There was a church called St Simon's (with an "i" not a "y" though) on Eyre Street, which was converted and/or extended from an old non-conformist chapel or meeting house in the 1860s. It is now gone and I am not sure exactly where it was (maybe close to where Jurys Inn is now?). As far as I can tell it seems to drop off the radar around 1940 (baptism and marriage registers 1856-1940 are held in Sheffield City Archives).

Hi Andrew
The Church was on the site of the current brick building, which is situated at the corner of what is now Eyre Street and Matilda Street (sandwiched between the Jurys Inn and Matilda Street). For many years this brick building housed the company of T. C. Vere Ltd certainly up until the 1980s or so. It then housed a funeral business, then a training centre, and has been used for other purposes since then.
