vicarry Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 As a kid, I lived on Priory Road, Ecclesfield and many of the locals referred to Priory Road as Buryem Lane and as a young boy, I really thought that it was the proper name for Priory Road. Anyone who knows the area will know why it was referred to as Buryem Lane. Mr. Phillips was the Verger at that time and he looked after the church property just up the road from our cottage. Does anyone remember Mr. Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Womersle Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I remember Jack Phillips and I worked with his sister Ivy. Priory Road was called burying Lane because it led to the old churchyard and the cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicarry Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks for the info Nigel. I think that I recall Jack Phillips' sister was for a long time, the post delivery person delivering mail from the Grimolby sisters post office which was situated opposite the bottom of Priory Road and Peter Bennetts butchers shop.
