RichardB Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Building a nice picture of this building though ... Hillsorough Cottage - awaiting any evidence, nursery is the only clue so far Old Co-op buildings, near Dixon Street - possible ? Near Lennox Road, Church building nearby (Hillsborough Trinity) Parkside Road building - part of School, has had its Centenary, unlikely. Any other possible buildings anyone please ? I've walked a "mental" route around the entire district; mental as in "in my head" not mental as in Middlewood Road, via Romford High Street ! Building presumably needs to be able to receive guests by vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thank you, it is 163-165 that would be of interest from maybe 40 years ago. Sort of remember it looking like maybe it was a working premises, builders/plumbers that kind of thing. OS Map #196_crop.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've walked a "mental" route around the entire district; mental as in "in my head" not mental as in Middlewood Road, via Romford High Street ! Building presumably needs to be able to receive guests by vehicle. If we are looking for a building that had been used as a morgue at some time, could we be talking about a temporary morgue used at the time of the Sheffield flood of 1864 ? I know that pubs and chapels were used as temporary morgues including the little chapel/sally army hall/garage opposite St. Polycarps and the original Yew Tree Inn. Perhaps someone has a copy of the Pawson & Brailsford book about the flood which goes into great detail, if I remember, about where the dead were laid for identification. There was certainly great loss of life around Owlerton including some at the living quarters of the Barracks. Now there's a thought, the Barracks had a hospital and probably a morgue. Time to get the maps out. Incidently in 1936 a Mr. Lehane, horticultural advisor was living in Hillsborough Cottage and his widow was still there in 1942. In 1936 the building next door was a branch of Blanchards, but was a drapery dept of the B & C Co-op by 1942. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilldweller Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Date stone Well it was certainly built at the time of the Great Sheffield Flood. Perhaps it had some official function in those days, so I suppose it could have been used as a morgue. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Census returns from 1861 through to 1911, all the same family. The street numbering changes a couple of times and Milner Road is now Minto Road. It would be surprising if they'd allowed its use for storing bodies during this time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
