Gabriel Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Does anybody have any info or pictures regarding Oxford Mews? It was occupied by Joseph Tomlinson & Sons Ltd. and was located on the corner of Hanover Street and Ecclesall Road. I’m unsure as to where it was located. I’m wondering if anybody can help me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Whites 1901 directory has: 162 Moore Street - Tomlinson Joseph & Sons Lim. Cab proprietors 162 is listed as the last property on Moore Street before the junction with Ecclesall Road. Prior to the end of the 19th century Moore STreet was known as Oxford Road AN 1890 map (from old-maps.co.uk. Ecclesall Road is the road across the bottom of the map, Hanover Street is coming down from the top and Oxford Road is heading off to the top right of the map. Possibly somewhere in the vicinity of the marker was Oxford Mews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Typical that neither of the two Whites I looked at (1901 and 1911) mentions Oxford Mews in the street by street listing. Next time perhaps I should look in the alphabetical listing, where it is mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I would say it is the building seen here. "Horse drawn carriage belonging to Joseph Tomlinson and Sons on Moore Street" https://www.picturesheffield.com/p00308 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Looks like the same building (look at windows), but appears to have been knocked about a bit? "Moore Street at junction of Hanover Street, from Ecclesall Road, No 152, Moore Street, Burgon and Son Ltd., Grocers " https://www.picturesheffield.com/t00421 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I was thinking the same when I saw that one from Picture Sheffield. A couple of post WW2 shots from Britain from Above, showing the neighbouring buildings as well 1947 1952 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ahh yes. That definitely is Oxford Mews because in a directory I read, 287 Hanover Street, which has been written on the picture from Picturesheffield above. Thank you both so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 In 1898, Tomlinson’s acquired 19 dwelling houses, the front ones numbered 43 to 67, Ecclesall Road, with the stabling, shoeing forges, riding school, carriage building works and other buildings behind. The property numbered 1 was valued back in 1898 at £8,615 (£1,128,126.91 in today’s money) and all the remaining properties were purchased for £11,721 (£1,534,912.10 in today’s money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
