Green Oaks Inn, 1841 Census

Not quite Sheffield centre, but Totley, Derbyshire, image from 1841 census:

Got me beat with both of them. Well found and evidence too; shame about no name for the second one, but, outlying districts may be the way of the future, or indeed the past ...

Greenoak House, Baslow Road, Totley

At the time of the photographs (about 1900), rented from Ebenezer Hall of Abbeydale Park, by Athol Capron and family. The house was formerly a Farm and Greenoak Inn. Converted and extended into a family residence in the late c19th. 

See 'Totley District in Old Photographs', by Brian Edwards, Cat. No. 942.74 S.

Mickley Lane, Totley, with a view of the buildings on Baslow Road including Greenoak House (the former Greenoak Inn). The smaller part in the middle was the original Greenoak Inn, built 1812. The extension on the right was added much later when it became Greenoak House. The part on the left was added early 1900's.

The family of Athol Capron (consisting of his wife, 4 children and donkey) moved into Greenoak House in 1899, paying £90 p.a. rent to Ebenezer Hall of Abbeydale Park.

This map may help to identify the other public house recorded on the 1841 Census.

Copied from the Ordnance Survey by George Sampson and Son, Beauchief Abbey, Sheffield.

Marked; Oldhay Brook, Akley Bank, Hillfoot [Hill Foot], Crown Inn, Totley, Cross Scythes Hotel, The Folds, Fleur de Lys, Greenoak House, Greenoak T.P. [?Turnpike] [Green Oak Road], Totley Brook, Grove Cottage, Grove Lodge, quarry, mill pond, Rolling Mill, Clay Wood, Abbey Dale Road [Abbeydale Road], River Sheaf, sluice, Westview Cottage, fish pond, Brinkburn Grange, Poynton Wood, and Woodlands [house] Abbeydale Road.

 

It is possible it could be the "Crown Inn" "Cross Scythes" "Fleur de Lis"  or one of the cottages around the Rolling Mill. Viewing the pages either side of the entry and the "enumerators walk" would probably be helpful. Perhaps the 1851 Census would help further.
