RichardB Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 This old pub dated from the early years of the 19th century, and was one of a cluster of pubs around the corner of Paradise Street and Campo Lane. It was originally known as the Golden Ball (Question : is THIS the Golden Ball that was known locally as "The Gilded Knacker" ????) http://www.sheffieldpubs.fsnet.co.uk/Busin...s/ballcampo.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tsavo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Think it was just to the Townhead side of Silverstones the wood shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriott 1973 10 Townhead St -Golden Ball Probably moved backwards from No. 6 for the widening of Campo lane. The Ball is listed in the 1849 Directory as being a 18 Campo Lane ... Somewhat later, I found a great picture, tells you whose ales they were serving, really shows the narrow street off well, and we should be able to date the typewriter shop owner .... if we so wish Source : Street Names of Sheffield - Peter Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
