AEGALE Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Has anyone any idea of where the residents of Wentworth Street were rehomed when Wentworth Street was demolished? I'm looking for the Booth family who lived at no 184 Wentworth Street. s6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEGALE Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Is there anyone on here that knew anyone or they themselves/family, lived on Wentworth street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) My Grandparents lived on the top half of Wentworth Street near the entrance to "the tip" When the area was cleared they opted for Norfolk Park but I've no idea what other options were available at the time. Apparently they lived at 185 for many years. Across the road was a grocers shop ...Slaydons?? Edited February 21, 2014 by RJRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 ...Across the road was a grocers shop ...Slaydons??Yes, your memory is good!. Old directories show "Mrs Emma Sladen, grocer" at 190 Wentworth Street. Pubic records show that Emma Taylor died aged 92 in 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westonstreet Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My Fathers family lived on Wentworth Street and went to Ironside Road,Gleadless Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My Fathers family lived on Wentworth Street and went to Ironside Road,Gleadless Valley. My grandparents were decanted from Fawcett Street in 1957, along with lots of their neighbours, there, and the new housing for them was on Gaunt Close, just the opposite side of Blackstock Road. I know the Dewsnaps were from netherthorpe, and were neighbours of my grandparents in both locations, and I think the Palfreyman family were, also.

AEGALE Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yes, your memory is good!. Old directories show "Mrs Emma Sladen, grocer" at 190 Wentworth Street. Pubic records show that Emma Taylor died aged 92 in 1959. That would be about 4 doors away from the family I'm looking for. They were at 184 in 1953. Any idea where they went? (booth)maybe a different name. Would have been 4 of them . Mum dad and 2 boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEGALE Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Can anyone help please. The 'Booths' lived at 184, Wentworth street. I believe they went there in 1947 when they married. Had 2 boys. in 1953 the boys would have been 5 and 3. Sylvia, the mother had a girl in 1953 at Netheredge Hospital. I've lost them and have no idea where to go.
