little malc Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks for reply Ken, the book you have is actually the second one published, I have the one entitled just Shiregreen Wincobank @ Ecclesfield. My mate in Sheffield, Ian Bilson has your copy, so I will have a peek on our next visit. Best regards, Malcolm Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timo Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Sounds marvellous. Is it published by The Star newspaper, like the Images of Sheffield books? Your reference to Keppel's Column, near Scholes Coppice brought back memories of "Egging" as a schoolboy in the early seventies. I would never condone behaviour like this now, but we desperately wanted to get at the Kestrel's nest at the top of the column. We never did, which is just as well. Wincobank Castle? Was this situated at the top of Standon Road, Wincobank before the building of the estate consisting of an extension of the road, plus the Crescent and Drive? Or was it somewhere up Newman Road?
