Calvin72 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Looks very much like Dam Lane is the current Northumberland Road and that Conduit Road is on the site of Webb Piece Walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldbloke Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Houses also crept down from Crookes as far as Hoole Road, this area being known as Mount Pisgah, a pun on the biblical reference of Moses viewing the holy land from there, since all the land that could be seen to the east was owned by the Holy family.

Variously described as "Glossop Road", "Fulwood Road" Palestine Place appears to have been located at, or around, Parkers Road, around 184 - 186 Whitham Road ... When I'm done looking, I'll start a post for Palestine Place with some evidence to back this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palestine Place in 1838: and in 1851: Interesting to see that the current Crookes Road was just a footpath and the main road up to Crookes was Parkers Road: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Shaw's Close or Oxley Croft - where might that have been (first quarter 1700's) ? May, or may not have been asked before; I've been 10 years on this site). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May, or may not have been asked before; I've been 10 years on this site). The Peace Gardens, which in 1720 was the building site for the new St Paul's Church. In 1725 Robert Downes, a goldsmith who provided the land for the construction of the new church, sold a piece of Oxley Croft which was probably not required for the church, to Edward Cheney for £95 7s 6d. Downes sowed the seeds of the church's later problems by retaining the right to appoint the minister as a condition for the provision of the land. Further information on the church is here: St Pauls - Chis Hobbs site The Sheffield Archives have a copy of a deed ( PR139/F1/2/1a) giving details by which Robert Downes of Sheffield, goldsmith, and Joseph Downes of Stockport, clerk, grant authority to trustees to build new Chapel-of-Ease on land known as Shaw’s Close or Oxley Croft. It recites how: ‘Robert Downes out of his pious zeal for carrying on that good and charitable work had subscribed and served one thousand pounds for the building of such structure and had settled thirty pounds per annum or thereabouts for the perpetual use of a perpetual minister or preacher…’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 There is a query about Stanton Broom Glossop Road on pp18-19 of this thread (dates from 2011)... This is the 1855 OS map. Stanton Broom was a terrace of c16 houses, here shown as one block, at the junction with Clarkehouse Road. The same terrace unnamed in 1894 (25" map) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember residents walking up from the bus turning point just down the road from the building at the end of what would have been a working day.

Help with a definition of the districts that is; not my mind Feel free to add your own, Parkwood Springs I could point at, but I don't really, really know ... I did my first teaching practice at Parkwood Springs Primary School in the early 70s - I believe it overlooked the ski village but not sure if it had been built then - mind also playing tricks!!
