Calvin72 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 At the top of Sharrow Vale Rd, just before the roundabout with Cemetery Rd and Psalter Lane, there are several old buildings on both sides of the road. They look to pre-date everything around them and i wonder what they are / were? I don't have a decent picture but Street View will be clear as to what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kat Brown Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The building on the left was the snuff mill, if I remember write the building on the right are old cottages, if you want more info I can find out writings I did of that area.

Edmund Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Assuming the numbering didn't change, 10 Psalter lane backs onto Sharrowvale road In 1886 Henry Thompson (a seconder for a candidate in the general election), was living there. In 1896 number 10 was occupied by Charles and Mary Ann Hodgkinson (the Independent published a report of the death of their young son Bernard, scalded by a bucket of hot water). Mr.C.H. Hodgkinson was a manager at Messrs. G. and H. Hall, Tool Manufacturers, Hereford street. 10 Psalter Lane was the home address of Albert Harland, Managing Director of J & H Wilson Snuff Manufacturers in 1905 and 1911 ,in Whites Directory, and Kellys directory in 1925. Possibly there was a connection with Harland Road, on the other side of the General Cemetery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old rider Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 1863 map on picture Sheffield www.picturesheffield.com/maps.php?file=031 shows what appears to be a large house called Westbrook then the long narrow building with Westbrook Mill behind it. The footpath leading off Frog Walk is also shown behind Westbrook Mill. I was looking at this map to try to identify Cemetery Cottage where an ancestor lived in 1851 but could not find it.

I went past earlier and the cottage has a sign over the front door (not datestone) that says 'Sharrow Green Cottage 1795'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
