Oldbloke Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Broomhill Police Station 23 Spooner Road 1893 William Wrench Toulson - Resident Inspector ---------- Wrench ?? Yes Wrench... I blinked a few times too .. I read this ages ago, but just today I was bashing through the old family tree and find that I am very distantly related to him on my mother's side. He was born in Hough on the Hill, Lincs in 1832 his mother's maiden name was Wrench (or Rinch). He lived on Well Street Heeley in 1861 when he was a constable, then by 1871 he was living at Whitworth Lane Police Station. He died in 1893 and is buried at Christ Church Fulwood.

Guest boxhead Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 One of my ancestors, John William Foster worked as a police office in Sheffield from at least 1881 to 1901. The 1901 census lists him as living at 'Police Station in Burton Road'. Does anyone know any details of the station? Or how I can get access to records for him?

Guest boxhead Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks guys. Great stuff. Does anyone know how I can get records of my GGGfather from the Police Service? In 1889 he was living at Danville Street in Brightside Bierlow (?), Sheffield, and working at a nearby police station. Does anyone know of a station nearby?.

hilldweller Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I know of eight (at least) coppers who lived on Danville Street or Danville Mount. I assume Danville Mount was nearby ... ? Apart from groups of dedicated police housing I think policemen have always tended to live close by other policemen. We once bought a house from a policeman and found out afterwards that several more lived in the close proximity. What I thought was amusing was the name of the street, St. Anthony's Road; St. Anthony being the patron saint of pigs and swineherd. :mellow: HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose some areas are so rough they do this for their own protection. But in reality it may be because one can then act as a witness to the others actions if any incident they attend ends up in court, - which I suppose, after making an arrest, it frequently does.

HughW Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Highfield Police Station, 243 & 245 London Road Tenders invited for building this police station in September 1872 [sheffield Independent] 1879 Jacob Bradbury - Police Inspector (243 London Road) 1881 Jacob Bradbury - Police Inspector (243 London Road) 1891 Jacob Bradbury - Police Inspector (243 London Road) 1901 William Jackson - Inspector (243 London Road) 1905 Charles Henry Moore - Police Inspector (243-245 London Road) 1911 Frederick Williams - Police Inspector 1919 Frederick Denton - Superintendent 1925 Austin Fretwell - Superintendent (E Division) (home 701 Chesterfield Road) The 1890 Town Plan shows the building sub-divided into two roughly equal halves. I am guessing the left half (243) is the Inspector's house: Jacob Bradbury was at the centre of the investigation of the murder of Arthur Dyson, for which Charlie Peace was later executed. In 1879 Catherine Dyson stayed in his house (243 London Road) at first, after returning from the USA to give evidence in Peace's trial: In her statement to the Independent before returning to Ohio, she said that at one time she and her husband had lived almost opposite the police station.

Edmund Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks guys. Great stuff. Does anyone know how I can get records of my GGGfather from the Police Service? In 1889 he was living at Danville Street in Brightside Bierlow (?), Sheffield, and working at a nearby police station. Does anyone know of a station nearby?. 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.
