It was off Grimesthorpe Road in Pitsmoor, not Brightside.

Danville Street is in the top left hand corner of this map.

 

As you can see the housing was mostly back to back.

I don't see why it should do that, it's a link to a web page of the Sheffield History forum. It works ok when I click on to it. Sorry you've had a problem.

My GGrandfather was a police officer living at the station at 50 Danville St in the late 1880s. Does anyone know where records are available on what he might have done?
