Suggest a Census Search for Greystones Cottages. Hi ponytail. did that. Came up with Greystones, Highgate, Tinsley. 1880 to 1968 but the Tinsley property was nothing like this at all, and it was lately used as a Child Welfare Clinic. My friend who knows the Greystones area from when she was younger, remembers an old cottage very similar from years ago, but can't be positive where. Note! the backs of tall large houses obviously on a road, in the background between the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartshome Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 To Archaeo. Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU, to you for the information on the buildings. The info has solved the mysteries of many hours searching for these properties, that never came to light for some reason. It is very much appreciated. Regards Heartshome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marked in yellow on this map (it's katy cornered with the road, looks to be part of the Cliffe House estate. There is a distinctive line horizontally across the gable end (guttering?), see also Cliffe House Farm, on left, behind trees and this painting (though chimney on gable end is a discrepancy): Replaced by this house (yellow arrow Britain From Above) by 1950: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartshome Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hi Edmund. I get where your coming from, but it isn't this one. Go to Picture Sheffield y00398 for a Full Photo of the same house which looks like brick and it does have the chimney on the end. Ok regards Heartshome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unidentified Greystones Cottages appears to be a larger premise than the one you've very helpfully marked in yellow. (Unless there is another property in close proximity) The entrance to a property and the street light pose another problem. In the photograph there is an entrance from the road to the right with a gas lamp outside. On the map, the entrance is up a small "drive" and a sharp right into the property from the road. Looking at the map I've considered an entrance to The Grange, marked in red. I'm open to any suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Regarding "Greystones Cottages." The Grange, Greystones Road. https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s29376&pos=4&action=zoom&id=53670 The Grange is a large 3 storey building; very faintly the background of the "Greystones Cottage" there is a larger building. Just a possibility I'm throwing into the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartshome Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hi Ponytail. If it was on this side of the road here, the hill would be going steeply down to the left. Where the newer properties are now down from the pub. The access drive to the rear with a name plate on the wall saying Greystones Grange, is between 129A & 129B. There is still part of a high stone wall attached to the side of 129A Regards H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found where the family had lived from first coming to Sheffield, till his death and his son's. None of the addresses were Yew Lane. Hello Heartshome. My great, great grandfather is William Higgitt of Sheffield. I have been looking for information about William Higgitt in Sheffield for a long time. I would be extremely grateful if you could share the results of your 3-month study on William Higgitt. Please tell me how I might be able to communicate with you in some way other than this open, public board. I would try to compensate you for your time and knowledge, if you can provide it. Hope to hear from you soon. -Sincerely, RH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponytail Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Unidentified House, supposed to be at Crookes, however maps of the 1900s do not show houses matching the architecture of this building. It was suggested it was near the slaughter houses. s08010 w00303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartshome Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 There was one slaughter house at 119 Crookes, behind the lock-up butchers shop, which had a holding pen at the side of it. I have a strong suspicion, this isn't Crookes! But it would be a great help IF the family could be identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a strong suspicion, this isn't Crookes! But it would be a great help IF the family could be identified. No identity to the family, it's one of those Picture Sheffield images unidentified for a number of years. Image s08010 indicates it was in the Main collection mounted on card. Any information with the image would have been recorded with the image when it was mounted and catalogued. Image w00303 indicates the image was taken from a negative, probably a slide. Looking at the sequence before and after w00303 it doesn't appear to come from family donations, or any particular area, probably random slides in the collection, scanned in an order for ease of processing onto Picture Sheffield. w00298, Dore Moor Inn; w00299, Whirlow Bridge Inn; w00300, Cross Scythes Hotel; w00301 St. Paul's Church prior to construction of Town Hall; w00302, Cathedral. w00304, Leather Mill Wheel, Whiteley Woods; w00305, St. Mary's, Ecclesfield; w00306, Queen Victoria opening of Townhall; w00307, Queen V opening of Town Hall; w00308, Queen V opening of Town Hall.

Heartshome Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 YES! have researched all of these 'unidentified' during the past 5 years. Was so grateful to Arch, who found the 'others' that weren't in Sheffield. I suspect! the same could be case here! The answer as to their whereabouts must be somewhere!
