Falls Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 There is a rather large building on Burngreave road.. it looks derelict now... it,s just opposite the junction as you turn left on towards Rutland road.. what was it? and what was it,s purpose.. looks like it was very grand in it's day. Can you be a bit more specific about this building's location? You mention turning "Left" off Burngreave Road to go towards Rutland Road. There are two roads you could take to get to Pitsmoor Road and eventually Rutland Road: Christ Church Road and Minna Road. There used to be a Methodist Church on Burngreave Road between these two roads. If its still there, it may be another denomination. now. On the other side of Burngreave Raod, nearer to town, is St Catherines RC Church. It is built in red Brick in the Italian architectural style.

only_me Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I think the building you refer to is probably Osbourne house. It was a a childrens home mostly for people who were almost ready to be released from local authority care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
