jmdee Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 There used to be a small shop at the bottom of Wood St. The name Jessie wragg comes to mind. The usual short back and sides artist, but God help anyone sitting waiting at 12 noon. Then all activities would stop, while he had his lunch. Tough luck on the unfortunates sitting waiting at the time, as they would have to wait for him to finish eating before resuming normal service.

hillsbro Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 There used to be a small shop at the bottom of Wood St. The name Jessie wragg comes to mind...Spot on jmdee - from the 1942 Kelly's Directory, at 319 Penistone Road "Jesse Wragg, hairdresser". Here's an old photo of the area. A quick look at family history websites shows that Jesse Wragg was born in Chesterfield in 1904 and died in Sheffield in 1977.
