Maureen Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi katherine There were many farms around here in the past and yes these were 3 of them all within a 15 - 20 minute walk of each other I would say. The Standhouse farm on the Manor is where the Standhouse school is now. Well I think it has had its days as a school and is now used for all sorts of different things and is called Standhouse Centre. Here lived Thomas Cowlishaw and Amelia and also Alice Ashbury. The Nunnery farm was partly where the Sheffield Parkway runs into Sheffield, where the turn off is for Manor Park the farm would have been off to the left Here lived Eva Cowlishaw - Harry - James - Mary -and Annie I only heard about some of the Cowlishaws living at Low Farm yesterday, I have not found out any definite details yet, i will let you Know as soon as I do These farms and the names I found in the Electoral rolls at the Local studies library Sheffield they are from the 1929 -1930 book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prash Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Hello eveyone! My name is Prash- I'm a student at Sheffield University. As part of a project I am doing a study of the manor and darnell. I need any information people may have on these areas. eg. why were the streets made in the pattern of concentric circles. Major developments of the manor through the past. The effect of the Parkway on the area. Relationship with Darnell. Stories of peoples experiences in the manor would be really helpful. As well as any factual information. If anyone can help please e-mail me on ARA97PSS@SHEFFIELD.AC.UK I would really appreciate any help. Thank you Prash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GracieMae Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi guys... I've never lived in sheffield, I am a Manchester gal but my uncle Wilf (Richardson) lived in Stand House on Manor Lane and according to my dad, Wilf bought the methodist chapel and he remembers it as being right next door to the Manor Castle Pub. That may be a little help to you, I don't know. Uncle Wilf's son was Andrew Richardson and I would love to contact him as we lost touch throughout the years, if anyone can help I would be grateful Jacqueline (nee Richardson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Can anyone tell me if i am right in thinking that there used to be a tennis court along side the Weslyan church? i have a vague memory that there was one at the Manor Lane side of the church,also did the Cowlishaws live at the house at top of Manor Park Cresent and facing the Castle ruins,i seem to remember my mother telling me they went to live there when the old farm house was demolished to make way for Standhouse School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Seavill Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 ... my uncle Wilf (Richardson) lived in Stand House on Manor Lane and according to my dad, Wilf bought the methodist chapel and he remembers it as being right next door to the Manor Castle Pub... Presumably this was the first Manor Chapel in the grounds of the Manor and not the second one on Manor Park Crescent ? Very interesting, I did not know it had been sold on. Do you know what your Uncle Wilf used it for ? Regards, Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracieMae Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I think he demolished it and built housing, he built all those new houses as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
