MOZZ Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hello I have been reading The Sheffield Gang Wars book by J.P.Bean. which gives reference to a pitch and toss tossing ring in Wadsley (1920's). Has anyone got any idea where about's in Wadsley this was located? My obvious guess would be somewhere up on Wadsley Common. Thanks in advance for any help.

PopT Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I never heard about one at Wadsley but there definitely one in Beeley Woods at the back of the Old Forge near the footbridge. Happy Days! PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old tup Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure there was one up on the hill between the Five Arches and where the scrap yard is now situated.It gave the lookouts a good view both ways it still got raided by the police reinforced with soldiers though.
