On this second link you'll have to scroll down to the web results section and if you look at the second entry 'database 8' it has some reference to a St Agatha's - there's also a contact link on the bottom of the page.

 

Hope this sheds some light on things.

thanks for replying tiffy. The second link u gave me does not bring up any results just jeeves search bar i have tried putting st agatha's in but no results that were useful. I think it was around the ecclesall road area as mum said she was sure ecclesall rd was at the bottom of the street!!!!!!!

Never heard of it, but there's a Broomgrove Road which runs between Eccllesall Road and Clarkehouse Road.
