madannie77 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Beat me to it. Having decided it was not Summer Street in Sheffield I was working through likely places, but hadn't got to Huddersfield! Google Streetview from 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllisSearcher Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 So disappointed! Loads of my family members lived on Summer Street and whilst I’ve seen the one from 1919, I would have loved to see the rest of the Street and to try to catch a glimpse of Great Grandad’s beer house on the corner on Mushroom Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father was born at number 64. His grandparents ran the Dolphin beer house on the corner of Summer Street and Mushroom Lane. Brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles all lived in the area.

EllisSearcher Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Just now, Sheffield History said: I can't find any photos of the Dolphin - have you ever seen any? No, I'm guessing it was like a double fronted corner shop with beer on one side and groceries on the other. Walter and Harriet started out at no 19, ct 2 and worked their way up the street as they prospered. I intend to try to map out who lived where using census records and the street map, which was kindly shared with me on a previous post. What I’d really like is to buy a print of the map to work from. Walter was killed by a tram in 1909. I think he either had a stroke or was affected from years of being a grinder. He was a friend of William Broadhead. They used to drink together with my uncles in the Red House at the top of Solly Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
