royshotspurs Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi, Can anyone help with a mystery that is Britton Street, my Father said he can remember a Britton Street that was in Sheffield maybe in the 50s/60s We are from Devon but have a connection with Sheffield and this has baffled us all for years. thanks Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILLY Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not sure about Britton Street but Richmond Road at Handsworth used to be called Briton Hill and a lot of the older people still call it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cocker Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 There is a Brittain Street just off St Marys and Shoreham Street in S1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royshotspurs Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks, My Father is no longer here but he was sure there was a Britton Street in Sheffield, I am guessing it was around the high green area, as this was where our Family from Sheffield lived.

Longcol Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You'll probably have more joy posting in the "History & Ex - Pats" section - make sure you get "High Green" in the title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You'll probably have more joy posting in the "History & Ex - Pats" section - make sure you get "High Green" in the title! Moved it. There is a vast amount of knowledge in this section, hopefully someone can help with the OP's query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Doesn't it show up, on google maps? Shoreham (Note spelling) Street is the road that runs parallel with Bramall Lane where the Sheffield United Football Ground is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
