Hopman Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I think that another way of keeping the noise of carts down was to have wooden setts in the road. Before they were covered in tarmac, it was possible to still see these on Eldon Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyno Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Bit surprised so many years down the line and nobody has suggested a visit to Sheffield local history library/Sheffield Archives. Loads of stuff in the archives: https://www2.calmview.co.uk/SheffieldArchives/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=NHS16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
