More about this scene

Mock Tudor villas were just beginning to spread out from the suburbs of Sheffield on to the former green fields of Hathersage when this photograph was taken. The Hope Valley railway line, in the middle distance, was opened in 1894, making the village even more attractive to commuters.

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.
