Remember running through that garden for a dare when I was about 10, but didn't see any News Boy's. They're new to me. Explanation please?

You can actually place in your minds eye this place ? That's great.

I can't explain and you know why, I am willing to try to give answers (1881 only) for specific addresses/surnames/occupations ...

I'm testing the SheffieldHistory Christmas Present to its members ... can't say much more till it's tested (I've run some questions past Tsavo as part of the Testing, ongoing)

... ooooh and until I get one of them SheffieldHistory T-Shirts lol

Any, VERY specific, 1881 census questions to SheffieldHistory@Gmail.com - the more specific the better; anyone called Webster living at Figtree Lane please - is a good question.

Can also try "How many seamstresses lived at The Swan with Two Necks" (the answer is two) in 1881 please RichardB, you great big hunk of a man ? (flattery will get you everywhere)

Loving the look of confusion I can imagine on Tsavo's face as I deliberately picked Heavygate area to post some info

Admin types, please contact Admin for SheffieldHistory@Gmail.com email-password-type-thingie, he will contact me when he's discovered he has forgotten it ;-)

Could well be it doesn't/didn't have a street number. Just thought a street number, at least of somewhere close-by, would let us see a list of named residents, maybe we could work something out from that. Could not find anything under Bank House Corner.

Now you've got me wondering. Standing at the top of Fir Street from Heavygate Road, was it on the left or right side of the street?

So, am I correct in saying that Tsavo remembers this house but cannot say anything about it because of something that's going to happen at Christmas :huh::huh: :unsure:

Left hand side Tsavo, do you remember the gents loos? the gate posts are just to the left and given the slope down, it must have been a real Bank House lol

Just had a quick look on Google Earth and it's all been completely re-developed. There are flats on the left and new build's at the far end. Google earth is your best bet.

Was also surprised to see new housing at the top of Greenhow Street as well. Tempus Fugit?

Bit off-topic but were you aware that Goodle Earth now has a flight simulator? - lets you fly a jet or Cessna over your favourite places.

When in Google Earth press

Ctrl-Alt-A

at the same time

You may already know this so sorry if you did
