Guest TCV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Does anyone know where these were in 1880. Robert Street & Watkin Lane? Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdee Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 In my 1926 map, it shows Robert Street ran parallel to Infirmary Rd., later to be buried under the Kelvin Flats. No mention of Watkin Lane though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsavo Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Watkin Lane, off Infirmary Rd. No note of where though. Suspect it may have been located close to Robert St. Info: Kelly's Directory 1948. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Think Watkin Lane was between Woollen Street and Cleveland Place off Infirmary Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 That make's sense! 2 addresses allocated to 2 baptisms that took place at St Phillips which isn't far from there, cheers fellas. The mother of these 2 Francis John Mills Searle and Humphrey Mills Searle was from Ireland was St Phillips a catholic church or a C of E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 By the way does anyone know what type of dwellings these were? Slums or decent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdee Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 They were typical turn of the century terraced houses, although the streets seemed very closed in and dingy. I took many pictures of them as they were being demolished in the early 60's, but they've gone missing over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 was St Phillips a catholic church or a C of E? C of E - one of the 'Million Act' Churches http://www.sheffieldfhs.org.uk/serv_con/st...39;s_church.htm Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCV Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 And I thought they'd be fairly well off as they went on to have a shop and the son's on to their own businesses. So it's looking like Charlotte was probably an Irish Protestant then? Looked an impressive church Hugh and shame about those missing pics jmdee.
