Ponytail Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 s04206 Water trough from the yard of the Tontine Inn, Haymarket. Trough was taken from the yard of the Tontine Hotel, 22 Old Haymarket which was an important Coaching Inn in the 1800's. Removed to Kenwood House, Sharrow c.1850 according to an article in the Edgar Allen Works and Sports magazine, c. 1928 (Sheffield City Archives: BC/19/2) Tontine Inn built 1785 and probably the largest public house in Sheffield at the time with 12,000 sq foot of banqueting hall on the 2nd floor. It had stabling for 60 horses and its own brewery; cottages for the footmen were built behind the Hotel. It was one of the three main coach departure centres for routes all over England; the others were The Angel, Snig Hill and The Kings Head, Change Alley. Demolished in 1851 to make way for the Old Norfolk Market Hall. Is the trough still there? Are/were people informed the history of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponytail Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Probably long since gone but good to record all the same: Broom Hall Spring, Spring Garden Well. An extract from: "Reminiscences of old Sheffield, it's streets and it's people." edited 1875 by R. E. Leader from articles and letters from The Sheffield and Rotherham Independent 1872/3. Page 153. "Our old friend's description of Broomhall Spring, which he remembered when he was about 10 years old — in 1791 — was very interesting. "I very well remember," said he, "coming with my father through the wood called Broomhall Spring. It extended from about Wilkinson Street to Broomhall Park. It was full of very fine oak trees, with very little underwood, and the turf was soft like that of a park. I remember very well seeing the trees and the grass, and the sunlight gleaming among them. Not long afterwards the wood was cut down. The Government was then wanting a great deal of oak timber for ship-building, and the trees in Broomhall Spring were sold for that purpose. The roots were dug up, and the land turned into the gardens of which we have been speaking."The inscription on the stone over the trough was still there up to 1836. It ran: — "Spring Garden Well. To the public use, by the Rev. James Wilkinson and Philip Gell, Esq. Freely take — freely communicate — thank God" its site is now enclosed in the garden of the house at the corner of Gell Street and Conway Street." What is there now on that corner?

Does anyone else think this could be one? its in the grounds of a very very old house, and just below a spring that used to feed into here, its been a private home for centuries, current owners - or previous owners probably wouldn't have allowed people to wonder around the grounds.... \ There are steps down to a very nicely built, dry laid arch. on the other side of this wall is now a garage, but an amazing stone arch of some age also in the back wall... The mostly recent garage has other elements in the walls that have been re-used from what looks like a religious building of some sort. I've found evidence on a 1840 map that there was indeed once a house built over this spot... is this the missing well of Fulwood? Hi Simon. Brilliant photo's, it is indeed an amazing find, though the FULWOOD SPA, was not a Holy Well, it was just supposed to have a constant temperature, and have Health Giving Properties. This is a beautiful structure, though rather ornate and heavy duty. But who knows?? These structures are at FULWOOD HALL. The cross and windows are part of the now garage, and the steps went up to an upper room which was granted a licence for Religious Ceremonies, many years ago. The arch, is behind the garage, and apparently, the original building on the site would have gone down further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
