Edmund Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 This used to be a police station. Not sure how long ago though. It's on stannington road It's marked on the 1958 OS map as a Police Station, though before that it was the Queens Hotel, up to at least 1913.

vox Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Here are some cuttings from the papers following Constable Foster's career from 1882 to 1902. There are three collar numbers mentioned (213, 313 and 400) so not sure if there are different men or a change in number. As well as hopefully being interesting for his descendants, they illustrate the life of a Sheffield police constable in the late Victorian age. Cutting #2 Alledged impudent robbery From Dictionary.com ULSTER - Ul·ster - a long, loose, heavy overcoat, originally of Irish frieze, now also of any of various other woolen cloths.

Thank you so much for this. Absolutely wonderful! And greatly appreciated! I am not sure of my ancestors collar numbers but I will keep digging to find out. There must be info somewhere that is available. But I agree with you, this is a fascinating insight in to the life of a policeman in the time. He lived at 50 Danville Street, Brightside Bierlow from 1881-1889 at least, and then in 1901 he was living at a station in Burton Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lysander Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I went to FPGS and remember the house being built, probably around 1955. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ianb Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi Steve, Downham Road was parallel to Horninglow, where I lived and I can't remember if the name changed at Tideswell Road to Ribble Way. All I do know is that they took away the best Play Ground ever in the Fifties to build those Police houses and the Station. To knock them down after only fifty years, they must have been Jerry Built.
