If you squint, and have the "True Faith" of a Pub-hunter you can make out the Golden Ball on this photo, at the right hand side. It appears to have a Church tower, but that is just St James trying to hide ! Picture taken circa 1895. The tall gable end (Centre) is part of the Burns Public House.

The buildings lower down the hill on the left were part of The Crofts, demolished 1898. Townhead Street flats replaced these buildings; the rents were high for the people that used to live here (3/- to 6/- per week) - the very young, Do we have young here ? - better ask how much that is in modern money !!!

Interior of the pub (1937-ish), left Tom Ward (Barman), right Mr T. W. Brookes (Landlord)

Tom Ward did become Landlord, year unknown :

Neddy, does any of this thread make any sense to you, at all ?

To me, it's 14 Pubs at various addresses all with the same name, actual Street address adjusted to suit< I was just pleased to pick one out on an old photo. Seem to remember one in the 70's, modern, 'orrible...

Still confused !

I've been following the Hitchen family, and everything about them has been a struggle

there were only a few in Sheffield and most were missed off census, they are on the wife's side

I think the address thing for 6 Townhead --10 Townhead may have come about from the widening

of Campo Lane,

to add to the confusion is the Golden ball having an address on Campo Lane, and Townhead Street, corner plot,

looks like the enumerator took the pub residents and forgot the living quarters next door

Even the address for

1872-3 ELECTORAL ROLL

THOMAS HITCHEN 69 CAMPO LANE is missing from census

as another aside Thomas Hitchen took the Grey Horse when the address was Blast Lane, later Stoke Street :rolleyes:

Then from information from andyc on this site moved back to 26 Campo Lane, THE BALL

and you think you are confused. lol

From Directory & Topography of Sheffield, 1862

Shaw Joshua, vict., Burns Tavern, 10, Townhead Street.

Are the Burns Tavern and the Golden Ball one and the same?

Joshua was my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, interestingly on all census returns, he puts himself down as a cutler and not an inn keeper. His daughter Mary Ann Atkin went on to keep the Victoria Inn on St.Philips Road and his son William kept the Rawsons Arms Hotel on Tenter Street and another 653-657 London Road.

Welcome to the Site; that is a difficult question !

Bear with me; will try to post something tomorrow and we can all try to "unpick" the answer.

[i think the Ball is in the middle and the Burn's the one with the prominent chimneys - RichardB]

-----------------------------------------------------------

1910's Campo Lane, No 26, Ball Inn on left

http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s14072

1920's Campo Lane, No 30, Campo Chambers (former Paradise Inn), No 26, Ball Inn

http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s14073

Building next door has a sign Moved to 98 West Street, so both buildings about to be demolished; the one next to the boozer has gone

Anyone remember the "Shrimp Man" coming in with his basket full of individual servings of seafood

Just been reading all the info' on the Golden Ball and yes, I remember the Shrimp Man. I think he also went to the pub on Church Street, The Stonehouse. I can honestly say that I was never once ill after eating his food lol

Joshua Shaw is also my g.g.g.grandfather. In 1851 when he lived at 3 Sims Croft, although he put his occupation as table blade maker, he ran a beer house from the premises.
