Daven Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That name may be cast into the inspection chamber covers if they are still the original ones. There you go historybuff - that is your next challenge. Keep us informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historybuff Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Many thanks to all who have contributed ideas, theories etc. I am leaning to Waldershelf's belief that it is not a WW1 soldier but more likely a decoration intended for the whole terrace. As Retep recalls demolishing nearby houses with a similar appendage perhaps the builder at the time had a job lot of the heads of Roman Gods or something similar! When the opportunity arises I will try to find the name of the builder. If I have any luck I will let you know. Regards & thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enhills Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Slightly O/T but ther is a row of terrace houses at Crosspool with a small "bust" in the stonework each side of the front door. These are allegedly based on the builders that built the terrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafya Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 There is an article about this in the stars retro guide from yesterday, it is a plaque to commemorate Field Marshall Viscount Garnet Wolseley KPGCBOMGCMGVDPC (June 4,1833-March 25, 1913) who was an Anglo Irish officer in the British army. There is a two page article about this in the sheffield retro pull out dated the 12th July 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
