Hi, I am looking for any relatives or information regarding a George and Lydia Radford who owned the Railway Hotel on Broughton Lane in Attercliffe at the end of the 19th century. In 1880 George Radford purchased two plots of land one from a Thomas Brooks and the second from the Trustees of the third Woodland View Land Society. I am looking for information as I currently own the property that was built on the two plots and am trying to trace some history of it.

There's this, courtesy of sheff-indexers site:
Radford, George (, Inns & Taverns).
Residing at Railway Hotel, Broughton Lane, Attercliffe, Carbrook, etc. in 1871.
Recorded in: Whites Sheffield & District Directory - 1871.

On the 1871 census, this is George Radford with his iwfe Lydia and their children:

On the 1851 census George is a "Boatman" living at "Canalside".
It looks as though Jeremiah Radford had the Railway Inn before George Radford took over.
