PopT Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Does anyone know what type of houses stood on Tilford Road (Formerly Talbot Road) in Woodhouse before they were demolished in the 1960's? Also where was Buck Croft in Woodhouse? My ancestors moved up from Staffordshire in the late 1880's to Buck Croft and later moved into Talbot Road which I believe is now Tilford Road. I would love to know how the road developed. Help Appreciated PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hardie Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 They look like terraced houses in 1956, probably similar to the existing ones on the other side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddysbuddy Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 hi pop, are you ready? to the best of my memory the houses were terraced back to backs. the name tilford i am not sure where this came from, ata guess it would have arrived when sheffield did a land grab, maybe 1930s.talbot road was named for the talbot family, earl of shrewsbury who owned vast amounts of land in the area. remember mary, queen of scots being held at sheffield? the manor park belonging them was massive and the outer edge reached handsworth. going further back there was a cottage that housed the esate deer keeper, hence buck croft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillyDW Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Hi PopT, A little late to the party, but my great grandma and grandad Emma and Charles Smart moved up from Staffordshire and lived in those back to backs at the turn of the last century. My grandma was Emily Smart/White. Are we related by any chance??? X Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
