DaveH Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Not on Street View, but one that seems to crop up a lot in a search and on ebay books & postcards etc, is .. Sheffield Park, East Sussex. Link to Flash Earth Yes Steve, Search for Sheffield on the Internet and it comes back with either Sheffield Park Sussex or some American imposter of a City. ...and its really annoying when you want to find stuff about THIS Sheffield. Another thing that has become even more annoying, especially on Google is when you search for things like "Gleadless" or "Arbourthorne" It comes back with a lot of hits, you find some that look like just the sort of info you are looking for so you click on it... ...and it returns me to my own postings on Sheffield History :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Are there any other Gleadless's or Arbourthornes out there, There you are Dave a personal challenge Indeed, is their another Manor Top out there. Should add that if you Google "Norfolk School" or "Norfolk Park" you get lots of stuff from other places called Norfolk, - not just the ones in East Anglia and the USA. WARNING Googling "Norfolk School" also comes back with a lot of DaveH posts on this very site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vox Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Sheffield Illinois USA Edit: I've found another half a dozen but I can't get them to upload. I've been at it for nearly an hour to get this far. I couldn't even get this one to embed. It worked ok in Preview but not in the post ? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 USA Streetview is terrible compared to UK Sheffield, Warren, PA, USA Sheffield, Pecos, TX, USA The first settler, a man named John Cannon moved into the area and bought the spring. Another early settler was Will Sheffield. He had a slight advantage in having the town named after him since he was the town's first postmaster (1898). Sheffield, Beadle, SD 57350, USA Sheffield, Franklin, IA, USA Sheffield, Spartanburg, SC 29301, USA Sheffield, Lorain, OH, USA Sheffield, Lynchburg, VA 24502, USA Sheffield, Greenwood, SC 29646, USA Sheffield, Bureau, IL, USA Edit: Well That way worked at last.

vox Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Downtown Sheffield, Alabam - Problems "Sheffield, Alabama is a small Southern city that, like so many towns has fallen onto hard times because of poor management by Government coupled with indifference on the part of its Citizens. We produced this documentary in 2003, and here three years later, the City is in even deeper peril. We guess the Civic Leaders still don't get it." It's long but interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
