the_rudeboy   12 #13 Posted November 20, 2009 no it isn't semantics if there is actually one in chapeltown and one in grenoside as well. and the one on bracken hill is chapeltown. I am still researching the fact there could be one in grenoside - two totally different areas of sheffield and bracken hill is most definitely chapeltown I LIVE THERE.It is the one off Bracken Hill. When it was up for sale it was described as Off Bracken Hill, Burncross, Grenoside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Greybeard   10 #15 Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Only ever one Barnes Hall. Lots of photos on Picture Sheffield eg  http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=y01767  and the address is always given as 'off Elliot lane, Chapeltown'.  (OTOH if you walked due west from Barnes Hall you would be in Grenoside within five minutes ) Edited November 20, 2009 by Greybeard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbayvill   10 #18 Posted November 21, 2009 Hi Everyone  Thanks for all our help with this. We hve been today and it is indeed Barnes Hall Farm off Bracken Hill at Burncross Chapeltown.  The electoral register has it listed as Grenoside why I don't know it has never been Grenoside and I think this is where the all the confusion has been.  Anyhow found exctly what I wanted by chatting to the gent who lives int he farm house.  Thanks Gail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lorri   10 #20 Posted November 21, 2009 Yep the postal address is Burncross, but as far as I can remember (I used to live there) it's been referred to as being at Grenoside because Barnes Green House and the lodge are on Elliot Lane, Grenoside just across the field from the Hall The lane used to go right through between both properties.  Barnes Hall Bracken Hill Burncross SHEFFIELD S35 1RD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
