Something For The Weekend, Sir ?

A short series (four) of images of something or other, your task, should you choose to accept it, is to tell me - where, what they are and to provide whatever other information you can - dates, inhabitants, build/demolish dates, what is currently there etc etc.

This message will probably not self-destruct - which is kind of disappointing :P

"Something for the weekend" Richard?

Is this another of your musical references?

This time a track by the Divine Comedy

Sharrow Moor School.

"Sharrow Moor School in Bigod Street, afterwards changed to Bagshot Street.

On it was a stone inscribed with the date 1668,

thus claiming equal distinction in point of years with the Grammar School,

the Free Writing School, and others.

It was enlarged in 1769. Another stone in the building bore those figures,

and it was at that time the only school in the Bierlow of Ecclesall with the exception of that at Broad Oak.

It was very solidly built; its walls were two feet thick, its windows tiny,

and everything betokened great age; its playground, as remembered, was at one time part of a

large orchard, but the masters of those days found it essential that the trees

should be cut down. The brothers Wilson, who in later years were destined to be

such princely benefactors to the Church, were educated at this school."

This is Washford Bridge, it's a year I'm after.

Sometime after 1672! :P

Wiki :

Washford Bridge

This carries the A6178 Attercliffe Road over the River Don. Washford or Westforth bridge, at the Sheffield end of Attercliffe, was first recorded in a will of 1535. It was rebuilt in wood in 1608 and 1647, then in stone in 1672, 1789 and 1794.[68] In 1940 an air raid badly damaged Washford Bridge and the adjoining pub, The Bridge.

But it doesn't look like this one!

From Picture Sheffield & therefore post 1794 - I'd guess mid c.1850
