's J4 class and the ensuing 11+ dispersal.
  13. I had a nosey along the current Jew Lane the other day, walked past it loads of times but never along it. Im wondering if it used to be more of a thoroughfare than it is now? Anyone know anything of its history? From other threads there was a Jehu Lane which was where Fitzalan Sq is now, which currently contains all the bookmakers. Im referring to the current Jew Lane that has an entrance on Fitzalan Sq that runs between what is now the Coral bookmakers and the building that used to be the Blue Bel pub, and an entrance on Commercial St.. Heres a view from Commercial St.. From Fitzalan Sq, Looking down Jew Lane from Fitzalan Sq.. Looking back up Jew Lane towards Fitzalan Sq.. Having walked down Jew Lane from Commercial St, here it turns 90 degs right up to Fitzalan Sq. I wonder what this white brick building used to be?..
  14. I recently bought 'Sheffield: Emerging City (1969)' on how post-war rebuilding was going and what they planned to do for the future, which other than being a brilliant book, revealed old plans as they were in mid-flow. I was reading it and found in their overall plans that there was a side-plan to relocate West Street at the junction with Fitzwilliam Street via Broomspring lane, creating a new junction on the ring road where Hanover Street becomes Upper Hanover street. I wondered if anyone knew anything more about where this road would go or if anyone had any more details of the plan or whether it was just a brief side-note on the diagram. It also shows that (as originally planned in 'Sheffield Replanned (1945)') there would be another street or entrance way to the city along Wellingon Street which again is nowhere to be found. Photos attached, any information would be greatly appreciated. - I wonder if it would join Glossop road near the Hallamshire and be a dual carriageway along Manchester Road. The overall plan in two parts for the A61(M.) The area in question With the routes highlighted The diagram from 'Sheffield: Emerging City (1969)' The new street along Wellington Street as seen in 'Sheffield Replanned (1945)' And again from another angle And here as part of the overall development map

    Thomas Lane

    Afternoon all! I'm not sure if this is the right place for a request, but here goes. My Grandad's family lived on Thomas Street for a number of decades, stretching from around 1895 to the 1930s, but afterwards they relocated to Thomas Lane, which was a little Street between Bath Street and Egerton Street, Broomhall. Anyway, it turns out that they were living at number 5, as confirmed by both the 1939 Register, family documents, and a rather interesting newspaper article from that year. I've had a bit of trouble pinpointing the location of number 5 Thomas Lane, as there are no references to it being in a court, and no specific photographs of the street exist (I've included two from Britain from Above.) Even the 1905 Goad fire insurance maps cut off right before the street is covered! I was wondering if anyone on here knew any more about the area, or where the house might have been? Thanks, Lewis Waddingham

  17. FOUR LIONS FILMING LOCATION - CAMPO LANE This scene is another cracker as Barry finds Omar in Urban Deli on Campo Lane Barry decides to eat his sim card but ends up choking on it with explosive results!
  18. The Full Monty Filming Location at Stubbin Lane, Sheffield Here we see Dave (played by Mark Addy) and Gaz (played by Robert Carlyle) walking along a row of shops chatting. The actual filming location is Stubbin Lane in Sheffield See below...
  19. I wonder if anyone remembers the above? We called it the "drink shop" and it was run by "Aunt" Gladys and her sister. This tiny shop, with a bench seat along one wall,was where we bought our 2 oz of rationed sweets, our ice cream cornets, pop and ,when available, a glass of sarsparilla. Aunt Gladys was a lovely woman who, having one of the first TV sets in Firth Park, would occasionally invite a few of us regular kids into her back room to watch BBC Childrens TV and have ,as a treat, one of her home made ice lolly's.
  20. This shot of our characters walking up a hill was incredibly difficult to pin down but I did it (eventually!) This shot was achieved by the cameraman being quite a way away from the actors but zoomed right in on them, and the 'hill' wasn't actually a hill they're walking up but was the hump of a bridge between the cameraman and the actors! This actual Full Monty Filming Location is Shirland Lane which is in the Attercliffe/Darnall area of Sheffield The pub seen to the left is no longer a pub See below for the actual Sheffield location and what it's like now!
  21. Who remembers this fish and chip shop in Atterclffe? Is was situated right on the corner of Attercliffe Common and Whitworth Lane in Attercliffe. In the background you can also just about see the old Attercliffe Police Station
  22. Any ideas why Cockshutts Lane in Oughtibridge is sometimes referred to as Jossey Lane (maybe Jossy) ? On all the maps I can view, it is always shown as Cockshutts Lane.
