johnm Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Here is a photo of my grandad Harry Watson Moore (4th from left) in teh Sir John Drake Lodge which according to an earlier entry on here met at teh Wellington Hotel, Grimesthorpe Road. Harry worked at Firth Browns as a plater/driller & lived at 305 Petre Street. Does anyone know exactly where teh Wellington Hotel was please? Also any other details about teh Lodge & its members? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The Wellington Inn, also called Hotel, and on the 1890 map below called the Duke of Wellington was on Brightside Lane (number 720) at the junction with Hawke Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 By 1926 until at least 1929, the 856 Lodge were meeting at the Grapes Inn, Gower Street (at the junction with Earsham Street). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbloke Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 According to my 1908 R.A.O.B. GLE Directory 856 Sir John Drake, Wellington Hotel, Grimesthorpe Road So they were there for quite a while. The lodge regalia was still in use in the 1990s, albeit on new collars, but I can't remember which lodge had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I wonder if it could be one of these, can anyone put names to them? 1911 Whites Edmunds George, beerhouse, 61 Grimesthorpe road, bottom corner of Danville Street opposite Tea Gardens hotel Ward Willie Leon, beerhouse, 62 Grimesthorpe road top corner Buckenham Road. Norton Simeon, beer house, 123 Grimesthorpe road top corner of Earldom Road. And this map possibly shows a public house on the opposite corner of Earldom road to number 123. I think/hope I have put them in the right place on this map. I think in my time in Sheffield that there was a Wellington near the Victoria in Grimesthorpe , but again that wouldn't have been on Grimesthorpe Road.

Edmund Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Edmunds George, beerhouse, 61 Grimesthorpe road, bottom corner of Danville Street opposite Tea Gardens hotel = Danville Inn / Hotel Ward Willie Leon, beerhouse, 62 Grimesthorpe road top corner Buckenham Road. = Buckenham or Buck Inn / Hotel Norton Simeon, beer house, 123 Grimesthorpe road top corner of Earldom Road. = Normanton Arms And this map possibly shows a public house on the opposite corner of Earldom road to number 123. = 152 Grimesthorpe Road, beer-off licence only, transferred in 1926 from Albert Roper to Edward Conroy. (photo on Picture Sheffield, in 1970, corner of Earldom Road, when it was the premises of Sydney Green, money lender) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 I have come to teh conclusion that it was in fact the Wellington Inn, Carlisle Rd which is just off Grimesthorpe Rd as I can't find any record of a Wellington Hotel on Grimesthorpe Rd.

Neil Simpson Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Great photograph. Never seen this before. My grandfather was part of the same Lodge, and is sat front right in the photo. George Moore (unsure if he was related to your Grandad?). My grandfather on my mothers side (Beryl Moore) was the landlord at The Grapes on Gower Street from the 1930s until retirement in 1966 (which ironically is also mentioned in this thread). Do you have any other related info’ or photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI Neil, My grandad Harry Watson Moore initially lived on Jamaica Street up to 1932 then moved to 309 Petre Street where he died on 12 Dec 1945 only a few months after the Buffs photo was taken I think in May 1945. I can't find a George Moore in his immediate family . Sadly that is the only Buffs photo I have which I think was taken to commemorate his "Exaltation to the Roll of Honour" on 1 May 1945. I also have a medal given to him on that occasion. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
