I don't know this side of Sheffield but is Ridgeway classed as Dronfield or

are they miles apart?

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.

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.

A little belter for you from the thirteenth century : Jace Park.

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

We normally apply the term "Cricket Ball test" to places you could chuck a cricket ball at from the Parish Church, for this one I've invented the "spit test" ... or the "falling over dead-drunk test" !

Little Hill (1860's)

Little Hill, Townhead Street to Campo Lane.

1853

Wasn't it still called Little Hill when the Sheffield Rep Theatre (Playhouse) was located on it ?

Possible typo for Apperknowle near Dronfield? (Link) (Info dated 1999. Had a look on Google Street view and can't see it?)

On some of the addresses on my pubs data it also says Apperknowle, UNSTONE.

I'm still no wiser but I wouldn't have thought it to be Sheffield.

No, neither Apperknowle nor Unstone are in Sheffield.

Are you working from memory or Google Earth evidence Steve? 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?
