Heartshome Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 1911 directory, has 2 shops listed in the name of Church, which were on steep hills. John Church - 157 Channing Street, Walkley William James Church - 148 Grammar Street, ( near Langsett Road ) Wondered if it was either of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is number148 Grammar Street at a later date, it does not appear to be the same shop, so it could well be 157 Channing Street, Walkley. https://www.picturesheffield.com/Ref_No_s16354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop in the top picture has an on licence!) Comment withdrawn - apologies - spent a couple of hours hunting then spotted the "Not to be ...".

Stu_1981 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Also found this in the Beer Retailers thread: Walter Church Grocer and Beer Retailer 208 South Rd., Walkley Kelly's 1893 Forgive my ignorance, but where would this have been? I can't find a 208 South Road on Google maps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Heartshome I still can't find a number 208 South Road. Where South Road starts (at the junction with Howard Road) it seems to start from number ~240. I'm totally confused! EDIT: The address is wrong. Found a Walter Church at 272 South Road that had a beer off licence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_1981 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 This is 272 South Road, which doesn't match the photo at start of thread. EDIT: I had also missed @Heartshome's clever observation that the shop was on a steep hill due to the slope of the ground and the step down of the terrace roof! Apologies!
