Hi
I am looking for any information on any of the following. Clough House, Cottage or wheel. Based around Shoreham St, St Marys Road known as Clough House Lane/ New Hereford Street.
My grand parents lived at 79 Clough Road for nearly 40 years till 1979. The house is still there now 2 flats. There used to be 2 stone pillars outside the front door with the words "Clough House" etched in them. Where did they come from? and why?.
I have maps showing Clough Wheel on the Sheaf around Queens Road junction with St Marys. Clough House is shown on a lane running up from this junction as Clough Lane and Clough Cottage is further down on the Sheaf near Heeley Bottom.
I also have records of Clough House used as a school with Mr Richard Bowling listed amongst many on 1871 census. Edmund Winder Surveyor and Estate Agent is also recorded as having lived there and Benjamin Wainwright took a lease on the property in 1805.
I would like to know when the house was built and pulled down.
The earliest I have found is a marriage in 1838 George and Maria Hounsfield - so we can assume it was built before then. they show up on the 1841 census in Clough House
Among the subscribers' names in a book by Charles HARRISON, FHS, entitled "A treatise on the culture and management of fruit trees" and published in 1823, is Mr B HOUNSFIELD, Clough House, Sheffield.
Hi
I have seen picture on Picture Sheffield and its not Clough House, far too small to be a school housing at least 20 children plus staff. Its more likely to be Clough Cottage.
Thank you
