Harry1000 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I am looking for Victory lane in the town centre (or beyond). I have heard mention of it but do not know where it is or whether it existed. Also if it had / has any pubs on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 have done a search for you on the sheffield History Forum's website but nothing is coming up under Victory lane (this searches back quite a way 1800 I believe). The only ones it is listing are Vicar lane and Victoria lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Is it possible that what you've been hearing is 'Fig Tree Lane' (off Bank Street)? I can't find any mention of a pub on it though. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry1000 Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 That could be very possible. I thought it was in the area of Bank Street, you could be right! Will keep looking just in case though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlin Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Harry, are you sure its not Vicar lane, This runs off Campo lane, which as you will know is the continuation of Bank Street. and there is a former pub on the corner , the Golden Ball, which is now the Boho restaurant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 ...Campo lane, which as you will know is the continuation of Bank Street. Bank Street is the continuation of Queen Street- it is further down the hill than Campo Lane Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry1000 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Isn't the Boho restaurant on the crossroads with Campo Lane, Vicar Lane and Lee Croft? If it is, then the Golden Ball Pub was situated more further along behind the old St. James Church (before it was destroyed in WW II). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, then the Golden Ball Pub was situated more further along behind the old St. James Church (before it was destroyed in WW II). The Golden Ball used to be at 6 Townhead Street, then moved to no. 10 corner of Campo Lane, It also seems to have moved a couple of times along Campo Lane.

bluebird62 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Is it possible that what you've been hearing is 'Fig Tree Lane' (off Bank Street)? I can't find any mention of a pub on it though. Hugh Hugh, i thought that Figtree Lane was off Trippet Lane, it is the first street left off Trippet Lane. Where the first womens hospital was before they built Jessops.

Plain Talker Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 no, bluebird, Figtree Lane runs between campo lane/hartshead and Bank Street, behind the Anglican Cathedral. http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=435000&Y=388000&width=700&height=400&gride=434873&gridn=387064&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=pc&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&scale=5000&downright.x=66&downright.y=4 it runs from just to the right of york street to where Scargill croft is, on the map above. it's the street without a name just by the curve of hartshead. I do believe you are right about the first "jessop" hospital being there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
