Extract from: Reminiscences of old Sheffield, it's Street and its People. From letters Editor Robert Eadon Leader, from articles and letters in The Sheffield and Rotherham Independent 1872/3. Page 247-248. Wragg: ..... Near, in Milk Street, is Mr. Bowling's School, celebrated as being kept by the late Mr. J. H. Abraham, who, besides having the best school in the town, was of a mechanical turn of mind, for in 1822 he invented a magnetic apparatus for the protection of persons employed in dry grinding. Twiss: A testimonial was presented to him in that year, "in token of respect for his talents, and in acknowledgment of his services to an afflicted class of workmen by his ingenious invention;" and he also received the gold medal of the Society of Arts for the same invention. Johnson: Like many other things that are theoretically sound, the magnetic apparatus was practically useless. The great complaint against it was, I believe, that it was speedily choked with the fragments of metal attracted, and then the respiration of the workman was distressingly hindered. Holy Green House, The Moor, between Eldon Street and Prince Street. Home of Thomas Holy, who entertained John Wesley there. Mr. Abraham, principal of Milk St. Academy, resided here, also used for boarders and evening classes y01674 Thomas Holy, a member of a very old Sheffield family of manufacturers and merchants lived at Holy Green House which stood in a large garden, with a long green lawn in front, on Sheffield Moor, between Eldon Street and Prince Street. Mr Abraham, the Principal of the Milk Street Academy, had Holy Green House for boarders and evening classes. Mr Abraham also resided here, but left in 1839. It was afterwards used by the Sisters of Notre Dame prior to their premises in Convent Walk. In 1870 it was the Ecclesall Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
