nobrien_999 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi, I've been a member for a while now but this is my first post. I'm doing some family history research, and in the 1901 census my great great Grandfather was living at number 30 Joiner Lane and further research reveals he was living at this address up until his death in 1909. However, Joiner Lane seems to have now disappeared. I have seen a map which shows Joiner Lane running parallel to Joiner Street, just off Nursery Street, but the map I've seen (50's I think), doesn't show any dwellings. I'm hoping to find any photos and/or maps of the area for the period when he was living there. Also, the 1911 census shows my great Grandfather living at 53 Kilton Street (another street which has now gone), and also shows him as employed at the Silver Plate Works. I looked into this and the only Silver Plate works I can in Sheffield at the time is Beaumont Bros on Joiner Lane! Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Edmund Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Number 30 Joiner Lane was a corner house (with Stanley Lane) - nearby was William Briggs' Wentworth Plate Works: possibly a photo here: PicSheffield Stanley Lane-Joiner Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Here's an 1890 map showing Kilton Street, with number 53, a back-to-back with number 3, coloured in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
