Hiya guys, at the Attercliffe side of the steel bridge over the river Don on Newhall road is where there used to be a pub "now demolished", can anyone please tell us the name of the pub? Joined on to the pub was a cutlery factory, which we are now converting into office space, can anyone please tell us what the cutlery firm was called? Whilst converting the pub area into a carpark we have uncovered a larger than expected cobled road, i.e. large sandstone blocks and even upturned stone door lintels used in the road. We think the road could have been produced from stone of a old building, can anyone please tell us any history about this area next to the bridge? In wish full thinking, one of our guys said the stone could be from Sheffield Castle. Any help on this would be brilliant, "intrigued" many thanks, Pomyjohn.

I think the pub was called the "Lodge".The cutlery firm was at the back of the pub I think because I seem to recall the pub was on the corner of
Don Rd.Long time ago when i was there.

Up to the 1950's it was the Lodge inn 143 NEWHALL RD later UP TO 1972 143 was Mottram Seddon waste disposal plus Bacel Ltd food preperation. earlier 1901 jus
t a beer house with no additional premises a 149 is listed before the war but not a works there, this is asuming you mean between the river Don and liverpool St on the left from Brightside lane.

There was the Brickmakers Arms at the end of Alfred Road and then the Forge Inn at the end of Don Road and next was the Lodge Inn at the end of Liverpool Street next to the River Don.

Between Don Road and The River Don stood the Brightside Heating and Engineering Co. Ltd. Ironfounders.

It may have been a cutlery Works before that but I do not have that information.

Hope this helps you PopT

I think the Vine pub was between the brickmakers & the Lodge & the foctory was called the Brightside Foundry,opposite Sanderson Newboulds when I left there in the 60s.

Yeah the pub was the Lodge. I was born n brought up on Liverpool Street. Happy Memories :D

Hiya guys, many many thanks for your replies, we are so intrigued with the history of this place, please keep your information coming.......hutch, I am over the moon in your reply you mention "Mottram Seddon waste disposal", i can't believe it, what a coincidence, my surname name is "Mottram". I,m blown away. Many thanks guys.

I've just checked an older record and you were right on two counts.

The Vine Tavern was situated at the end of Paget Street between the Lodge inn and the Forge Inn.

The Brightside Heating Company did change its name from Brightside Foundry and Engineering Company in the early 60's.

There have been so many changes in this area that it is difficult to pin down the year we are all referring to as what was there one year changed the next year and so on.

I am still looking for a Cutlery firm on there but I cannot find one??

PopT, the pics were sent to me by rf2690, I put all four pics on the Grimesthorpe thread, it would probably be worth a trip back just to have a look at the stall. :hihi:

If you are on Attercliffe call in Staveley Insurance Services office next to the Holiday shop in Banners building, they have the set on the wall, either 4 or 6 I can't remember. They won't mind you asking about them, it will brighten their day up.

If it's the building on the corner, then it was Monogram cutlery in the 80s, we used to deliver their stuff

I'm currently researching my family history and have discovered my mother was born in a house on Newhall Road. I have just dowloaded Rick Mick's painting - which I think is brilliant and is just the sort of thing my mum used to reminisce about - especially the trams. Am I the only person here thinking that Sheffield has lost it's way in recent times and maybe it ought to ressurect the cutlery industry (I don't mean the steel industry)? I think 'Made In Sheffield' still oozes quality.

Skippy, Thank You so much for posting the picture link, the building on the left is The Brightside Foundry, that small door is the entrance to the electric sub station ( the bottob sub ) the top sub is above it, I used to spend hours looking over the little wall at the traffic when I was an apprentice electrician there. Thanks for the memories.
