vox Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 A Sheffield Victorian Diary January 8th.1864 Decease of James Hinchliffe "Jemmy Queer" aged 86, Drummer in the Loyal Independent Volunteers 1794. ========== REMINISCENCES OF OLD SHEFFIELD CHAPTER VI. SNIG HILL AND WESTBAR WRAGG: Tom Smith, whom I have named, subsequently kept the Blue Boar, in Westbar, and afterwards the Royal Oak, King street. He accumulated considerable wealth; but Hinchliffe, his senior, a fellow constable and fellow publican, the father of "Jemmy Queer," was not so successful. He ended his days in the Shrewsbury Hospital. His family appears to have been in the scissor trade for more than a century, one of them, Mr. Robert Hinchliffe, having produced the first pair of hand polished scissors in 1761. Edit: "Smith and Hinchliffe were the proprietors of the bowling green further on, from which the present street takes its name." . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
