Guest Trefcon Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Had this postcard image sent to Sheffieldsoldier from Canada, date before early 1920's. Patients from Wharncliffe war hospital visited it I think for the grounds and the sporting facilities ? Mr E. Robinson owned it pre club days, gardener was a Mr Chester. Do you think that is Mr Robinson and Mr Chester in the image ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Kendall Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Is this the same E Robinson who lived at The Grange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 In 1939 Eliza Robinson, born 26 December 1862, was a retired Mental Officer living at 2 Shepperson Road, with Sarah E Robinson (born 1858 probably her sister). Probably a different "E.Robinson" from the owner (male) of the Wharncliffe hospital, quoted by Trefcon, though Eliza did work there in 1917 (and was commended for good work).

Stu_1981 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Have you seen this on the Wadsley Bridge Working Men's Club website? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4c27adda02cc00017c5f4a/t/5e9b1b56aef03710d33f3e25/1587223600358/A+souvenir+from+Wadsley+Bridge+W.M.C+1929 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_1981 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It does look like Mr Robinson in the photograph of The Grange (but the zoomed image is very low resolution): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Minor Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The Grange looks a bit different today with a flat roof extension to the front. The club was extended later and you can see part of the red brick building to the right which sounds as if it was added in 1929 on the club website.
