hillsbro Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi - it's very interesting what you found out about Rudolph Krzok. I wondered if he was still alive - the 2014 electoral roll shows him at Ecclesfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agnieszka777 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Would be lovely to speak to his family (it appears that he had 4 children) and find out a bit more about him and the house. I think his daughter is a doctor and she used to work for the dental surgery on Stannington Road. I wonder whether my neighbours will be able to help - they have been here since 70s. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if he was still alive - the 2014 electoral roll shows him at Ecclesfield. It was the 'Pump Tavern' I believe at Rivelin on the Stannington side of the road, there was a large field in front of the pub, many many years ago I met a Polish guy who had that field full of Roses, as I talked with him it was obvious that he was growing these commercially for resale. I don't know if he owned that land or whether he was renting it for his business, I didn't get his name (which I would have forgotten by now anyway,) am wondering if that land is vacant now or have houses been built or some other agricultural enterprise on it.

There are only 2 Pump Taverns in a list of Sheffield Pubs Pump Tavern 79 South Street, Moor Pump Tavern Cumberland Way There used to be a field full of roses that a bloke used as a nursery, opposite the Holly Bush Pub on Hollins Lane. Which runs from Rivelin Valley Rd upto Stannington Rd. Could this be the one you are thinking about. The field still exists but is now overgrown. A row of houses has been built on what was the topside off the field. Now called Rivelin Park Rd The link below shows the pub and the overgrown field http://www.instantstreetview.com/@53.392979,-1.517384,-99.32h,-17.58p,1z Edited February 14, 2016 by bazjea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi bazjea and hillsbro - You are absolutely correct bazjea it was the Hollybush (I should know better), everything else was as I remember it, it was so unusual to see a field full of Roses at the time. fleetwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yes, I remember the field of roses near the Holly Bush. We had an allotment in Rivelin (just upstream of the playground) and long before we kids were old enough to go in a pub we'd sit on the wall outside while dad brought us lime & lemon etc. Here is a Google Earth view of the area.

zippyzag1 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 On 12/02/2016 at 08:02, Agnieszka777 said: Hi My family and I have recently moved to a house by the Anvil pub. We are very interested in the history of the place. We tried checking both 1901 and 1911 census but found nothing (the house was build around 1900). We were now told that the house used to be a butcher's shop (which explains no data in the census). Does anyone know anything more or perhaps have any old photographs? It seems I’m a few years late to this party.. but so lovely to see this thread. This was my Grandparents home for years. Rudolph Krzok.. known as “Ralph” was my grandfather. He owned Matlock motors off Loxley Road. As mentioned, my aunt was the Dentist at Forge farm dental practice for many years but is retired now. I was very sad to see my grandparents sell that beautiful house, but I have many, many amazing memories of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they left Stannington Rd, they retired and moved to Sutton on sea, Lincolnshire. Then lived in Brittany for a number of years before coming back to Sheffield.
