doubleday196 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I am researching the early history of Sheffield United Harriers 1894 to c1930. I am also in contact with someone researching the later history. I have some photos,newspaper reports etc but any further info would be most welcome. Will happily share any info with anyone who has athletic ancestors. I have already used Sheffield local studies library. Some basic info is on my websites includung a large surname index to Sheffield sports reports c1905-1914 Thanks for any help. Glenn Piper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owonol Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Spotted your posting and seen various other places. I'm interested in finding out about my G/Grandfather who ran (and won a number of prizes) sprints in early 1900s. His name was Horatio Greaves. Do you have any references on him?

CHAIRBOY Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 The Hallam Chase, does it still take place? Perhaps a sub-set of your enquiry as I seem to remember SUH competitors 'cleaning-up' in the event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbuck Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Back in the late 1950's I remember a runner called "Jack Fairchild" he used to train in Concord park..I can still see him now in my mind "with blond hair and a brown track suit"...He inspired me to do some cross country running myself but but I wasn't any good at it...I believe he was in the SUH...Anyone remember him????.
