Guest busy lizzy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Has anyone any information on how these areas got their names? I am very interested in this because one of my relatives married a Moorfoot in the 1870s and they were both farmers and lived and worked in the area where The Moor is now I would love any information available on this and any photos, documents or Census Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Until 1922 The Moor was called South Street, being the main route south out of the town. The name was changed to avoid confusion with the other South Street in the Park district. The new name was chosen because the road crossed what was originally an open area called Little Sheffield Moor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
