royh Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have been trying to find where Sharrow Bowling club was located. There was a Highfield Club House and bowling green at 132 London road ( later renumbered 220). Was the Highland Club a pub type club? Or was this the clubhouse for the Sharrow Bowling club? I have a beautiful silver water jug given to my grandfather Ralph Hadfield inscribed with his initials on one side and on the other side "Sharrow Bowling Clubs 1907". The 1903 ordnance survey map for Sheffield (eccesall road & sharrow) shows that there was a bowling club very close to the junction of ecclesall road and cemetery road. I think this must be where St Marys gate is now located. If so, the bowling club would have gone when the new road was constructed. Does anybody have any information about Sharrow Bowling Club please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Not much but it looks as if in 1934 they moved from wherever they had been before. This is from the history of Broomgrove Club In 1934 the Club was taken over by the Royal Artillery Association (RA)and shared by the Sharrow Bowling Club.

royh Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Many thanks for the map which I am sure is Sharrow Bowling club off Kenwood Bank. My grandfather lived for a while on Oakbrook Road after emigrating from Stockport. I can imagine him walking down Rustlings Road to Hunters Bar and then Sharrow Vale Road to the Bowling Club. Attached are two views of the silver (EPNS actually) water jug he won as a prize. Other than the engravings on each side there are no other markings.
