Despite previous articles, including one by local historian Brian Edwards, it seems people are still confused as to whether they live in Totley or Dore. This seems to be mainly because the Post Office includes parts of Dore in its Totley Brook Postal area and the Totley Brook estate was wrongly titled by the original Victorian developers. As Roger rightly says, it should more appropriately be the Old Hay Estate. The situation is further confused by the local ecclesiastical boundaries, with the administrative area of Dore being covered by Dore Parish and part of St John’s! As for the shows, I can confirm that the Dore Show is, and always has been, an open show, which means the winner of the photographic competition is wrong.

In March 1894, in the dark of a winter early evening, two farmers were travelling by cart towards Sheffield and about a half mile from Owler Bar came across a body by the roadside. Henry Thorpe, a farmer of Great Longstone, and Mr. C. Oldfield, of Ashford, made out a well dressed gentleman of 40 or 45, sporting black suit and tie, white shirt and blue waistcoat. He was barely alive but recovered enough to ask them if they would take him to Sheffield if he paid them six pence - and then he expired. There were no visible marks of violence but he had a tattoo on his forearm. In his pockets they found 11 pence, tailor’s scissors, 2 thimbles, 2 pocket knives and a pocket book.
