Sheffield Col Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Brunswick Road in Pitsmoor is known locally as Champs Hill. Can any one tell my the origin of this name ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any one tell my the origin of this name ? I can't verify this because I am not sure where I read it but seem to remember that it was something to do with a cannon being sited there with the object of firing on Sheffield Castle, possibly in the civil war. EDIT I should have known it was this site and a post by VicRichardson which has a link to Picture Sheffield with a short explanation ------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
