sheff_minx Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Except all the signs are blue at the Springfield these days - actually looks pretty ok. Never been in though, despite living next door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbinabobin Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Got my info. from 1891 census.

kensimmo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Looking for photos of Masons Arms Broomspring Lane, but cant find any... is it still there, or has it changed its name? know there is a Springfield Tavern... is it one and the same. Springfield was formerly known as The Ivy Cottage. I can find no reference of a Masons Arms ever having been at Broomspring Lane.

retep Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Looks like it was at the corner of Victoria St-Broomspring Lane or near enough. Seems Broomspring Lane was renumbered, -and your right it is very hard to read, looks like Herbert Barlow grocer & publican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbinabobin Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks Retep. From what you said I remembered a photo on picture Sheffield of Broomspring Lane on the corner of Victoria Street. It says no. 50 Broomspring Lane was a licensed grocers belonging to Wm Bateman (dated around 1900) Guess g.grandad's was next to that and it is 48 and not 118. He also made a mess of writing their surname and has g.grandma down as being Francia Ann in 1981.... but in 1881 she is down as Ann. Their son William on the 1881 census aged 10 disappears from the 1891 ... no one has ever heard of him.... cant find any clues on b.m.d. Do you think he may have enlisted and been killed.... was Boer war around that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have one disappeared around the same time, perhaps they were killed in some conflict or other, time may tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
