Where was the hippodrome in Sheffield

The Sheffield Mob, weren't so gentle. In fact they were brutal. I think they did a house somewhere just over the border in Derby shire and also a house on Cavendish Road in Sheffield which belonged to a market (Potato) trader called Stanley Taylor. He was at home with his wife and a friend when they burst in and brutally savaged them all, looking for cash. But if I recollect correctly, they got away and sped off in a car down Lyndhirst road

The Gas Lamp that Roger Moffet referred to and eventually he painted it, was opposite the top of Union Road on Brincliffe Edge road at the side of a police box which was built into the wall.

Old teachers at Rolo [Rowlinson] school
Lord Lucan replied to Electerrific's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
It obviously seems to be a trait of Rowlinson. I was there in 1955 to 1960. And there was a little "B" called (Todge) Askam. He would be prosecuted today for his cruelty. I think he was a Geography teacher, plus assistant head master. The Head Master the was C V Kay who was also a sadistic SOB but not quite as bad as Askam. They have clearly left their Psychological marks on people including myself. -
