Where was Bright Street?

[janemm7]

Hi - I have just been handed a copy of my grandparent marriage certificate, and it states that my Grandfathers family lived at 26 Bright Street (in 1929). I can't find Bright Street on a modern map and wonder if it is still there? My Grandfather and his father were both called George Green. My mum left Sheffield as an evacuee in 1939 ish - aged 9, but her parents went on to have a sweet/cake shop and then a bookies somewhere in Sheffield.

My father in law who was George Frederick Kay lived on Bright Street.

The old terraced houses have now been demolished and I believe Bright Street is now known as Carbrook Hall Road. Hope this helps

Bright Street was between Dunlop Street and Atterciffe Common.

The Weedon Street end of Bright Street. In the fields above the railway lines, is where Meadowhall is now sited.

Guessing that the house on the corner of Weedon Street and Bright Street is No. 2, then No.26 would be the last house on the block after Stanley Place.

Hi - thanks for all the info and the pictures. My mum is really looking forward to looking at them. I'm still trying to piece together info from relatives. Apparently their cake/sweet shop was on Landsdown Road in the 1950 - 60s I think.

BRIGHT STREET! It really caught my eye, because I've got a faded old second-hand book that once belonged to someone who lived in Bright Street. The owner scribbled "B. Stead" inside the front cover. At the back, young master Stead has added "H. Stead. 188 Bright Street, Carbrook, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, Europe, The World." Date? hard to say. The book is 'Boycotted' by T.B. Read a popular writer of schoolboy stories. The handwriting looks pretty much the style children were taught in school any time up to the mid 1950's. I bought the book whilst on holiday: certainly nowhere near Sheffield. Can anyone with a street directory solve this one??

 

PS The book also spent some of its life with John R Jenkinson who also wrote his address in the front: 265 Westwick Road Sheffield: this was near Beauchief Park.

 

PPS Carbrook jogs my memory. Wasn't there a BRIGHTSIDE & CARBROOK CO-OP?
