SteveHB Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Could it be the Northern General hospital, I know there are pieces of old machinary scattered around the grounds, but dont recognise this one Yes you are correct sando, what someone described to me as being an 'eight inch bar mill', it stands on the left hand side of the drive if you turn right at the bottom of the Barnsley Rd. entrance.

hilldweller Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Has anybody seen the Fox Where is the Fox I thought at first it might be something to do with (Hoyland) Fox Frames , the umbrella maker. However when I Googled the name I discovered that the entire operation has been moved to China some time ago. Did the operation used to be based in Woodseats / Heeley at one time and is the sign a leftover from then ? HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 A slightly wider view Well, it clearly says "Fox House" I am sure I have seen this quite frequently in the City Centre but I am not sure where. Is it on the Moor or one of the streets that run off from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 does this help No you're just making it more complicated now. It says Fox House but it isn't the boozer out at Hathersage It's somewhere in the city centre and I have seen it. With Christmas & New Year it may be a while before I go into town again so if no one else gets it beforehand I will look out for it and let you know where it is.

RichardS Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Ah ha! On the moor, street view doesn't go all the way, but the fox house bit can just be seen on the building side on this shot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Save you a trip to town Dave I usually walk past it twice every Saturday, but as the next 2 saturdays are Christmas Eve and New Years Eve I probably won't get down there until 7 January 2012.

SteveHB Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Brought this one forward, submitted by Stuart0742, we never did get an answer to it's whereabouts. This Datestone is on building in Sheffield Where? Which Club was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wasn't there some kind of football club started in 1889 ? Just a thought. Brought this one forward, submitted by Stuart0742, we never did get an answer to it's whereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vox Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Here it is. Google streetview Just enough to claim the prize I think, whilst still leaving it open for a few more guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I suppose the logical next step is to find the "why's and wherefores" of it having been a WMC. I haven't found anything written about it up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
