duckweed Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'm trying to find out where the DAW was in Sheffield. The witness account says "On the night in question went with a party of dragoons towards Crook's moor. There is a place there called the Daw. Three men were found there. They ran off down the lane, and two of them got over the wall. The third ran on down the causeway." So was it an area, a pub or similar? The only thought I had was that could be Dawes wine shop in Meadow Street. But would they call it the Daw? Can't find a pub called the Daw or Jackdaw. So any ideas?

Edmund Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I wonder how clear the text is - could it be Dam, there were several to choose from in that area? It was not unknown for typesetters to insert letters upside-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckweed Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 No it is very clear in the Newpaper article as the Daw. the dams are mentioned in other evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
