Derbyshire Lane Working Mens Club


Meersbrook

Recommended Posts

In the 1881 census there is a Elshaw b1840 in Sheffield who was a steward.

He lived with his wife on Derbyshire Ln.

On a online old-map.co.uk map of the area of 1882 there appears to be a Working Mens Club on Derbyshire Ln at Norton Woodseats.

I could be wrong, eyes are not what they used to be.

Could it be what is now Eyre and Baxters

Anybody any ideas

What appears to be the same building (229) at later dates is shown as a Sunday School on maps 1898 - 1923,

229 Derbyshire Lane, Odel Jim, caretaker, St. Pauls Sunday School (Kelly's 1925).

Then later as a club again with a bowling green on the front ...

That the place I'm thinking about.

Would there have been WMC's in 1881, If so would this be the oldest in Sheffield?

White's 1879.

A Working Men's Club was established in Derbyshire Lane in 1873,

having large and commodious premises, comprising library, concert room, billiard and reading rooms.

There is also a spacious bowling green and croquet lawn.

Mr. Matthew Clayton is steward.
