Ellesse Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Does anyone have any photos of Francis Street before it was demolished? My husband's family came from there and he's trying to get a photo of the place to put in his family history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunsbyowl1867 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Francis Street, Cuba ... probably ... Peter Harvey cites it in his Street Names book in S9 but no was longer listed. He says it was probably named after Francis Huntsman )decendant of Benjamin) whose family owned land in Attercliffe and some of which was used for house building in 1880s/1990s.

Ellesse Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Sorry for the confusion. Yes Francis Street is in the Attercliffe area and I do have a copy of the map with it on. What I was wondering is if there were any photographs taken of the houses before they were all demolished, but thank you everyone for taking the trouble to find me a map of the area.

Don't thank me, it is Picture Sheffield who put the image online. I only came across this topic because I am slowly working through old topics and repairing all the links to Picture Sheffield which were broken when they moved server. As is my way, I am getting sidetracked and reading every topic as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
