Guest Trefcon Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This from just inside Wolley Wood at the Concorde Road entrance, to your left. They obviously look like old farmers field gatepost's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sando Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Give us a clue....location ? Or has this thread turned into another quizz ? Baslow Road,Totley, looking at the wall profile pictured on Picture Sheffield .com, it could be Greenoak House http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s06087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gramps Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sando's last post moved to Mystery Location topic No it wasn't....this is the Gateposts topic !! Anyway - if I remember correctly Greenoak House stood opposite the top of Mickley lane and I think it was there before 1875. Sando - if this isn't a quizz perhaps you could tell us where you took that photo ? There's an interesting contrast in the masonry, the walling on the right looks like the kind of masonry employed by Inclosure Commissioners and Turnpike Trusts. Baslow road was turnpiked from Owlerton Bar to Highfield in 1803. Once the location is identified perhaps it should go in the 'date stones' topic he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Any ideas on this one? Hi Sando Just had a quick look around Baslow Rd nt Greenoak House can't see this wall/gatepost are you sure it was taken there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The picture was taken last week on Baslow road, Totley about 500 meters above the co-op on the opposite side, just below Grange road which could be a clue. There is only one post that I can find. The reason I thought it may be Greenoak house was the profile of the wall to the right of the post comapred with the profile of the wall in the picture.

I did not look that far up, Greenoak House is I believe is the photo I had on the mystery location topic. Not sure what was above there will have to investigate further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the above info I have found this gatepost Sandos original photo It is the gatepost to "Totley Grange" (long since gone) the present Totley Grange estate was built on the land by Wimpey's around 1964. Originally "The Lodge" stood behind this gatepost. The Lodge stood on this site until the estate was built around 1964 There is a photo of the Lodge on Picture Sheffield http://www.picturesheffield.com/jpgh/s05413.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gramps Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Requested by Gramps some months ago - old gate to Skinnerthorpe Farm. Fir Vale. In the wall of St Cuthberts. Just noticed this....thank you. The posts on Upwell street are the old gateposts to a farm known as Manor Farm in Grimesthorpe. The others I remember were on Hinde House lane opposite the junction with Little Blosover road. They were the old gateposts to Page Hall farm - the old farmhouse would have stood approximately where Hinde street crosses Robey street. You can see Skinnerthorpe and Page Hall farms on this map... Manor Farm is the buildings above and to the right of the 'y' in Grimesthorpe Colliery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunsbyowl1867 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Were these fine gateposts the entrance to Royd's Mill - could do with a bit of TLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Were these fine gateposts the entrance to Royd's Mill - could do with a bit of TLC Did you notice the other more modern gates (may be a fence now) and the road/track that finishes abruptly behind them, marked by the arrow, the old gate posts in your photo are marked by the circle By the way we don't have a 1950's O/S map that covers that area.
