Guest Gramps Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well - I'm too young to have supped in the one on Waingate, but I did use the other one quite often when I were a lad ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gramps Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 28 http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/i...ost&p=47038 The top picture in that page is interesting as it records the dereliction of the site that had been allowed to perist for more than ten years. It seems to be a 'blown-up' crop of this photo on Picture Sheffield and was probably taken to record the site shortly before work began on building the new Town Hall. There seems to have been a fair bit of bickering between the Town Trust and the Council over street improvements in the area, but the upshot was that two new streets were built; an extension of Surrey street from Norfolk street to Pinstone street and a new street from the top of Fargate to the junction of Bow street and Church street to be called Leopold street. About the same time (1876) Pinstone street was re-modelled and widened. This involved the demolition of quite a few properties including the western side of Cheney Square and numerous buildings between the end of New Church street and Fargate - and of course all the buildings removed to build Surrey street. Leopold street with its fine new buildings was officially opened by Prince Leopold in 1880 but the sad prospect on the other side of 'Town Hall Square' remained for ten more years. The council bought the land required for the new Town Hall in 1886 but construction did not begin until after 1890. There are a couple more pictures of the scene on Picture Sheffield, —one a rather quaint cartoon. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/zo...jpgh/s18730.jpg http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s19982 1850 plan before the changes.
