SteveHB Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Quite a way apart ridgeway sort of lies between gleadless townend and mosborough. Could be within 4 to 5 miles of each other I would have thought. Flash Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 In a straight line yep, but driving you have to go from ridgeway through ford, marsh lane, towards apperknowle and on to dronfield, far from close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The Edge Home of Thomas Rawson Barker, White lead &c. manufacturer (1849). I'm none the wiser either White lead was used in paint. The Edge - I can't find any mention but I think it was the Endcliffe area. (Nether Edge, Brincliffe Edge) ?? Just came across 'The Edge' it is named on a 1882 map, as was 'Edge End' (1854) with the buildings visible on an 1854 map. 1882 Good guess vox. + marks the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter I see what you mean, small estate built on what could very well be a large carpark, with one older stone built building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
