Calvin72 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I've had this shared with me online - markings in the kerb opposite Endcliffe Crescent. LTM/STM 1910 - any thoughts? Never seen anything like it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysanderix Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Isn’t the arrow some sort of a sign of Government involvement…or should the arrow be the other way up?🤫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Could it be some sort of boundary marking? No idea what the letters stand for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Probably way off the mark (excuse the pun) with this idea. On the OS 1903 map (Sheet 294.10 Alan Godfrey Map Fulwood & Ranmoor) there is a line that borders Darwin Lane and comes across Tapton Park Road down through Tapton Grange and St. John's Church and down to the pavement on Fulwood Road.

Archaeo Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The 1905 OS map also shows an OS Trig Station directly opposite. Could it relate to that? the arrow also being the usual symbol associated with OS benchmarks. LTM and STM I can only guess at, but the TM could stand for ‘Trig Mark’. S could be ‘Surface’?

Edmund Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 In 1910 the tramway was made two-way working. Previously (see 1905 map above) the line reduced to a single line at the end of Endcliffe Crescent. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 That website says that the OS only put marks on walls or buildings. So that rules them out. It also implies that they are Stone Mason marks. Could the STM mean STone Mason? LTM - maybe the Quarry name? L and T might be the stone mason or masons and the M for Mason? The 1910 date would tie in with the construction of the new tramway and the stone being used in that. Another thought then is that ST is Sheffield Trams or Transport?
