Bade Turton was well known in Beighton, If you wanted a council house (before Yorkshire extended their boundary) when Beighton was still in Derbyshire, you used to go and see Bade at home to plead your case.

Beighton became part of Sheffield in 1967.

Bade worked at Beighton Colliery, later Brookhouse colliery for a total of 51 years. his son Jack worked there till it closed. Jack lived 3 doors down the street from my wife's family and her mother is Jack's sister Doreen. Mary, another sister, lived on Armstead road but now lives at Mosborough. Barbara, the youngest sister lives at Eckington. My wife's brother Peter is married to Ruth (nee Antcliffe) from Manvers road and she has a brother Mark.

There used to be police houses on Victoria Road.

Does anyone have any information on the houses that used to be on Armstead Road?

 

They start at number 11 (?) on the left - what were the other house, anyone live in one and why where they knocked down?

With out going down I am guessing that no11 is the first of the flat topped coucil houses.

All the brick houses facing what is now the green baize club and those up Armstead to the council houses were knocked down way back why? haven't a clue. But assume it was considered slum clearance like those along bottom and up archard lane and Allen rd
