However William Bryers was a "Laundry Proprietor" on Barmouth Road in 1905 (home 45 Falmouth Road); 1911 (living at 28 Carter Knowle Road) and 1919 (home was then 145 Ringinglow Road).

Guest Gramps Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Right...just goes to show you can't trust a photographer with the facts. My info was taken from the caption to a photo of the house in Peter Harvey's Abbeydale and Millhouses Vol 2. Thomas Bagshaw Cockayne lived at Gatfield House but I don't know what the relationship was with William. But from a 1852 Sheffield directory.... Cockayne Thomas Bagshaw, draper; house: Gatefield House, Abbeydale road Cockayne William sen., gentleman, West bank, Clarkson street Cockayne, William jun. draper; house: Norton Lees Rodgers John, merchant & Queen's cutler; house: Abbeydale road - it doesn't say Abbeydale House but I suspect it is. The Queen's Cutler wouldn't be living in a Victorian semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponytail Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Abbeydale House, built 1848, Grade II Listed Building. s05497 Abbeydale House, Barmouth Road / Falmouth Road. 1884 Picture taken from Sheffield Illustrated, Vol. 2 (For notes, see Page 60, Vol. 2) In 19th century Sheffield, the most famous cutlery firm was that of Joseph Rodgers and Sons. Much of the success was due to his son John Rodgers. In 1849 John built himself a new house of polished Anston stone in the Italian style of architecture, to the designs of Rooke Harrison. He died ten years later, and his nephew Robert Newbould took over the running of the business. Newbould built a new house a little further up Abbeydale Road in 1851, calling it Abbeydale Grange. It was taken over between 1903 and 1906 and became the registered offices and admin Department of Snowite Laundry, the company's boardroom being on the first floor. https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;y12784&pos=7&action=zoom&id=85622 Ground floor plan of Abbeydale House https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;y12785&pos=8&action=zoom&id=85623 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southside Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 This painting showing Abbeydale House (the building with smoke coming out from the chimney) was more than likely painted in the early 1850s. John Rodgers moved into his newly built property in 1850, from his old home Hillsborough Hall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
