SHEFFIELD TELEGRAPH 7 SEPTEMBER 1929

 I found this in the Sheffield Telegraph 7 September 1929. It gives a description of how the top of Whittington Hill must have looked.

This 1897 map shows what I think were the cottages in question

HAROLD LOCKE - BUTCHER

 

This picture was posted on Old Pics of Whittington Moor by the grandson of Harold Locke. It shows clearly the cottages that stood on the corner of High Street and Church Street. A really good example of how a butchers shop used to look.

1841 Census

I have been transcribing the 1841 census for Whittington for a few weeks and finally I have managed to add it to the website.

Hope everyone who reads it finds it interesting and perhaps recognises an ancestor!.

The link for the census is 1841 CENSUS (Explanatory notes) – Old Whittington One Place Study (oldwhittingtonops.com)

If you are viewing on a tablet or phone then this link will work much better 1841 Transcript (hyperlink) – Old Whittington One Place Study (oldwhittingtonops.com)
