Sheffield History Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We have been set a challenge to try and find out information on Newton Square in Sheffield City Centre Newton Square was maybe down the bottom of the moor somewhere around St Marys Church? Can anyone help with information or photos etc please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unrecordings Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I've found a reference 'next to Arundal (sic) Street' https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?uidh=000&rank=1&new=1&so=3&msT=1&gsln=Holdall&gss=angs-d&MSAV=1&cp=0&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&db=mediaphotopublic&sbo=t&gsbco=Sweden&gl=&gst=&hc=50&noredir=true Can't find it on the NLC online maps though (yet...) ..and... Good old Google maps lists this as Newton Lane https://goo.gl/maps/E6Uo51ZwS7s Think it might have been built on by the 1880s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Newton Square is one of the courts showing on the map as its listed along with Newton Lane off Arundel Street, its only mentioned as this: Newton square and lane, Arundel Street: in the 1862 Whites Directory and I cant find it in the 1825,1833, 1849, 1856, 1879, 1893, 1901,1905 or the 1911 even Newton Lane is never listed with residents.
