Nigel Womersle Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Can anyone remember an old nun that performed good works etc in Ecclesfield?She was called 'Deaconess Green'? I knew Deaconess quite well. She lived in the Old Hall with her sister. She died in 1975. She wasn't a Nun though. Today she would have most likely been a Vicar. She was the Granddaughter of William Green, founder of Green's Foundry. As you say, she did perform a lot of good work in the locality. The family home was Primrose Cottage in High Street. Long since demolished by our caring council. Today it would have a preservation order on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dunwell family had a grocery shop at 61 High Street - demolished to make way for Marlfield Croft. I only remember Audrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevew Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Deaconess Green used to visit Rawsons Infants & Ecclesfield Junior where I attended. I think Dunwells shop was owned by two brothers and their wives.I also think Cassons owned it before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 My grandparents lived in Ecclesfield in the late 40's and i know i went to live with them at some point and i went to school there for a while. My grandfather was a foreman builder and i believe built the house, wether it still stands today i dont know, iremember a little toy shop on the right hand side if you had Lane top behind you and who remembers Hulleys ice cream garden the ice cream had its own distinctive flavour and i think they used to supply to other shops, i know it was around for a few years but dont know how or when they went out of business, perhaps somebody could shed some light.
