Looking at cutlers. There was a Nichols family here that made knives for the Indian market. Also looking at the Goodison family (Colin) who was the last cutler in Stannington

Hi I have for some years being trying to gather info on the firm. I suppose you know that much machinery is now in the grounds of the Northern General hospital?

in between Wallace and Pickering at the top. old curved bricks. I have photos, do you ever visit?

The people up there now have uncovered an old well

I am confused now. Someone said it was up the rd on the right. I think the one in the foreground is 193. The even numbers being on the left in the photo. 154 being 15 houses down (on the thread I think).

Hi Person 6 Thanks, I looked at the film a few days aago after seeing your post. How did that film come about. Re. Orwell, its just a personal interest. The area is fascinating and I am trying to explore before development.

thanks retep, going up now

Hi Trying to find out exactly where George Orwell stayed in 1936. he was with the Searles 154 Wallace Rd. Anyone know whereabouts or which side of the rd. thanks

Worked in the chemi lab with Don Mills up to 1970, do you still have any contact, photos? Thanks, Mike ---------- Post added 13-09-2017 at 23:10 ---------- I am trying to collect information and photos on Sandersons (Darnal) from the crucible days to its closure. I worked there and my great grandfather was Steel Manager who died at the gate house in 1893. Interested in the history and often visit but after 50 years I dont remember a lot. I do remember the great meals in the canteen. It seems photographs are a bit rare? I have one of the 5 ton hammer team. mike

Thats incredible I spent hours looking and asking for the church records with no success. I am trying to concentrate on the victim of which little attention has been paid (doing a talk in March 17th at Darnall Library) I live at Rivelin Thanks for reply mike PS Arthur was buried at Tinsley Church where there is a gravestone

Hi Still trying to make contact with any relatives of Arthur and Cate Dyson. Upcoming talk in March at Darnall Library about them.

Interesting, he had at least five violins including a "small one which was easier to play with his little finger". Perhaps because he had a finger missing from his left hand. Two he made himself "appearance of being hand made" . His names is in two places. One he bought off Arthur Dyson. I am currently researching this victim.

Bingley Farm has now been demolished. Disappointed I never got a look inside.

Well done Susie Hope you dont mind Just phoned 101 and suggested to the PC that they take a look at this thread. Unfortunately unaware of previous reports. The last time the PC was aware and knew him as the 80p conman Your Calver St report has been given the Incident Number 993 Did you get a good description? Its about time he was stopped ---------- Post added 15-12-2014 at 20:43 ---------- Ring 101 quote incident number 993 and mention this thread

Found this on Google- Excuse me Mrs, can you spare us eighty pee, My car’s broke down on me! It’s a bit embarrassing I know, But I’ve got to call a tow, Excuse me Mr, can you come with me? Officer, I was just asking for eighty pee, You’re under arrest, You’ve been causing distress, Making people feel uncomfortable, Preying on the weak and the vulnerable, And for the sake of eighty pee, Sir please follow me.

Anyone remember the gatehouse - weighbridge on the corner of Darnall road and Wilfrid Rd? It is near the former marvellous canteen were I had my lunch. Worked there 1967-1970. It appears my grt granfather lived there as "Steel Manager" 1891 Census. And my grandfather "Crane driver". Odd thing is I never knew! Its a listed building. I dont remember it from my time but wondered when it was last used and for what. ta

He is 80p short, doesnt sound a lot but you add the 80p and pounds? up in a day. I was on minimum wage when he conned me the first time! The police know him as the "80p man"

Chubby affable guy - needs 80p fo petrol, wife and chid stranded in car. He did me at Wadsley Bridge 4 years ago, tried again petrol station at top of Herries rd the other day. Police aware but need good description.

Hi, I have been working on the Furniss cutlery family of Stannington and so is a descendant. We are both members of the Local History group mike

My dad had a cabin in the rocks (Fox Hagg?) couple of pics

The RN always required a vast work force, (Yorkshire was on of the greatest sources, we are I think only 70 miles from sea! Visit the Maritime Museum) I have had 5 ancestors in the RN and this is probably not that unusual. http://www.sfbhistory.org.uk/Pages/SheffieldatWar/Page06/Page06c.html

Hi Thanks for replies. I still have a problem, as illustrated below. Are we talking about the same place, across the road is Bingley House (Now a farm) This farm looks 19th c to me and I have no idea what was there before, Topside of the lane is Bingley farm with the tree problem although it is not now going to be demolished. "Revitt, Jonathan, Born Mar 06 1820 in Nether Gate, Stannington, Yorkshire, Died Jun 06 1896 in Bingley House, Stannington" (Tribal page.) There are Beals there(I reckon) in 1841 census, a cutler My Dyson references are "...farm on Bingley Lane" 1819 later stated "... a farm at Bingley House" mentioned 1835. So description inconclusive. I have a Mark and an earlier Charles Dyson (pre 1828, possibly pre 1800) Both cutlers and mentioned in connection with the "Bingley House Trust" - set up to educate the poor in the 17th c. Does anyone have any old pics please? Thanks mike

Hi I have my gt gt gt grandfather George Dyson claiming relief here in 1819. "Farm on Bingley Lane" (Bradfield Archives) He was a cutler so there may have been a workshop here. Has anyone knowledge of one please? Thanks Mike

Hi I worked in the lab from 1967-1970. I must have just missed you? had a look at the place a few days ago, its a boxing Gym now. Barry Garlic rings a bell. You must have known Don, a very good friend to me.
