  • Hillsborough Hall & Hillsborough Park
    HILLSBOROUGH HALL & HILLSBOROUGH PARK The Steades Thomas Steade was the builder of Hillsborough Hall. He was the son of Nicholas Steade and Anne Micklethwaite and was born on 16 March 1728 at Ecclesfield. He married Millicent (Meliscent) Pegge, who was the daughter of Strelley Pegge of Beauchief and Mary Broughton from Lowdham, on 30 April 1768. He was a magistrate and he died in 1793. Hillsborough House was built in 1779 as a dwelling for Thomas and his wife Meliscent who had been living in nearby Burrowlee House, which is situated just 250 metres to the east. The Steades were a family of local of landowners whose history went back to the 14th century. At the time of construction the house stood in rural countryside well outside the Sheffield boundary. Steade named his new residence in honour of Wills Hill who at the time was known as the Earl of Hillsborough (later Lord Downside of Hillsborough, County Down), an eminent politician of the period and a patron of the Steades. Steade acquired more land and the grounds eventually had an area of 103 acres (0.42 km2). They were much more extensive than the present Hillsborough Park, stretching north to the current junction of Leppings Lane and Penistone Road and included the site on which Hillsborough Stadium now stands. It extended further south encompassing the site now occupied by the Hillsborough arena. The grounds had areas given over to agriculture but there was also extensive parkland featuring a lake, two lodges and a tree lined avenue. There was also a walled garden, which still exists today, which provided fresh produce for the house’s kitchens.

  • Some Edge Tool Manufacturers of Sheffield 1787 to 1911
    Some Edge Tool Manufacturers of Sheffield 1787 to 1911 The purpose of this list is to aid identification of the maker’s stamps found on billhooks and other edge tools, and to give a guide to their age. The list has been compiled courtesy of the SHEFFIELD INDEX – Trade Directories: http://www.sheffieldindexers.com/DirectoriesIndex.html The compilers of the Sheffield Index used the following trade directories: 1787 Gales & Martin Directory of Sheffield 1791 Universal British Directory 1825 Gell's Directory of Sheffield 1828 Pigot's Commercial Directory (1828 -18290 1833 White's History & Directory of Sheffield 1837 White's Directory of Sheffield & Rotherham 1841 Henry & Thos.

Wherever they are obvious they have been corrected….. Note: an ‘Occupation’ search for edge in the Sheffield Index found 0 results. This list is the results of a search for edge* (see below) - it found 281 entries and for *edge* , which found 542 entries. To it is added a list for *sickle* (62 entries). The lists include merchants, makers, manufacturers, forgers and grinders etc. Not all would have made billhooks, and the list is by no means complete blade pruning hooks, tea knives etc. Allsebrook, James (Edge Tool Manufacturer).

  • Chapter Sixteen
    Chapter Sixteen Principal Tool Companies William's Tool Business William, the second son of John(3) and Sarah, was born on 3rd October 1781. He founded a large tool company. On 18th April 1803, he married Sarah Osborne, his cousin, the daughter of Elizabeth Binney. When he wed he was of Bent's Green, just half a mile from his father’s farm in Trap Lane and less than a mile from the churchyard where, as I hacked into the ivy, I found his large tomb and that of Sarah, near the Ecclesall Church door. Ecclesall Church offered choice burial sites to benefactors during its extension programme. William paid up; he couldn't take it with him. The 1817 Sheffield directory, shows Thomas and William, in the same entry. Their South Street business was a joint enterprise and they continued to operate jointly until around 1824. That was when William needed his own premises. Until 1821, William’s business was as described in the previous chapter for Thomas’s. Between that time and 1825 William moved to Rockingham Street, which was to be the headquarters of his firm for more than fifty years. On 9th February, 1824, William signed an agreement to lease a plot of land in Rockingham Street for eight hundred years! It was of four hundred and four and one half square yards, with all appurtenances which he bought from Mary Johnson, whose husband George, had bought it from the Duke of Norfolk. The Memorial for the lease tells us that it fronted on the east of Rockingham Street, twelve yards, south, on other land belonging to Mary Johnson, twenty-six yards west on land belonging to the Church Burgesses of Sheffield twelve yards, north on land sold to Thomas Staley, twenty-eight yards.1 Although we do not have any pictures of William's factory in Rockingham Street, one of his neighbours did advertise in an 1834 Directory.2 Below is a copy of the advertisement which shows the premises of John Davenport.
