I worked the Upton route as a conductor in the 60's and then driver in the 70's. The route by the 70's was route 270 , Sheffield - Hemingfield - Upton. A long time ago and my memory may not be correct but It was a quite busy route, market days at places like Hoyland and there were many collieries still working including Hemingfield Colliery and Elsecar Main.

Picture Sheffield has "Talbot Cottages on Tilford Road" here, details on the link ---------------- https://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s30918&pos=1&action=zoom&id=103094

Coates, Bob and his father, both worked at Brown Bayleys in the 60's, They lived at Hackenthorpe at the time, I think the father may have driven a steam lorry but might be mixing him up with someone else.

Burgoyne Road / Bloor Street, air raid damage and Daniel Hill Street (junction of Bloor Street), here on Picture Sheffield. That's both ends of Bloor Street. More information on the links. If you go to the third link you can see an old map of Bloor Street and using the slider at the bottom left of the page you can bring up an overlay of a modern map showing the new park mentioned above. http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s00998&pos=1&action=zoom&id=4820 http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;y04209&pos=2&action=zoom&id=92938 https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=53.3925&lon=-1.4939&layers=168&b=1

Likewise there was nothing wrong with our houses, one went because of the river flooding but they built on the same site, the other went for the link road that was never built. I had a couple of 650 BSA combinations after years on Ariel VB's but my first bike was an OEC 350cc twin port single. I would love to have any of them back now but haven't got enough brass. I could never get interested in Japanese bikes.

1841 directory has --- John Hallam cutler , 14 The Ponds . John Hallam, spring knife manf. Little Common Ecclesall.

We may have met at some time, I lived and worked around Heeley, Abbeydale Road and Meersbrook from 1950 to the early 80's so knew the old area well. Two of our houses in the area were pulled down, one was on Spencer Road just above Anns Road, the other on Clyde Road. My first job was as a shoe repairer at the Timpson's shop a bit further up Abbeydale Road and I later became manager for a while.

Sheaf Avenue can be seen on some of the 1952 aerial images at the link below. You may have to register to get a good zoom but it's free and well worth it. https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/search?keywords=Heeley&country=global&year=all

Hello Ava, that's a different place, Sheaf Bank runs off Gleadless Road at the side of the Sheaf View pub. Here is an early 20th century map. EDIT just close the pop up thing down to see the map and then you can use the slider bottom left to bring up a modern map over the old one. ----- https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=53.3624&lon=-1.4721&layers=168&b=1

------------------------------------------------------ Signed and brought to the attention of fellow members of the Sheffield History site.

I am too far from Sheffield to look but if anyone finds a Robinson ( Park Brickworks ) brick, here is a site to identify it and compare with other Robinson brickyards. ---------- http://www.penmorfa.com/bricks/england19.html

1845 White's directory, Deep Pits run by Sheffield Coal Company. Hounsfield, Wilson, Dunn, and Jeffcock, (Sheffield Coal Co.) colliery owners, Soap house, Park, Manor, Corker bottoms, Arbourthorne. Birley vale, and Deep pits Coal yard, New Haymarket

------------------------ From Whites Directory 1862 Robinson James, brickmaker, Park view, Intake road. Intake Road is now City Road. The name Park View would suggest it may have overlooked Norfolk Park which could put it near the colliery or possibly a little lower down opposite City Road Cemetery. ---------- Post added 22-01-2018 at 19:37 ---------- I have just realised that this must be the James Robinson of the Park Brick works on Blagden Street. This was in fact James Robinson & Son. What made me realise is that I found Park View to be a lot further down Intake Road than the Deep Pits, in fact between Stafford Road and Fitzwalter Road on the north east of City Road just above Park Brick works about here ------ https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3766465,-1.4519961,3a,75y,51.33h,85.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sPx68pFDuPYb1rhfTQ7IycQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en -------- I don't suppose that stone house could be it, there doesn't seem to be a name on it so probably not. Here is a map with the house labelled, you will have to zoom in to find it. -------- http://maps.nls.uk//view/102345217

----------------------------------- Deep Pit was a colliery, even in my time the word pit was usually used instead of colliery. I have a map which shows Deep Pit Colliery on the North East side of what is now City Road in the same place as it says Deep Pit on the map linked to by *_ash_* . unfortunately this site doesn't accept images so I can't show it to you. Also from the Sheffield Independant in 1829 this report :- "On Wednesday, an inquest was held on the body of George Bellamy who was in the act of decending into one of the pits at the Deep Pit Colliery near Sheffield when the rope to which the corve was attached broke and he was precipitated to the bottom and killed." EDIT - I found an 1840 map online here ------- http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/series?xCenter=3267607.9816574&yCenter=3002918.0498865&scale=63360&viewScale=11338.5888&mapLayer=nineteenth&subLayer=first_edition&title=Ordnance%20Survey%20and%20Ordnance%20Survey%20of%20Scotland%20First%20Series&download=true

I haven’t got a Kelly's for that year but according to Whites Directory 1911 -------- Marion Road - 14 Morton William. shear bender. A surname would help. 1905 White's - Marion Road. 14 Halliwell William Arthur, (j) brick maker 16 Wright Walter, W. carter

--------------------------- I tried those links and got a blank page but when I added /forums/ to the end of the link the page appeared.

Well found, thank you, though I use NLS a lot I have never seen that on a map. This information needs adding to a lot of sites dealing with Sheffield Tramways. This is probably why its not on the 1905 map, newly constructed bridge ----------- http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s20351&pos=5&action=zoom&id=22861

I don't think there was ever a tram depot at that end of Weedon Street, Tinsley depot was at the other end of Weedon Street, the Attercliffe Common end and was the first depot built for the Sheffield Tramways Company in 1874. Here is a list of all Sheffield depots --------- Tinsley depot - Heeley depot - Nether Edge depot - Queens Road works - Shoreham Street depot - Crookes depot - Tenter Street depot - Holme Lane depot.

I probably played against you at the football table, West Street Hotel and the Adelphi were my regular calls.

Here is a link to a thread with description on Sheffield History. http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/11774-sheffield-deer-park/

My copy arrived today , thanks Sophie1803, I am already fascinated by it, and such a low price, I recommend this to anyone interested in old Woodhouse.

Unadopted roads are covered in this thread on Sheffield History ---------- http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/2543-unadopted-roads/ In the 70's when I was on the buses at East Bank garage Farm Road was unadopted. Though in good condition we were not allowed to use it with buses when returning to garage.

Not much help but :- Flanagan’s partnership with Allen ended in 1945 due to Chesney Allen's poor health, although they did appear together in several reunions. Bud Flanagan however seems to have done a lot of charity concerts and there is still a Bud Flanagan Leukaemia Fund. There were also a lot of tribute acts / impersonators. http://www.bflf.org.uk/
