After visiting the wonderful Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield and realising the extent of child labour, I wondered if children had been used here in Sheffield in the steel works or other kinds of industry?

The freight traffic was mainly coal from the Wath on Dearn marshalling yard going to power stations etc. on the other side of the Pennines. One of the features of the D.C. system was that when the Locos of freight trains were on the long descent out of the tunnel and past the reservoirs towards Manchester the D.C. motors generated power back into the system. Thereby helping power the trains climbing the slope. Why did the locos need replacing when they ran on the Dutch railways after closure of the Woodhead route?

I was a member of the project team which aimed to unravel the mystery of Norton and Coal Aston’s lost airfield (see https://www.ukeconet.org/nortonflyinglegacy.html) for the report on the project which was managed by the Landscape Heritage Research Foundation with Heritage Lottery Fund support. As part of the project I reviewed several volumes of "The Aeroplane" magazine, and present here extracts from the period 1915-1918, which relate to Sheffield. Included at the end is “The Sir Joseph Jonas Case” – which I find fascinating. Extracts from The Aeroplane Vol 8 (Vol VIII) 1915 to Volume 15 (XV) 1918 FOR AIRCRAFT PARTS. Aircraft constructors will do well to note that the Sheffield-Simplex Motor Works, Ltd., of Tinsley, Sheffield, are prepared to assist in the acceleration of the output of aeroplanes in their sheet metal working and autogenous welding department. The high quality of Sheffield-Simplex productions need not be extolled here. It is sufficient to state that the firm are qualified to undertake the most exacting work. Undoubtedly a number of contractors who have undertaken to construct complete aeroplanes have "bitten off more than they can chew," and, if some of their intricate metal work were put out to competent firms, deliveries would be materially expedited. The Sheffield-Simplex Company are anxious to receive early inquiries, because, if encouragement is received, they are prepared to launch out on this specialised work on a large scale. The Aeroplane, Vol IX, p524, 27 October 1915 GERMANY – Communique issued on February 1st :— On the night of January 31st one of our naval airship squadrons dropped large quantities of explosives and incendiary bombs on the docks, harbour, and factories in and near Liverpool, on Birkenhead iron foundries and smelting furnaces, on Manchester factories, on smelting furnaces at Nottingham and Sheffield, and the great industrial works on the Humber and near Great Yarmouth. Everywhere marked effects were observed in gigantic explosions, and serious conflagrations. On the Humber a battery was also silenced. Our airships were heavily fired on from all directions, were not hit, and safely returned. The "Hamburger Nachrichten" of February 7th said :— "In England the people were living happily and free from care in the midst of war, while labourers were earning good money. Then the Zeppelins came out of the night and taught the haughty people that the war can overtake them anywhere and that it is bloody, terrible, and serious. England's industry to a considerable extent lies in ruins. England's own soil has been ploughed up by the mighty explosive shells of German air squadrons. "Over England herself during the night there was a fierce and hard-fought battle, a devastating air-battle fought on a front of many miles, and it was won by German airships. They returned proud and safe from the fierce battle. England can now contemplate the ruined centres of her industry and trade, to which she has been brought by the wicked policy of her statesmen." Aeroplane Editor commented: Probably quite as accurate as most of the stuff that appears in the English papers.—Ed. The Aeroplane, Vol X, p242, 9 February 1916 Recruits for R.F.C. Prospective recruits for the Royal Flying Corps in the Sheffield district should note that a R.F.C Special Recruiting Officer will be at the Recruiting Office, Corn Exchange, Sheffield, until the 15th inst. The recruiting and examining party will later visit Stockton-on-Tees, Carlisle, and Glasgow. There are other recruiting parties at present stationed at Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, and London, the addresses of which can be obtained from the general recruiting offices in those towns. The Aeroplane, Vol XI, p56 12July 1916 AN EXHIBITION OF WAR WORK. An important official exhibition was opened on Wednesday Sept. 26th, at the Mappin Art Gallery, Sheffield, where samples of women's work, in connection with munition making, together with photographs of the different processes, are on view. The exhibition is under the aegis of the Labour Supply Department of the Ministry of Munitions, and, as three sections are devoted to aircraft work, those interested in the manufacture of aeroplanes, engines and their parts, in the Sheffield district, are strongly recommended to pay a visit. In the engine section are photographs and specimens illustrating the various operations entailed in the manufacture of parts of Clerget, R.A.F., Beardmore, Gnome, and le Rhone engines details being given of the nature of the tool or tools employed, the limits of tolerance allowed, the time taken to perform the operations, and the manner of setting up the tools. In a similar way, sections of the exhibition are devoted to aircraft fittings (metal), and to aircraft woodwork, and samples are shown both of tinclips and wood members, many of which are made completely by women, and under female supervision. The exhibition will be open until October 9th, and it is hoped that it will be well attended, not only by woman munition workers and prospective workers, but by the employers of labour who are still sceptical as to delegating important and accurate work to woman workers. The Aeroplane, Vol XIII, p996 3 October 1917 AIRCRAFT STEELS. A catalogue issued by Messrs. Edgar Allen and Co., of Sheffield, gives particulars of nickel, nickel-chrome, chrome-vanadium, and other steels of their manufacture suitable for motorcar and aircraft purposes. In the case of motor-cars there is a table showing which variety is adapted for use in the different parts of the engine, transmission, axles, and chassis and steering gear, and for some parts alternative recommendations are given, the use of one variety being advised when it is desired to have the best, as for racing or high-class touring cars, while another, or sometimes two, is suggested when cost is important. For many of the steels details are given of their behaviour under tensile, torsion, and hardness tests, and also of the heat treatment to which they should be subjected. Another table summarises the physical characteristics of steels prepared in accordance with the specifications of the Engineering Standards Committee, the Air Board, etc., and shows the equivalence between these steels, which the company also make, and their own special products. The Aeroplane, Vol XIII, p1344 7 November 1917 THE W.R.A.Fs. AND FLYING. Apropos the statement made by the Minister of Labour at Sheffield on June 3rd, in regard to a Woman's Air Force, Maj. Baird, Parliamentary Secretary to the Air Ministry, stated in the lobby on June 4th that such a force was really in existence already, holding a position corresponding with that of the W.A.A.C.s. in relation to the Army. There was no reason whatever, he added, why women should not fly quite as well as men. Indeed, they performed the work assigned to them admirably, but there was, "of course, no idea of sending them to fight at the front. The intention rather was to release men for duties of a more arduous nature. The thing was not being done under any definite scheme, for which at present there was no necessity. Aeroplane Editor commented: [There is perhaps no reason why any W.R.A.F. should not do anything as well as Maj. Baird does it, but that is no reason for risking valuable aeroplanes in the care of women pilots when there are plenty of men to fly them.—Ed.] The Aeroplane, Vol XIV, p2148 12 June 1918 SIR JOSEPH JONAS' CASE. It is officially announced that the King has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom, to degrade Sir Joseph Jonas from the degree of Knight Bachelor. One assumes that his Majesty acted on the initiative of his political advisers, and not of his own knowledge of the facts. Sir Joseph Jonas was 'recently convicted at the Central Criminal Court, London, under the Official Secrets Act, 1911, of misdemeanour, in that he aided and abetted Charles Alfred Vernon unlawfully to obtain information respecting Vickers' rifle works at Crayford, Kent, which was calculated to be useful to an enemy. He was fined £2,000. A former Lord Mayor of Sheffield, he was 'chairman of the firm of Sir Joseph Jonas, Colver, and Co. (Limited), steel manufacturers, and has for many years occupied a leading position in Sheffield. Born at Bingen-on-the-Rhine in 1845, he came to this country when he was 21, and was naturalised in 1875. He was first German Consul in Sheffield, and during his Lord Mayoralty received from the Kaiser the Order of the Prussian Crown. He was knighted by King Edward in 1905. The last case of degradation from knighthood, and the first for very many years, was that of Roger Casement, who was hanged for high treason, and one cannot bring oneself to regard this as in any way an analogous case. Sir Joseph has been for many years admired and respected in Sheffield, where his personal generosity and his public spirit won for him a high place in the esteem of all classes. His business acumen and industry created a great business, which to-day gives employment to a great number of people, and provides this country with valuable war material. His offence was one which is committed constantly in time of peace by firms in fierce competition with one another, and it does not seem possible that it had any evil results. It was committed long before the war, and during that same period a British armament firm of the highest standing was actually supplying to the German Government quantities of their latest type machine-guns, which the War Office refused to buy for the British Army. These British guns have been used against British troops in this war, yet nobody is punished for letting them go abroad. Sir Joseph Jonas, despite all his good work, is heavily punished for an offence of far less magnitude. It is not surprising therefore to hear that the opinion in Sheffield is that the whole of Sir Joseph's case was brought up because he offended certain Government officials or their friends. The Aeroplane, Vol XV, p880 4 September 1918 The site: http://www.chrishobbs.com/sheffield/josephjonas.htm has further details of Sir Joseph Jonas.

In my 1893 Kelly's it states that Jessop Lane ran from Porter Street to Sylvester Street & Arundel Street and the inhabitants at that time were as follows: NORTH SIDE No 7 George Beeley Coal Dealer No 9 Francis Howard Bricklayer No 15 Thomas Shimmel Razor Blade Forger No 25 David Hall Coal Dealer No 39 Jim Gamble Carter SOUTH SIDE No 6 William Wrightson Tailor No 44 Thomas Brigham Firewood Dealer

Also found this that suggest the colliery was Low Manor pit: (from http://books.google.com/books?id=-UM1AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA423) In Sheffield, besides the coal consumed in large quantities by the steam engines, gas works, and for manufacturing purposes, the steel converters and melters use a vast amount of hard and soft coke, which is mostly prepared in the manner previously described, in situations near the pits a short distance from the town. The oldest pits are in a south-eastwardly direction from the town, namely, about the Manor, the Intake, and Birley—these places being respectively at distances of two, three, and four miles. The coals are mostly carried in one-horse carts, each containing about seven corves in measure, or one ton by weight; a surprising number of these vehicles being constantly thus employed on the Park road. Considerable quantities of coal and coke have of late years been brought into the town by canal on the north side, from the collieries about Rotherham, those on Attercliffe and Tinsley commons, and still more plentifully by the self acting waggon or tram road, previously described, from the Low Manor pit, belonging to a company who are understood to be realising immense profits by their various coal works in the neighbourhood, leased from the Duke of Norfolk. This company alone supplies to the town 159,000 tons of coal per annum.

I think with the council, it is a case of "do as I say, not as I do." Credit due though, they do take into consideration the age of the tree and whether or not it poses a risk to the public. I always think of meat stews when I read about Haggas Croft. I don't know if you are aware that Loxley falls within ancient Northumbria. The boundary is the River Don. The field system is the same as the Scots method of farming. But thinking about the coal and ganister that was extracted, I am sure the area was extremely rocky.

This is a great subject and there are other threads on SH about the Turnpike Roads: http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/7948-sheffield-turnpikes-in-the-18th-century/ The Sheffield Turnpikes and their Toll Bars would be a good research topic, as virtually all the roads still exist today (with some diversions made to accommodate modern roads) and so do many of their toll bar buildings, although faded into anonymity? To answer sheffmark's question above, I believe the Round House at Ringinglow also served as a Toll Bar for two Turnpikes (or was at least the confluence of two Turnpike Roads). It was at this point that the Turnpikes for Chapel-en-le-Frith and Buxton diverged, with the Chapel route continuing westward along Ringinglow Road, whilst the Buxton Route turned southward down Houndkirk Road: http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s11624&pos=1&action=zoom&id=14590 http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?&searchterms=round_house&action=search&keywords=all%3BCONTAINS%3B%25round_house%25%3B#rowNumber1 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3494509,-1.5630957,16z?hl=en The list of Sheffield Turnpike Roads (extracted from the thread posted by Bayleaf above): 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.

The black hills were the slag waste from Deep Pits coal pit on the other side of City road behind the Travellers Rest, the area of land between Brimmesfield Close and the quarry (where the Captive Queen was built just outside Norfolk park, which is currently a football field was once the "smouldering tip" as it was always hot underfoot and regularly caught fire due to marsh gas / firedamp (technically methane gas) from the old coal workings.

Yes Dave, their prefab could be reached by going round the back of the Arbourthorne Hotel and down a little grassy slope to a gate at the left hand side of the "field". You went through the iron gate and walked left across Errington Crescent at about 45 degrees - their surname was Thorpe. Their neighbour were the Duckers, John Ducker I recall. The Tingle's lived over the back of my cousins on a road I cannot recall the name of. Actually, my cousins prefab was quite nice, it even had a built in fridge in the kitchen, in fact I think they all did, reminded me of an American home for some reason. Their fire wasn't open but reminded me of a woodburner which had doors with little glass panes in but like most families then, they burned coal. I can remember the coal fire smoke from everyone's fire swirling down the road which characterised that area with the lower level of the prefab roofs. Their prefab was made uninhabitable in 1962 and so they were rehoused.My auntie Joyce was interviewed by Bill Grundy for Granada TV after their prefab's roof was damaged in the February 1962 gale. Shame really, there was a good community on Errington Crescent with much pride with both people's homes and their gardens.

I don't for one minute think that my father's animosity to Len was anything to do with politics. I think it was purely down to economics. I think most miners of that era would be very left wing. Coal in those pits was all won by hand with pick and shovel. The men worked in teams and any shortcomings by any individual would result in lower bonus payments, hence lower wages and less to spend on beer, fags and the gee-gees. If Len was a Bevin Boy he would have drawn the short straw in the National Service lottery and sent down the pit instead of serving in the armed forces. For someone of a literary bent, this must have come as a shock, and perhaps his performance on the coal face wasn't up to the expectations of the more experienced miners. His nick-name of Downhill Doherty perhaps gives a clue to his ability to keep an even level on the coal seam face. I had an older cousin who had to serve as a Bevin Boy and big strong lad as he was, he found it very hard going. HD

Arthur Murfin and his wife Agnes were at the Travellers Rest at the 1901 census (with son Frank). They were still there in 1911, with the addition of Beatrice Alice Kay (his step daughter). From the Sheffield Evening Telegraph 30th March 1912: (a correction regarding Arbourthorne Outcrop Coal Workings): "Mr Arthur Murfin of the Travellers Rest, Deep Pits, and the miners in the district, must be credited with the successful arrangements with the Duke of Norfolk's agent to work the seam of coal prior to its being closed. Arthur Murfin died in 1943, his wife died at the Travellers Rest in 1941

Having a taste for savoury foods I've always been fond of cream crackers with cheese. This last couple of years I've been disappointed to find that cream crackers of any brand are now baked to an insipid off-white colour instead of the rich golden brown that they used to be. They don't crunch any more but rather melt into slush under your molars. I used to enjoy the cheese flavoured "Chedders" but they too, seem to be baked to a Dulux Colour Chart shade of off/white magnolia and are so bland as to make you retch. My solution is to properly bake the crackers , ten at a time, under the grill to a rich golden brown. Don't tell anyone, the Food Police will be knocking at my door. It would appear that the "Food Police" have ruined things yet again by instructing manufacturers not to bake food as they used to in case it produces acrylamide, a substance that might, possibly, perhaps, cause cancer if administered to rodents in MASSIVE doses. We can't have suger in our drinks any more, must not drink more than one unit of alcohol every Preston Guild and chips apparently cause instant death. We don't eat ready meals, I eat lean red meat almost every day and consume quantities of full-fat cheese, my cholesterol levels continue to amaze my GP, coming in south of 4.5 every time. The local Lincolnshire sausage can be grilled to a nice deep chocolate brown and is very tasty if you ignore the green bits in it. For the first twenty years of my life, breakfast consisted of toast done with a long home-made toasting fork in front of a coal fire. The best efforts produced toast that varied across the slice from raw bread to carbonised charcoal. I might not live to be a hundred and twenty, (who would want to), but at least I will have enjoyed my food. hilldweller

Extract : http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/graphics/Learn...EDSOrgreave.htm Coal Mining Coal mining at Orgreave began in the 18th century, Dore House Colliery being sunk in 1795. This pit was later reopened by Richard Sorby of Rotherwood Hall, who sank the Orgreave Colliery in 1851. The pit was purchased by the Fence Colliery Co. in 1870 and production was halted in 1871-2 to allow major redevelopment. The colliery company was reformed as Rothervale Collieries Ltd in 1874. A new shaft was sunk to the Silkstone Seam in 1889-90. There was an underground connection with Treeton Colliery and there were railway connections with the Great Central and Midland railways. In 1918 Rothervale Collieries constructed a coking plant at Orgreave in an effort to secure the market for their coal. In the same year, Rothervale Collieries became part of United Steel Companies. The coke from the Orgreave plant was supplied to the blast furnaces at Scunthorpe while the gas produced during the coking was piped to the Steel, Peech and Tozer steelworks at Templeborough. When the coal mines were nationalised in 1947, the coking plant passed into the ownership of the United Coke and Chemical Co. Ltd. and eventually became part of British Steel. Orgreave Colliery closed in 1981.

My grandparents, Samuel and Abigail Brady lived on the corner of Mundella Place and Derbyshire Lane, before they died prior to WW2. Officially he was the caretaker but his wife was a matriarch, running a business (coal/greengroceries, etc) and I am sure she would have been very much involved in the school. My mother, Alice Brady, one of their children, were living with her husband Fred Roe,in the house on one of the blitz nights. My 3 year old brother was their only child at the time. The house, it is said, had a direct hit and was reduced to rubble. However, the 3 of them had been sheltering in next door's reinforced cellar. They had to be retrieved through the cellar grate. My father returned from barrage balloon duty to see the bedroom curtains in a tree! My Aunt who was in the cellar of her home at 233 Derbyshire lane, says that next door (where there was a garage, when I last visited UK from Sydney) also had a direct hit.

This article appeared in the 1884 Sheffield & Rotherham Independent. It trace`s the route taken by yourself along Cambridge Street or as it was in earlier times Coal Pit Lane.

As the closest to my home, I do use the Moorhole Garden Centre quite regularly and whilst I have always taken the opportunity whilst visiting, to look for some evidence of the site's former mining history, I for one, have never found anything at all, within the precincts of the garden centre itself, that might possibly have been present when the coal mine was in operation. There is of course, some evidence of the site's coal mining past, in the area immediately surrounding the garden centre, such as the capped shafts, as mentioned above, but as far as I can see, there is nothing that remains within the boundaries of the garden centre itself. If there is, then it must be well concealed.

The last time I passed this building someone was living in it but if anyone is interested here's a list of residents of Shrewsbury Road: Notice that the road name after Shrewsbury starts with a small "s" as it does for lane, street etc. I don't know when that practice stopped and capital letters were used. 1849 NO HOUSE NUMBERS Wilson Joseph Bousfield, clerk, 7 Shrewsbury road Goodlad William, clerk, 9 Shrewsbury road Dudley Guilford, clerk,11 Shrewsbury road Charles A.
