Guest TCV Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 One of my ancestors The Bills had a shop at 126 Staniforth Road, Darnall from 1901. I'd love to see a photo of the shop if possible. I've tried PictureSheffield plenty on Staniforth Rd but not No 126. Anyone got any suggestions on what I could try? It'd be great to find out as much info as possible. In fact there's another shop in the family too from the same date, 72 Parkwood Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would suggest finding out as much as possible about the other occupants of those addresses over the years in the hope that one will lead to a possible photo.

(Nothing found for 72 Parkwood Road.) 126 Staniforth Road stood on the corner of Westbury Street, can't say as I have seen any photos of that part of Staniforth Road.

neddy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I did put a photo on here (not a very clear one) with trams running along Neepsend Lane, with Parkwood Road in the background, it looks like 72 would be on the right hand side and probably the last property.

Looked for that photo to link it but I can't find it. Can 72, Parkwood Rd be seen on here by any chance? Just a thought Neepsend tram video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
