gnvqsos Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 My father lived in the row of cottages at the top of Hoolins lane in 40's the address was Hollins Top, Malin Bridge. Where is Hoolins Lane?This would be prior to the relentness expansion of Stannington and its many suburbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossdog Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yeah, I thought Oakland Road was the boundary in that direction. I know Meredith Road is classed as Malin Bridge as I have a friend who used to live on there.That's right!.......also Malin Bridge ran up Stannington road to the pub at the bottom of wood lane in days gone by,.........now it seems Stannington instead of starting and ending at the Sportsman at the bottom of the village,starts and ends at the old Olivers corn mill at Malin bridge,all the areas in between have disappeared like Woodlands, Fairbarn etc etc............people prefer now to call it all Stannington, which of course it never was in the past.Still does it matter?

gnvqsos Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Melin -Welsh Moulin- French Mühle-German Mylen- Old English All from the Greek-myle Moulin means mill and there was a water mill there straddling the Loxley.Alternative Mail In Bridge may refer to the post office which boasted the most outrageous wig-wearer since Mikes Carpets was commissioned to test colour TV sets in the 1970s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharston Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 To my mind the real anomoly is that Rivelin School is nowhere near Rivelin. It is in Rivelin Valley and overlooks the river,some 50 metres to the north.The greater anamoly is how City School is a suburban loction.Rivelin School is in LOXLEY valley, the river just to the north is the LOXLEY.

Magneteer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My definition of Malin Bridge is ....Towsure, Malin Bridge School, St. Polycarps, Watersmeet Rd, The Anvil, and all space in between these points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsbitter Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 So where about is Loxley Bottom or Loxley Bottoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Rivelin School is in LOXLEY valley, the river just to the north is the LOXLEY. The Rivein valley begins at Moulin Rouge(to pedants),but locals realise that both rivers are of equal stature,and therefore the two can be interchanged freely.
