Gatefield House

Abbeydale road

Sheet 294.15 Nether Edge 1903

Information posted by Gramps

Gatefield House, Abbeydale Road, was built by Samuel Younge, solicitor, in the 1830s. After 1850 the house was let first to James Sorby and then to Thomas Bagshaw Cockayne, co-founder of Cockayne's Angel street department store. The Cockayne family lived there until 1890. Some time in the 1930s the house became the Gateheld House Social Club.

There are photos of the house in Mary Walton's History Of the Parish of St. Peter, and in Peter Harvey's Abbeydale and Millhouses Vol 2, - but not it seems on sheffield picture.com

Edit: the house can just be seen in the bottom left hand cprner of this aerial view
