Brunswick Road in Pitsmoor is known locally as Champs Hill. 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       ------------
