Excellent link Mr Steve. Often I've thought, I must print that out, work out what it all means and edit the thing so it easy to read - then life gets in the way.

Is that your wording Steve or the actual wording in the link? A Description Of The Town Of Sheffield, wrote in the year 1832 Grammatically it reminds me of Morecambe and Wise and one of Ernie Wise's "Plays that he wrote" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Canning Tavern, 2 Bower Street, Joseph Shirt (1828) - does anyone else navigate by Pubs ?? You've hit the nail right on the head. This is why I asked the question, I had this pub on my list with just the address of Norris Fields. Well that solves that one then ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukelele lady Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Does any one know where Leader Hall Market was ? I couldn't post this on the " Where are these districts " because it wouldn't let me. Every time I tried , the Google picture of the last post [ Bridge Inn , Curbar ] kept popping up and following me around , it's like a magnet. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilldweller Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 It looks a nice place, I take it it's Derbyshire then. The pub is on the banks of the Derbyshire Derwent on the boundary between Calver and Curbar which village is up the hill toward Curbar Edge. The main road from Calver to Baslow used to pass in front of the pub with a narrow bridge to the right of the pup. Since the early 1970's the road passes to the rear of the pub over a modern concrete bridge. Curbar is a rather "posh" hill village with pretty gritstone cottages and large detached houses with a curious arrangement of troughs/wells, a circular one for animals and a trough with a canopy over one end for humans. Nice place if you can afford it. hilldweller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Tim's Yard/Timm's Yard I've got two "Street" names for this one (1830's) but basically the same place. "Street" written in that way is meant to be something of a clue ... a visitor to Sheffield these days would consider this to be very central indeed, not quite a cricket ball throw from the Parish Church but ... even I could walk from the Church to here in under 3 minutes (make that an hour if the wife is on my arm ...) Moderators please PM answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I don't have and answer to this one (or indeed a clue) therefore, I'm providing all the information I know. Ralph Brown, Gardener, Strawberry Hall, Hop Yard (White's 1833) Could be outlying/Rotherham/The Moon for all I know. Open to all, since I don't know the answer.
