This has been an Unidentified House on the Picture Sheffield website for a number of years, can we solve it?

Another house that has been unidentified on Picture Sheffield website for nearly 20 years. It could be it was never built or was greatly altered before completion.

Unknown Semi-detached Houses. Previously identified as Moor Oakes Road, Broomhill, but no matching properties on that road. May 1994.

Unidentified House.

Not Middlewood Hall or Sharrow House. 

This one has puzzled me for nearly 20 years. Is it Sheffield?

Thought it might be in the Burngreave area as there are similar ones in that area.

Unidentified Houses. 

Information on back of picture reads, 'William Higgitt, father-in-law of Henry Chambers, Manager of Tinsley Park Colliery, c. 1910', However please see notes below.

Henry Chambers married Hephzibah Higgett in 1852. William (her father) lived at the Tinsley Park Colliery until he retired. Then in the 1861 census is recorded as living at Higgetts Houses on Attercliffe Common and in 1871 on Tinsley Road or Sheffield and Rotherham Road . He died in 1875 so the houses could be in this area. Alternatively the Woodhouse 1893-1894 Directory lists a William Higgitt, No 179 Sutherland Road.

Suggestion: Church Street, Ecclesfield.

There has been another suggestion it could be the bottom of Yew Lane. On the basis of this it is uncertain whether the date of 1910 is correct or what the connection with William Higgitt is.
