Max Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hi does anyone have any information about a location known as Crooked Steps? It is shows as an ancestors address in the 1881 Census and listed as Harvest Lane. I've checked out Picture Sheffield but couldn't find any pics specifically listed as Crooked Steps. I know it was/is hilly around there so I'm guessing there literally were a set of crooked steps, it just seems odd to have as an address. Thanks in advance!

In the 1841 Rodgers directory the Crooked Steps are listed at 60 Pye Bank. Edit; 1837 listed 56 Pye Bank so possibly between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 The 1891 instructions for Census enumerators suggests that Crooked Steps was off Macro Street: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadbrewer Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 An 1848 newspaper report, a lady named Sarah Taylor and her son George are living at... Crooked Steps Row, Pye Bank, Bridgehouses.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Quite possibly no connection but here are what appear to be some winding steps off Pye Bank in 1889. There are other steps showing further down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
