More about this scene

Hathersage in 1902 was just a train ride away from Sheffield, offering a mixture of fresh air, romance and legend. The fresh air took care of itself; the romance was provided by Charlotte Bronte, a glimpse of whom was enough to make the local rector Henry Nussey lovesick. The stuff of legend comes from Robin Hood: Hathersage is said to be the birthplace and burial place of Robin's friend Little John.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My grandfather, Albert Clements, was a coachman at Shendish Stables at the time of the 1911 Census and so may have been a work colleague of William Scott (as posted by Barbara Gill on this site)
My Uncle Charles and my father James Scott  were born at Nether Hall in the early 1900's. The family was in service to Sir Henry Longman. The main family residence was Shendish House in Apsley,Hertfordshire where my grandfather,William Scott was coachman and head of the stables.  All the horses owned by the Longmans were given a name beginning with L.  My own grandaughter has a wooden rocking horse, named Larkspur, after my father's favourite mare.
