Knab Cottage

Sheet 294.15 Nether Edge 1903

Information supplied by Gramps

Knab Cottage Off Carterknowle road Sheet 294.15 Nether Edge 1903

There are probably several dwellings there on the map, - a farm house and cottages perhaps.

Three views on Picture Sheffield.

Mary Bramhill in How they lived in Old Ecclesall says "Prior Nab was the home of other members of the (Fox) family; a William Fox rented it in 1649, and his son — another Stephen — was carrying on his occupation as yeoman in a comfortable seven-roomed house with two servants when he died in 1701. The house has long since gone, but the name lingers on in the Knab Farm estate."

Frustratingly she doesn't divulge who owned it, but I suspect it was part of the old Beauchief Abbey lands sold by that wicked Welshman to Sir Nicholas Strelley.

Gatefield House, Abbeydale Road, was built by Samuel Younge, solicitor, in the 1830s. After 1850 the house was let first to James Sorby and then to Thomas Bagshaw Cockayne, co-founder of Cockayne's Angel street department store. The Cockayne family lived there until 1890. Some time in the 1930s the house became the Gateheld House Social Club.

There are photos of the house in Mary Walton's History Of the Parish of St. Peter, and in Peter Harvey's Abbeydale and Millhouses Vol 2, - but not it seems on sheffield picture.com

Edit: the house can just be seen in the bottom left hand cprner of this aerial view

Hi skeets,

The Farm was off Granville Road more or less where the Castle College now stands,

the building was used as offices by British Rail up to it's demolition in the 70's.

At the corner of Farm Road and Granville Road where they meet Queens Road

there stood two old houses, is it one of those your referring to?

Steve
