Hope you find something in these

Pauline Shearstone did write two books on Gleadless one of which you have, In my opinion the second one you refer to is the better of the two, you should get it somewhere as I think it is still current.

Hi,

I don't know of any particular books but there is a Gleadless Valley Local History Group, they meet every Friday 2-4pm at Newfield Green Tenants Hall. Perhaps they can help.
