geotom   10 #2113 Posted March 11, 2021 The old grave yard on Wincobank Lane is still their, but its now just a garden and a benches.  The reservoir is still there, and as far as I'm aware it's still in use. To walk off Wincobank Lane, up Corby Rd, where Jimmy Childs was , is nothing like it used to be, it's now areas of grass and trees, then walk round the edge of the tip towards Wensley St, then follow the path up to the 'gun stand' is like walking through a forest. It's nothing like when we were kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Alec Roskell   0 #2115 Posted March 16, 2021 Hi. Are you familiar with the Froggatts who lived on Taplin Rd /St Hillsborough Sheffield I'm asking because my mother was born a Froggatt in Plymouth to John Redfern Froggatt who was in the Navy and I believe was born in Sheffield he was married to a lady whose maiden name was Kendal. Regards Alec Roskell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

St Petre   85 #2121 Posted March 20, 2021 Ludlow Street ran from Moss Street /Hunsley Street to Botham Street. Years ago Petre Street only went as far as Carwood Road (coming from town) or perhaps Garter Street. the rest was undeveloped until the Grimesthorpe end, that's where Ludlow Street came in. I once saw a map somewhere on S.F. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I once saw a map somewhere on S.F. I have a Godfrey Edition ordnance survey map map Sheffield (North) 1905. It is extremely detailed covering Pitsmoor and Grimesthorpe all along Carlisle St East. Unfortunately I am unable to add a photo from it to this comment but I can assure you that Ludlow Street was the last piece of the extended Petre St. This a picture of it.     Back to results Previous image Next image Zoom image Map Print Ref No: u01147 Title: Petre Street with the junction of Botham Street, Grimesthorpe Location: Sheffield_Grimesthorpe Link:   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
