As promised, here is the information that I have put together about Westwells Colliery. The Colliery was situated on Plumbley Lane Mosborough. It was on a North Western elevation, with an inclination of 1in 9 .towards Eckington. It was owned by J&G WELLS Ltd and the downcast shaft was sunk to a depth of 46 yards around 1876 into the Blackshale seam of coal . A cross section of the coal seam in the pit bottom at the time of sinking was Top coal:- 2' 6".Dirt Band 13". Bottom coal 1" 9". The upcast ventilation shaft was 24 yards deep and situated on the Western extremity of the workings. Westwell Colliery was only a small concern with a working area of approximately 17x16 chains at its furthest reaches; that's roughly a 1/4 mile square. Roads were driven in the South Western corner of the workings which coupled up with the Plumbley Colliery making for better ventilation and a secondary means of escape should the need arise. This information was taken from A. F. Sutcliffes surveyor's report for J&G Wells Ltd, Dated August 18th 1908, but the colliery was capped in 1901. The four posts above are also very informative.many thanks. KEN.

From Le Tall's Woodhouse. Thomas Dunn lived at Richmond Hill house. The family came from Boston and moved to Malin Bridge. William Dunn lost his house in the Flood, his son Thomas went to live at Richmond Hill. He married a woman from the Horncastle family. But they had no children and he died in 1871 in the house. Thomas was the manager of the Sheffield Coal Company and a Liberal. It is said that he had to jump over a wall to escape from rioting workmen and doing so injured his leg which he never recovered from. He left the Coal Company to the Gainsford family of Darnall. One of which was his nephew. And in 1875 William Dunn Gainsford was in charge of the S.C.C. and residing at Richmond Hill House. Thomas Robert Gainsford went on to live in Woodthorpe Hall.

It seems to me that someone has made a mistake on the map which highlightes in blue what is labelled as Dent Main Colliery. This Colliery is in fact The Moorside Colliery opened in 1939 and owned by Hutchinson and Fox, it was sold to a Mr Waller in 1943 and granted an operating license in 1947 when the mines were nationalised. The mine was sold again in 1970 to Mr Neville Roberts and his son Mr Philip Roberts who's son Alan Joined "The Moorside Mining Company" in 1974. The pit had two drifts driven into the moorside at 1in3, it had 25 men working underground taking coal from the Parkgate seam with a Siskol Coal cutting machine and produced between 250 and 300 tons per week, the Colliery workings passed through old workings from Swallows Pit. All the coal was sold to the Blackburn Meadows Power Station at Meadowhall in Sheffield. the last coal was brought out in 1992.-------------- The Dent Main Colliery was situated on the opposite side of the road where the garden centre is now, alongside the "Diamond Row" cottages on Birley Moor Road

It has been an offence to have smoke coming out of your chimney since the full implementation of the Clean Air Act (1956). In Sheffield the act was fully implemented in 1965, after which time your "coal man" was not actually selling you coal as such but was instead selling you coke or "smokeless fuel". As this fuel has been processed in the coking plant to remove the smoke producing content it is quite difficult to get it to produce smoke at all. However, you can still buy coal for certain uses. When I was in Sheffield Steam Club we used to buy 10 tons of coal for our annual steam rally (and it isn't cheap these days) as traction engines need specific heat output fuels to run the engine optimally. It is still a requirement to control smoke emmisions as far as possible and you can still commit an offence by not doing. Some of the cheaper, imported Polish coal burns with a lot of smoke.

I worked for 6 years at Orgreave Coke Ovens a few years before the famous battle. The coal arrived by conveyor belt from Orgreave colliery and went straight into the crusher house. (The crusher house is the closest place to hell on earth that I can imagine) The coal was reduced to the consistency of fine black gravel and fed by conveyor into huge hoppers which had the appearance of concrete wheat silos. These hoppers were positioned at the end of a battery of ovens. Imagine a car battery the size of a 4 storey house and perhaps 10 times as long, these were the ovens that burned the coal. Each 'oven' was like the cell of a battery, about 4 feet wide. They were filled by a machine called a 'charger' which ran on railway tracks on top of the battery. The charger ran under the hoppers and filled up with coal, the 4 iron lids on an oven were lifted manually and the charger dumped its load into the white-hot void sending a blast of hot sulpherous gas into the air and into the face of anyone who didn't retire quick enough. This controlled burning of coal produced by-products: coal gas, pitch, benzene, toluene, coke and some others I can't recall. The coke was used to fire the blast furnaces in Sheffield and Rotherham, it burned clean and hot with the removal of all the components that would otherwise clog up the furnaces and make the operation decidedly more hazardous. Or, Perhaps Not ( the title of this post ) I think, means they wouldn't be still firing the furnaces with timber (I'm a bit slow on the uptake) Well, they aren't firing the furnaces with coke either, in fact, are there any furnaces left to fire? I've been away for a while.

I wondered about 75kg too and I would be surprised if she could lift that alone. I know I couldn't. Good info on the Keystone View Company. I had assumed it was something to do with the Keystone Press Agency who still exist in some form. The photo appeared on the site of a German postcard dealer so maybe it had been sent to a German publishers for use, which may explain the use of kilograms. It's still for sale and not cheap, but it's a striking image that could make someone some money. https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/collectables/photography/photographs/professions/photo-keystone-ansicht-sheffield-mrs-p-g-woodfield-shefields-only-woman-coal-dealer-887764159.html

My great, great grandad was killed picking up coal on Attercliffe road in 1920, here is a copy of the newspaper report Sheffield Telegraph Wednesday January 21st 1920 Coal-Picker’s End Robert Jordan (72) blacksmith’s striker, of 2ct 5 house, Oaks Green, was picking up coal off the tram tracks on Attercliffe Road, Sheffield, on Saturday morning. A motor lorry came along and the driver of it sounded his hooter four times before the old man took any notice of it. He then stepped back but after the lorry had passed, the old man stepped behind it, to resume picking up coal. He apparently had not noticed a tram which was coming behind the lorry. The tram struck him, knocked him down and killed him. At the inquest yesterday nearly all the witnesses said the old man must have been deaf. They did not think that the driver of the tram was to blame. A verdict of “accidental death” was returned, no blame being attached to the driver.

From "A Technical Survey of the Iron & Steel Works of Appleby-Frodingham Steel Company" published by Iron & Coal Trades Review in 1955:

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.

Another one I thought of was pit prop tapper, I am not sure of the correct title but a friend of mine did this job about fifty years ago, tapping the props down a coal mine, the sound he heard told him if the props were tight and doing their job safely.

This is like Wrights Coal tar. My dad swore by it, if anyone in the house had a bad chest out came the coal tar burner in went the night light and the coal tar fluid went onto the stone block in the top. Result, clear chest next morning after a good’s night sleep. All thanks to the coal tar. This was even better than being sent out when the workmen were mending the road and the vat of tar was giving off fumes. We were told to breath in the fumes and then we would feel better. The wrights coal tar had to be remanufactured and could only be burnt in a “safety” burner powered by the mains. Now it’s been discontinued. So like Sellers Salve, sold only at the Wickers Herbal Store, a great product is lost to today’s children. Just ask the question why did we not die young because of inhaling coal tar. jiginc

Thomas Myers beer-house was the Travellers Rest, Luke Armfield was the Miners Arms Thorpe Hesley and Enoch Morrell was at the Arundel Inn, Ecclesfield Common. Enoch Morrell was born on 6th August 1807 at Ecclesfield son of John, and died on 12th February 1865 at Ecclesfield aged 59. In 1841 he was an Agricultural Labourer living on Ecclesfield Common with his wife Harriett, and children Hannah 5 and Alfred 1. By 1851 he was a twine maker at Jackson lane Ecclesfield with wife Harriett, daughter Hannah, son Alfred and lodger Thomas Ellis also a Twine Maker. During the 1850s Enoch branched out into the beer trade, and by 1861 his main occupation was as a publican at Ecclesfield Common, with wife Harriett and son Alfred, a file grinder. His daughter Hannah (baptised 17th September 1837), married Thomas Ellis the roper, who had been working with her father Enoch. They married at Rotherham on 1st May 1853. Enoch applied for a spirits licence in 1859 and 1860 without success, as the Travellers at the other end of the Common opposed his licence application. The 1859 application was reported in the newspaper as being for the Army Hotel, but this may have been an error by the reporter. During his application in 1861 his solicitor stated that “the house, which had been built by the applicant, was the most commodious and well-adapted building for a public-house in the parish of Ecclesfield. There was stabling for eight horses, and a large space of ground separate from the highway in front of the house, besides a large yard at the back”. Mr Beardshaw of the Travellers Rest contended that Mr Morrell was incompetent to take the management of the house, which was being conducted by a convicted poacher named Ellis. It was explained that Ellis was the son-in-law of Mr Morrell. The application was again refused. In January 1862 my GGG-grandfather, William Wilkinson, a fork maker of Butterthwaite Wheel, testified in the trial of Joseph Wareham Ashton, a moulder, accused of highway robbery in Dog Leg Lane, not far from the Arundel. The victim had been in the Arundel during the afternoon, along with the alleged robber, to which Morrell testified. William Wilkinson had gone to the Arundel on Monday 23rd December at half-past seven and had seen the accused, who left at half-past ten, in time to commit the robbery. Mr Wilkinson left at eleven at chucking out time. Ashton was eventually acquitted by a Crown Court jury. After Enoch Morrell’s death, Thomas Ellis took over the Arundel’s licence and in May 1867 hosted an auction of the leasehold properties left in Enoch’s will. These were six houses on Hesley Lane at Thorpe Hesley and the Miners Arms at Thorpe Hesley together with four attached houses. (In 1861 Luke Armfield, a coal miner from Wombwell was keeping this beerhouse) In June 1870 Thomas Ellis was still landlord of the Arundel Inn, fined 20s. for allowing customers to play dominoes for beer. On 17th November 1870 Thomas died aged 41. In October 1871 Thos Rawson and Co, Brewers advertised the Arundel Inn to be let. On 19th January 1873 Hannah Ellis, Thomas’ widow, remarried to Joe Marsden, a miner of West Bar in Sheffield. Some later licencees of the Arundel Inn: Edwin Pepper (born 1833) had the Salutation Inn on Holbrook Lane / Wortley Road, High Green from 1887 to 1900. In 1891 his son Arthur Edward Pepper (born 1867) was a painter, before marrying Mary Jane Pepper nee Cooke in Q1 1895 and taking on the Arundel Inn on Ecclesfield Common. Arthur Edward Pepper (1867) died on 14th March 1916 aged 48, and his widow Mary Jane Pepper died on 14th June 1946 at the Arundel Inn. On 19th April 1927 Mary Jane Pepper aged 26, of the Arundel Inn (daughter of Arthur Edward Pepper Innkeeper) married Arthur Nugent 30, engineer of 47 Horninglow Road. Arthur Nugent died in Q3 1956 – his son Peter married in Q3 1956 and his new wife came to live at the pub – but found she was expected to work there, which was not to her liking, so they moved to Greystones, becoming neighbours and friends of my family. Peter’s eldest daughter currently runs the Mount Pleasant on Derbyshire Lane. Mary Jane Nugent (nee Pepper), widow died 1st December 1969 at the Arundel Inn. Arthur Edward junior (baptised on 3rd April 1895) On 27th March Arthur Edward (junior) , a butcher living at the Arundel, married Vera Wetherall, daughter of James Wetherall of the Wagon and Horses at Chapeltown. He died at 95 The Common, Ecclesfield The Pub Index for the Arundel Inn / Arms is here:

It belongs to the underlying lower Pennine coal measures which consist of mudstones ,siltstones, sandstones and coal. Sheffield has one of the most diverse geologies of any UK cities.

The reference to "uninhabited moors" may well be connected to the former mines on the south side of the Porter Valley up near Ringinglow. As for the mines in the city centre, I was told that when the builders were digging the foundations for Chesham House on Charter Row, they found coal and had to apply for a licence to extract it.

The current building seems to have been built in 1880 by the Smith Bros, ivory dealers, and from the outset was called the Albert Works. The Smiths originally had the ground floor and rented the rest out to the Brook Brothers who were silver platers. The Smith Brothers partnership had been dissolved in 1864 (Thomas and Ann, his sister in law, Ivory, Pearl and Tortoise-shell Cutters and Dealers based at the Washington Works). The Smith Brothers ivory dealing business continued at the Washington Works until late 1880 when they moved into their newly built premises on Cambridge Street. Just over a year later it suffered from a fire, The Independent referred to the premises as the Albert Works while mysteriously the Telegraph called them the Helmet Works. So was the inscribed keystone re-used from the building that was on the plot previously - Edward Linley, Sheep Shear Manufacturer? See the 1884 newspaper article below. John Linley, Master Cutler in 1797 was a scissorsmith based at Spring Street, so possibly can be eliminated. An advert for the sale of Linley's premises in 1857. It appears that the Smith Brothers of Washington Works bought the premises, as in April 1859 they advertised that "TO LET and may be entered upon on and after the 26th day of April next, the PREMISES situated on Coalpit-lane now in the occupation of Mr Edward Linley, Sheep Shear Manufacturer - For further Particulars inquire of SMITH BROTHERS, Washington Works" : A letter possibly written by William Topham, who made the sketches of old Coal Pit Lane: Edward Linley died aged 65 at St Mary's Road on 2nd December 1879.

Charcoal is fairly pure carbon. when wrought iron is heated with it the iron picks up carbon which can be "hammered in" to alloy it into steel, - an early form of steel making. Coal is very impure carbon. Yes the iron would pick up some of the carbon to make steel just the same but it would also pick up some of the impurities (coal tar and the like) One of the chief impurities in coal is sulphur. Burning coal is held responsible for acid rain as burning sulphur forms sulphur dioxide, the main gas responsible for acid rain. However, if sulphur gets into the iron then rather than forming a useful alloy like carbon it causes embrittlement of the metal causing it to snap and fracture more easily. For this reason I think coal would be avoided on a blacksmiths forge.

You just pipped me to it lysander Greenhill camp would have been the large Coal Aston Aerodrome which was situated off Dyche Lane and not far from the Norton Hotel.

Sorry, but the original airfield at Coal Aston is nowadays largely under the Jordanthorpe housing development... as I indicated. The site you are referring to is known as Coal Aston and, as you rightly stated, is actually nearer Apperknowle. The site is owned by a local farmer from whom, the last I heard, needed to give permission to land...and to move a few cows when required (?). Originally used by United Steels the landing strip was, some 30 years ago, suspected, for a time, of being used for smuggling and a local pub landlord was asked by Customs and Excise to report movements . Its current designation is EGCH and, as a matter of interest, I flew from the airstrip, by helicopter, around 1990 and, as far as I know, traffic is very light at best...but I left the area over 15 years ago...so it may have become busier. There are a number of Tiger Moths based at the Sheffield Aero Club in Netherthorpe( EGNF) and one regularly takes a paying passenger ( complete with leather flying jacket, helmet and goggles) over Derwent Dams... for a fee!

Sheffield had two landing sites during WW1...Redmires and Coal Aston. The latter had a detachment of the RNAS based there as well as A flightno.33 squadron RFC...tasked with nocturnal sorties as part of the anti-Zeppelin defences....but was mainly engaged in training. With the signing of the armistice in 1918 the aerodrome was used for the storage of aircraft and became No.2 ( Northern) Aircraft Depot. ( the first aircraft be stored hadn't flown in but had travelled by road and rail). Flying weeks were held throughout the 1920's and a Vickers Vimy ...the type which had successfully flown non-stop across the Atlantic made a flight to London in 95 minutes. Sir Alan Cobham and his "flying circus" paid several visits and it was he who following a letter from the Air Ministry suggesting to the Corporation that they should consider opening a civil airfield was tasked with the job of finding a suitable site. This he did and chose Coal Aston out of a list of nine possibilities. The Corporation made compulsory land purchases but in the end ( as so very often) gave up on the idea and the land was chosen to be the site of Sheffield's southern hospital. In the end, housing took priority.

Coal Aston Airport is still there and is used by light aircraft weekend fliers. There is even an old Tiger Moth that flies over my house towards the landing strip. It is right on the top above the road leading to Apperknowle, In fact Apperknowle would be a better description of the site than Coal Aston. A friend was considering removing a tree in his garden a couple of years ago but was asked not to because the pilots used it as an aid to finding the grass landing strip. See attached picture.
