dunsbyowl Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) The Farm, if it is the same, was for a time the residence of the Duke of Norfolk in Sheffield. Probably never saw a pig.

dunsbyowl Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The Farm The Farm was rebuilt as a residence for the agent of the Duke of Norfolk's property in 1824, and Mr Ellison occupied the house until the accession of Henry Granville, the late Duke, whose desire to reside for a portion of the year in Sheffield, and so have an opportunity of cultivating kindly social intercourse with its inhabitants, led him to make extensive additions to the building, suitable to his own requirements. The new dining-room claims more than a passing notice. It was constructed after a careful study of an old English interior. The ceiling was executed on the model of the one still remaining at the manour, in the room known as "Queen Mary's room". The heraldic charges, the ornaments of rose, pomegranate, and fleur-de-lis, all attest the period of art which it represents; whilst the wood pannelling of the walls, the mullioned windows, and the noble mantelpiece, with its dog-stove and tile bordering, all belong to that style, which under the comprehensive term "Elizabethan," enters into almost evey home of old England. A wing was built, containing the offices, which is terminated by a square tower, with oriel turret stair surmounted by a lofty vane, and flanked by a grand stack of chimneys. There is a domestic chapel over the gateway, and the kitchen offices are very capacious and complete. At the present time (1860's), the tunnel of the Chesterfield line of railway having been constructed thorugh, or rather under the ground attached to the farm, the formation of balustrated terraces has been rendered necessary, as well as a spacious forecourt, which have much improved the exterior appearance.

Can't be the same "the farm", unless they were playing football in the dining room with the mullioned windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Looked on 1870,s OS map there were two level greens to front and rear of the building, probably big enough to accomodate a 'Cutlers' training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with reference to the Blunts and animals there was from early 19th Century on stabling, Livery and Livestock husbandry provided on Bramall Lane just about opposite the ground from Randall Street to John Street, the stink must have been terrible and may have contributed to our leaving the poo poooil.

So basically they added a heap more crap to the ten tons of crap already there!Mind you it's highly appropriate, Bramall Lane has been full of Bullpoo pooters ever since 1889!
