duckweed Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 In my family research I found a relative who was born in 1830s whose place of birth was Clarkehouse Lodge. Anyone know where they were talking about and if it is still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'd guess on Clarkehouse Road - maybe what is now the cafe in the Botanical Gardens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 There's a firm of accountants with this address - although it's just called "The Lodge" rather than "Clarkehouse Lodge". Morris Clayton & Co, The Lodge 101 Clarke House Road , Sheffield, S10 2LN. I would think that is very near the entrance to the Botanical Gardens.

In every country ,town,state or province that I've been to ,is a Clarke -house or more often a Clarke Rd, all i can say is my ancestor must have been well traveled and very very sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ancestor doesn't appear to have spread many wild oats this side of the pond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckweed Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 I know that Clarke house is now Birkdale Prep school. There are several lodges in the Botanical Gardens. I'm not sure when if the Botanical gardens were built on the Clarkehouse estate or next to it. I understood the botanical gardens were built on an old quarry site.

Longcol Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Plenty of info on the Botanical Gardens on their website. http://www.sbg.org.uk/index.asp I thought Birkdale Prep School was the former Ashdell House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-and-pippo Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi duckweed I have a 1832 map, so that's before the Botanical Gardens was opened. On a road that's not named but looks to be the now 'Clarkehouse Road', are a group of three buildings named as 'Clark Houses' and that's how it's spelt with no 'e' Two of the buildings are small and the third one being a much larger building, perhaps one of them was 'The Lodge' and they do seem to be very near or on where the Botanical Gardens is now sited.

duckweed Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Actually I've checked Sarahs birth certificate and it says she was born much later in 1853, so that's after the Botanical gardens was established. Birkdales own website says the junior school is Clarke House. If the lodge was actually in the Botanical gardens, wouldn't it say that and whose lodge is the firm of accountants in? Does anyone know the building? Does it look like a lodge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
