Guest alexander Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Does anyone know why Minto road in Hillsborough was renamed from Milner road and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It's very good question, and I've currently no idea - which is a shame since I lived on Dykes Hall Road for a number of years - approximately 1970-1977 (next Road on for those that don't know the area).

RichardB Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Complete quess - Hillsborough developed, there was a Milner Road elsewhere and it got renamed for that reason ... guess only, don't take this as any kind of definitive statement ... 1925 Directory Steve ?? and before/later is possible.

SteveHB Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Gilbert Elliot Murray Kynynmound,1st Earl of Minto (1751 - 1814), Scottish diplomat. Wiki Wonder if he invented the Murray Mint <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Not as unlikely as it may sound, given the relatively close proximity of Garry Road (a woofer-inspired Road name). Wonder where 'Minto' came from, sounds like a dogs name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Minto surname - very heavy bias towards Consett - Annfield Plain - Willington - Eighton Banks - all Durham - just for information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Minto Road came from Lord Minto Governor-General British India. Lord Minto served in British India as the Governor-General from 1905. He was born in London on 9 July 1845, studied at Cambridge and later served in the Scottish Guards. Lord Minto also worked as a newspaper correspondent in Spain and Turkey from 1874 to 1877. Later, he went to Canada where he worked as military secretary. From 1898 to 1905, he was the Governor-General of Canada and in November 1905, he was transferred to British India as Viceroy to succeed Lord Curzon who had resigned. Lord Minto was a Tory and an aristocrat. He had no administrative experience. Just for information Making absolutely no claims about this link - just for discussion. Singapore ??

Here's spooky for you Richard - according to Peter Harvey - Milner Road was named after William Pashley Milner , solicitor who lived at Dykes Hall. Renamed correctly after Earl of Minto in 1903.

RichardB Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'll agree; just something I found, nothing to indicate it's correct. Could be an error. Herbert Maddocks, watchman, 62 Milner Road, Hillsborough. In the 1901 directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There are school admissions from Milner Road up to September 1903 (listed at SheffieldIndexers). I found two property sale notices in the Telegraph from April 1904 with the street described as 'Minto Road (late Milner Road)' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
