Longcol   596 #15 Posted September 16, 2011 Was wondering, as to how Swallow Street. came by it's name, perhaps it was to do with Richard Swallow, who took over the Attercliffe Forge in 1775-1776. link to .. Rotherhamweb.co.uk/genealogy/swallow  Just a thought.  Almost certainly right I would think - his works were later taken over by Naylor and Sanderson.  http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Naylor_and_Sanderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Benbow   10 #17 Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks to all for your help. I am tracing my ancestors and my mother and father were both born in the Grimesthorpe area (Upwell Street) and my Grandma lived for a time in Swallow Place. I see that this post has been open and supported for three days short of two years, amazing!  Many thanks, Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
