Andrea B Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi I have a few relatives who lived on Green Street in the early 1900s but can't find out where it is/was. Am I right in thinking it is Balm Green?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one southside! Thanks. Just depends now on 'which one' Andrea's family lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilldweller Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 There were many street name changes when the area north of the River Loxley became part of Sheffield instead of the West Riding aound the turn of the end of the nineteenth century. This was because many of the street names were duplicated between Sheffield & the West Riding. Aparently it was causing the Royal Mail problems. Green Street (W,R.) became Greenock Street. Providence Road (W.R.) became Portsea Road and various other roads were renamed. Milden Road (W.R.) became Minto Road and I can remember an old cast iron road sign that stated Minto Road (formally Milden Road). There was a reminder of the previous boundary at the near end of Claywheels Lane where the West Riding had a road repair depot well within the new boundary. As a kid I remember the old steam road rollers left to cool down when the fire boxes were raked out in the 1950's. They made a range of clicks and bangs as they cooled down. hilldweller.
