Can anyone tell me if there was a workhouse at 15,Gregory Rd ,Heeley in 1907 or if it was just a house?Thanks.

I would say, it was very unlikely it was a workhouse.

Thanks for that.The person I'm looking for was born there in 1907 but doesn't appear to be related to any of the above.

The 1905 directory shows "John Dennis Holden, tool maker" at 15 Gregory Road.

I think all the buildings were houses on Gregory rd, Heeley.At the bottom corner was waste land, were I believe houses had once stood.I lived and was born on Gregory road.

Hey, what was there before the big wooden hut that was used by the Sally Army?

During the war, and up until the 60s, that corner of Gregory Road and Cambridge Road, was occupied by a  concrete water reservoir, one of many scattered around the city as a source of water to fight wartime fires. It was surrounded by advertising boards.

 

I know it very well because I almost drowned in there.

 

You can just see it at the end of Forster Road, on the right.

Hey trastrick, I think we're at crossed purposes here, I'm talking about the Sally Army hut on Gregory Rd. just above Maltby's

I think your referring to the Salvation Army hall on Carter Road, of which there are no buildings shown on that section of land prior to the S  A hut.

Yes, I'm getting my Carters mixed up with my Gregory's, I used to live on Nicholson Place with the corner of the back yard overlooking the SA ground then moved to Nicholson Rd opposite the end of Carter Rd in the 60's.
