(Chapter 10) "A glance at a map will show that this and the adjacent houses formed, roughly, an isosceles triangle, the upper part of Townhead Street, opposite St. James's Church, being the base, Pinfold Street and the western end of Campo Lane the two sides; the apex being the old Waterhouse, where these two streets met, at the bottom of Trippet Lane. On the other side of Campo Lane, there was another irregular block, so surrounded by thoroughfares as to be a sort of island. The Warm Hearthstone " infancy of the water supply in (he same neighbourhood the original " Waterhouse " of the Water Company. This stood in Pinfold Lane, at the acute angle where Campo Lane, above "The Warm Hearthstone," ran into Trippet Lane." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hobson's Choice - off Walkley Lane, between numbers 100 and 171 (where Lonsdale Road joins it now?). Hobsons Choice had 13 or 14 houses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Allen Sike House in 1851, next to the Allen Sike stream, was on Lodge Moor Road (now Redmires Road): Now mysteriously renamed Hallam Syke Farm (though arguably better than Allon Sick): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 1865 again Corker Walls and Cowms I'm just making these up now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Corker Walls is on Corker Lane near Bradfield. In the early 1860's William Crapper and his son George regularly won prizes at agricultural shows. In 1863 George married Ruth, the widow of Ebenezer Crapper of Hills Farm, Moorwood. By 1865 Henry, brother of George was selling up. The farm was rebuilt in the late 1930's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Richard J Webb Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm new to this site so my reply is a few years late. Crook Croft was mentioned, I came across this yesterday, on the 1853 Sheffield town map there's a Crook Croft Engine shown on South Street, Park, on the site of the Norfolk Brewery which was built there in the 1860s at the Granville Street junction. I guess this was a place called Crook Croft and not the engine manufacturer. I have an image of the map but I've not worked out how to upload it yet. Now uploaded!
