jmdee Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Neepsend Ln junction with Bardwell Rd Seen better days, anybody know the history Seems to me it was a brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Seems to me it was a brewery. Yes, now you mention it it does also look remarkably like a brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest binsted71 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yes, now you mention it it does also look remarkably like a brewery. If I remember correctly, it was the rolling mills of The Hallamshire Steel and File Company back in the '50's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 If I remember correctly, it was the rolling mills of The Hallamshire Steel and File Company back in the '50's So now were back with steel again! Do you actually know the answer to this one Stuart or are you expecting someone to tell you something you don't know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterside Echo Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Seems to me it was a brewery. I kept quiet on this one as this was our local tram stop in the 1950s, I also caught the tram from here to Chaucer School. On the corner of the building below the office sign was a plaque giving the date of the Sheffield Flood and was mounted to show where the hight the flood water came to. It was removed or stolen in the early 70s. Photo courtesy R J Wiseman. W/E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been theatrical like I said in the first place would it have been a COMEDY or a FARCE? Maybe its turning into a bit of a TRAGEDY. But I can't wait to find the answer out, it's certainly a THRILLER lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W/E I suppose the next question is when was the rendering added to the building, at 1st glance you would think it was stone, but on closer examination you can see the brickwork, as in W/E's photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 It is on Google SV that's where Steve will have seen it, or perhaps he has been there, it is a mystery as Toyah would say As you like Toilet Wilcox so much Stuart have you noticed that she is appearing in the Christmas pantomime "Snow White" at Sheffield Lyceum this year? If so you will have noticed that she is playting the WICKED WITCH and not SNOW WHITE lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the brickwork on one of the pictures but I don't know if this was taken in front of the building or at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second picture I recognise three Joe Webster with the glasses on and I think George Smith with the patch, Joe worked in the bar part of the wiremill as did Jack Lumb second from right, and i'm sure I remember the lady driving a Ransome truck they used to be parked wiremill side. Edit: Make that four David Batten the tall one at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
