This bridge or tramway brought coal into the depot from the Nunnery Colliery, I managed to find the tunnel entrance on Worthing Rd, an abutmentto the bridge on the canal tow path across from the pallet yard and a stone pier on Effingham Rd opposite the gate to the pallet yard. Would welcome any info or pics of the structure.

Looking at the pictures on picture Sheffield, I found a few that piqued my curiosity. There is a picture of the Great Yorkshire show, Coal Aston Aerodrome ( http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=u03685 ), showing a large area, apparently nothing like, or near the place at the top of Dyche lane. There are some other aerial photos of the site, and the implication ( http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s15316 ) is that it occupied space to the South East of the Norton Hotel, around what is now Gilders and Meadowhead college, and not what I would call Coal Aston at all. Another photo shows a Vickers Vimy there - and a search then turned up this: http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/vie...20-%201020.html Does anyone know more about: The Aerodrome - it appears to still have had some purpose in 1920 ( http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written...aston-aerodrome ), it wasn't a small site and can't have been secret, so why don't we know more? or The visit of these flight pioneers to Sheffield?

The railways goods/coal yard or depot on Queen's Road was the home of, or base for, a number of well-known Sheffield coal merchants up to sometime in the late 1950s or early 60s. I can remember W H Hewitt's, Ward & Longbottom's (?), etc. It was a very busy place at one time. Does anyone have any memories of the place? I have searched for some pictures, showing the coal waggons, the coal lorries and the row of coal merchants' offices, but I have never found one. The entrance faced across to Duchess Road (?).

I would be interested to learn something about the coal riots of around 1893, especially those that were connected with the Newton Chambers Collieries in the Chapeltown/High Green area. I especially wonder if the events led to a lot of miners leaving the district and having to move to other pits.

I was doing a bit of family history research and found that in 1851 my great-great-grandfather, William Green, was a coal dealer in Netherthorpe. I took this to mean that he would have used a horse and dray to carry bags of coal from one of the Sheffield collieries to houses in his trading area. It struck me that, since Sheffield, like Rome, is built on seven hills, the poor old horse would have had a bugger of a job once it got away from the level suburbs by the Don. I can vaguely remember "coal holes" and chutes going from the pavement to the cellar, but I can't remember much about horse-drawn stuff (except for the rag-and-bone man). I'd be interested in comments from anyone else who has looked into the subject.

Came across this list on this site : http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancest...0.htm#YORKSHIRE Not sure if it has been posted before.

Can someone tell me if there is a list of Coal Miner Deaths for the period 1860 to 1890 for the mines in and around Sheffield. One Tom Mellor was a Coal Miner in 1881 and then disappears. Regards Rick
