Would the ABC streets be classed as Owlerton?

I have just seen the 1911 census and my grandparents were living on Anlaby St.

My grandfather signed the form and in the address portion put 38 Anlaby St Penistone Rd, Owlerton.

When did the ABC streets disappear?

 

I lived in hobson ave one street before the abc streets the area from hillfoot bridge to burdalls was alus called the bottom rooad

hi Pop T.i remember Softlys farm on borough road we lived near it in burnell rd,our back garden backed onto borough rd right opposite softlys.my mum used to send me to fetch milk and eggs from mrs.Softlys lovely people i seem to remember.that all got pulled down after we left sheffield along with a lot more of our area,just for a b****y road widening scheme.that area was home to us and all our relations since that area was farm land.wish we'd never left.back in the 60s my little brother used to get so ill with his chest doctor Henderson said to my parents leave Sheffield for somewhere with cleaner air,of course nowadays Sheffield air is not as polluted as back then.sorry PopT i went off on one there ,i just wish we were still there.

I can recall Softleys yard as my dad used to clean and brush the horses which were stabled in the far right hand corner of the yard. The horses belonged to Walt West, a rag man who lived on Borough Road, me and my brother used to go to Softleys back door and buy a bottle of orange juice which they normally sold along with milk.

I went to school with Mick and Malc and Steve. We were all a gang of mates who played around the area and in the park.

Hi DennisDay

I've often wondered about the old farmhouse that stood next Softley's on Borough Road.

 

Do you remember anything about the place, I'm sure there was a date above the door.

 

Love to know anything about this old place, it's funny how your curiosity is aroused as you get older and yet at the time we just walked past the place hundreds of times without taking real notice.

 

Happy Days! Popt
