Isaac BIRKS butcher & victualler Truelove's Gutter Gales & Martin 1787

and the obvious question ... where was Truelove's Gutter ? Where was it in modern day terms ?

All old Sheffielders have been nurtured in the firm and unquestioning belief that the Castle Street of the present represents the Truelove's Gutter of the past. It has recently been suggested, as a deduction drawn from the order in which the streets were arranged for the rounds of the rate collectors of I790, that Truelove's Gutter was not Castle Street but Waingate. But there are certain peculiarities in the old rate books which prevent this from being regarded as by any means a sure guide; and the evidence that definitely proves what we now call Castle Street to have been Truelove's Gutter is overwhelming. The testimony of old street lists, old Directories and old inhabitants, no less than what is known of the residences of such well- known citizens as the Staniforths who lived in the same place both when it was called Truelove's Gutter and when it had been re-christened Castle Street, all make it impossible to admit any claim on behalf of Waingate to the name. That has always been Waingate, and nothing else.

Sorry to drag this from way back but a definitive answer appears in this paragraph

from

"A DESCRIPTION OF THE TOWN OF SHEFFIELD

in my remembrance wrote in the year 1832 at the time the

Cholera was raging in Sheffield.

BY JOSEPH WOOLHOUSE."

"Where the Town Hall stands was some old Houses, built with

no regularity, from this corner to the corner of Castle Green. Castle

Sreet was called True Love Gutter, but from what I can't tell."

To obtain the naming of the road a "Mr. R. E. Leader wrote the notes upon Woolhouse's

"description"

this from those notes "Truelove's Gutter took its name from a resident family named Truelove."

I hope that sort of clears this up. Read the original it is really interesting.

RichardB wonders whether Dobberd and Neddy noticed that slight mistake-ette he he

Saw mine and corrected,

I transcribed the names in the Gales and Martin back in 05,

It does appear to me that for 1787 read 1781. Is that perhaps to

what you refer or am I missing the blindingly obvious as usual. :blink:

Nooooo, you're the 1781 man !!! I just posted all the 1787 ones and managed to miss off the first names - mind you, I did sort it out very quickly so no-one noticed that I'm an idiot ... :huh:
