RichardB Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'd read of "Paddy's Goose" then immediately forgotten where I'd read it, so it is very pleasing to bring a keeper of : Paddy's Goose Love Lane, Sheffield Henry Greenwood (any location for Love Lane ? is/was it near the Queens in Pond Street ?)

Edmund Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Paddy's Goose was a rum place in the 1860's and 70's. It was the scene of numerous petty thefts and pickpocketing, including the theft of a scarf-pin from the landlord Joseph Woodhead, by two prostitutes, in February 1869. In September 1869 H.Greenwood was refused a wine and spirits licence for the place at the Brewster Sessions. There was a brothel in Paddy's Goose yard in 1870, the keeper of the brothel, who was summonsed in 1872, was Wm Buxton. Maybe there is scope for this site to compile an 'Index of Brothel Keepers'? Here is an article which goes on to describe the area round the Goose, it's clientele and the interior of the place. Richard Banner Oakley sound worthy of a little further research....

RichardB Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Excellent work. Would love to see a brothel index, no idea where we would find 'em though.

vox Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 In 1837 a magistrate refrained from convicting a notorious brothel-keeper, provided that she leave Sheffield Police returns for the city of Sheffield, 1844-1862, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thus in 1859 it, was claimed that 230 prostitutes over the age of 16, and exactly one under that age, were at large in Sheffield. Exactitude as to numbers was matched by an exact estimate of places of resort: they were allegedly using 111 brothels or houses of ill fame.

Edmund Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Perhaps the derivation of the name Paddy's Goose? In November 1872 William Backstone was brought before the magistrates on a warrant (having failed to answer a previous summons) charged with having kept a brothel in Paddy's Goose Yard, Spring street. The previous July he'd been fined £5 and costs for the same offence. Charles Greenwood, of Carr road, Walkley, the prisoner's landlord, was called. He stated that he owned over thirty similar properties in this neighbourhood and lived on the rents. He had been cautioned about the sort of business that his tenant Backstone was carrying on. Backstone was fined £10 and costs. Greenwood was given a warning and told that he could be charged with aiding and abetting the offence, and cautioned to be more careful about living on the profits produced by vice and wickedness. Greenwood had been brought into court the previous January regarding similar activity, and received a similar warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
