old tup Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Cheers Retep=The view was from where the Power Station was built later,the building looks like the water tilt mill which was demolished around 1930 and the goit was filled in.I remember the far end cellar being flooded to the top of the stair as a nipper,it must have come from the old goit soaking into the cottage.The area was a real beauty spot despoiled in later years,the price of progress I suppose!Old Tup:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Here's one from Hugh's link, http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/river-don-at-wardsend-sheffield-72808 I hadn't seen that one. One of my particular interests is the cemetery, and I'm wondering what is happening at the top near the railway bridge - unless it's just a concentration of monuments (though one of them is red?). I'll have to look out for the original.. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuttsie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Here's one from Hugh's link, http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/river-don-at-wardsend-sheffield-72808 Just looked at the whole link, retep. The tilt forge at Lady,s Bridge is realy interesting the view through the open window seems to be from where Hancock and Lant now stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old tup Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 HughW-Have you spotted the train on the right hand side?where the 3 boys are at the river a cooling tower was built,the field behind was all covered in thousands of tons of coal,drag scrapers pulled it into a hopper by the river,it went across on a conveyer belt to the furnaces at the power station.When our old man first stayed at the cottage it had a demolishion order on it,he worked on it,called the inspectors back and it was lifted!,that was in the 40s.

HughW Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not sure what you mean by the white bridge? old tup - I saw the train, and I think the smoke beyond the bridge is another in the cutting. The 19th century artists of Sheffield loved to put trains in their pictures. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
