Stocksbridge is approximately 10 miles north of the City of Sheffield. It lies on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The modern town of Stocksbridge dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. However, the area from which it developed has been part of the ancient Chapelry and Manor of Bolsterstone for hundreds of years. The Stocksbridge and Upper Don Ward in Sheffield includes: Stocksbridge Deepcar Wharncliffe Side Oughtibridge Bolsterstone Midhopestones Ewden It includes Stocksbridge Town Council and part of Bradfield Parish. As Stocksbridge was in the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974 there will be additional archive and library material at the West Yorkshire Joint Archive Service. Stocksbridge Library also holds a number of books and documents relating to the local area. Stocksbridge is in the Diocese of Sheffield. Prior to 1914 it was in the Diocese of York. Some ecclesiastical records (such as faculties) will also be available at the Borthwick Institute for Archives in York. © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 4 of 39 Timeline showing key dates: The growth and development of Stocksbridge 1802 Sale of Bolsterstone Manor. 1805 Opening of the Wadsley and Langsett Turnpike. 1812 1827 1841 1842 1848 1852 1856 The wooden footbridge at Stocks Bridge was replaced by a stone carriage bridge, so vehicles no longer needed to ford the river.

These include: people, buildings, roads, churches, schools, pubs, clubs and societies, industry, reservoirs, transport, events and celebrations. © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 7 of 39 The census People have lived in the Stocksbridge area for hundreds of years. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that the population significantly increased with the coming of industry. The names of people living in Stocksbridge are recorded on the census which has been taken every ten years since 1841. POPULATION GROWTH: the 1841 census shows that of the 871 population of Bolsterstone Chapelry in Bradfield Parish, 34 lived in 5 households in Stocks Bridge. The 1871 census showed that the population of Stocksbridge Sanitary District, which now included parts of Hunshelf, was 3,725. Searching the census The easiest way to search the Census is via Ancestry.com. This is free to use at all Libraries and Archives in Sheffield. This example shows who was living in Stocksbridge in 1901. By clicking on a name, you can view the original record which gives the address and names of all persons resident on census day. Copies of the original census returns (1841 - 1901) are also available on microfilm at Sheffield Archives and Local Studies. © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 8 of 39 Maps and plans The development of Stocksbridge and surrounding areas can be traced using maps and plans. The earliest maps for this area date back to the 1700s at Sheffield Archives. An early plan of Bolsterstone Common, drawn up in 1778 following a dispute over land between the Earl of Surrey and Lord Melbourn (Sheffield Archives: ACM Bra 169 L) Ordnance Survey mapping started in the 1850s. There are large scale maps of Sheffield from 1853 to the present day. Ordnance Survey maps of Sheffield and surrounding areas (including Stocksbridge) are available at Sheffield Local Studies Library. 1931 Ordnance Survey Map of Stocksbridge © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 9 of 39 School records Records survive from many schools in the Stocksbridge area dating back to the 1860s. A full list is given on page 34 of the bibliography. Some of the class of 1935, Stocksbridge Church School (Picture Sheffield: s17068): Log Book, Stocksbridge National School, 1869 (Sheffield Archives: CA35/336). Day to day events were recorded here. Attendance was often poor during the summer months when children were busy haymaking and ‘bilberrying’. Modern view of St Ann’s RC Infant and Junior School (Picture Sheffield: w00999): School records include: log books punishment books admission registers photographs governors’ minutes They tell the story of the staff, the pupils and the school. © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 10 of 39 The records of business and industry Stocksbridge is famous for steelmaking and as a result, many records survive for Samuel Fox and Company Limited (Sheffield Archives: 1994/7 box 19): However, as this trade directory from 1906 shows, Stocksbridge people were employed in a variety of different occupations: Fried fish dealer Terracotta worker Farmer Clay pipe manufacturer Tobacconist Bootmaker Picture frame maker © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 11 of 39 Reminiscence and oral histories Oral histories give a fascinating account of people’s lives and often record the experiences and feelings that are not documented by ‘official’ records. Marjorie Hirst worked at Samuel Fox's in Stocksbridge, Sheffield during the Second World War. She was interviewed in 2009 as part of the South Yorkshire Women in Industry project (www.sywdtindustry.org.uk). The oral histories and transcripts are at Sheffield Archives (ref. X303). “…the raids “…thebombing bombing raids “…the bombing missed hit aa missedFox’s Fox’sand and hit missed Fox’s and hit house!” ahouse!” house!” “…the bombing raids missed Fox’s and hit a house!” Riveting shop, Samuel Fox & Company, Stocksbridge, 1920s (Picture Sheffield: s10323) “…when war wasraids on they “…thethe bombing took us into the works…they missed Fox’s and hit a were all women, like me…” house!” In 2005 the Bolsterstone Community Group conducted an oral history project called Bolsterstone – in living memory. Voices from a moorland parish (Sheffield Archives: TIV/LOCAL). Interviews were conducted by Year 6 pupils from Stocksbridge Junior School. “Harvest began “…the usually bombing raids about mid-August. Local missed Fox’s and hit a men who worked in the house!” often returned steelworks to the land for a few days.” Men of Bolsterstone – church bell ringers, early 20th century (Picture Sheffield: s04110) © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 12 of 39 Deeds, planning applications and records relating to buildings and land ownership Records such as: planning applications, deeds and sale particulars are useful for tracing the history of a building or ownership of a piece of land. The earliest deeds at Sheffield Archives detailing land in the Stocksbridge area relate to Oughtibridge and date from the 1400s. Lease of land (including a cottage) at Midhopestones, 1749 (Sheffield Archives: ADC 18) Planning records show the construction of new houses and buildings and sometimes show alterations that have been made to existing buildings. These documents show a proposed house to be built on St John’s Road, Deepcar in the 1930s (Sheffield Archives: CA759). © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 13 of 39 Church records Parish registers are kept by the local parish church and detail baptisms, marriages and burials. They are essential records for tracing ancestors. Other church records include: Non-conformist church registers Parish magazines Faculties (detailing alterations, repairs, extensions or additions to church buildings) Photographs Extract from a baptism register, St Matthias Church, Stocksbridge, 1917 (Sheffield Archives: PR136/1/1) Stocksbridge Church Junior Football Club, 1918 (Picture Sheffield: s17044) © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 14 of 39 Council minutes (Stocksbridge Urban District Council and Sheffield City Council) Council minutes are a record of all committee meetings. Sheffield Archives has a near complete set of original signed minutes for the council and all of its committees from 1843, as well as minutes from urban and rural district councils of outlying areas before they became part of the city (e.g. Stocksbridge). FIRST WORLD WAR: Letter from G. C. Knowles of Stocksbridge offering house in Albany Road rent-free for three months ‘in sympathy with the most urgent cause’ of the ‘Homeless Belgians’, 1914 (Sheffield Archives: CA 68/11 (Stocksbridge Belgian SubCommittee) More recent minutes detailing the ‘proposed by-pass of Deepcar and Stocksbridge in 1977 (Sheffield Archives: CA-POL/10) © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 15 of 39 Court records Not all of our ancestors were law abiding citizens. Court records at Sheffield Archives include the registers of the Magistrates’ Court dating from the 1880s which detail petty crimes in the area. Newspapers also report on crimes. A snapshot of the Upper Strafforth and Tickhill area in July 1898 (which covered north-west Sheffield including Bradfield) taken from the Magistrates’ Court registers (MC/1/3) shows who was in trouble with the Magistrates and why: Using obscene language Fighting Bastardy Unmuzzled dog at large Furiously riding bicycle Fighting Allowing pigs to stray on highway Stealing growing gooseberries Attempted suicide Drunkenness Not sending child to school © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 16 of 39 Medical Officer of Health reports For matters of life and death, the Medical Officer of Health’s reports offer a fascinating insight into public health in Stocksbridge during the early to mid 20th century. They often report: Disease Overcrowding Nuisances Housing conditions Infestations The usual problems associated with growing towns during this period. ‘The matter of food supply being intimately connected with public health I would suggest that the importance of producing vegetables – especially potatoes – be brought to the notice of the people of the district. (Stocksbridge, 1917) ‘A case of Anthrax occurred last week at the farm of Mr Elias Jubb of Horner House. The animal was destroyed and the premises disinfected.’ (Stocksbridge, 1915) ‘There are a considerable number of destructive rodents in the district. All methods of [extermination] should be adopted – poison, trapping and the use of dogs.’ (Stocksbridge, 1920s) ‘At 10 o’clock last night I saw a child of a few months old being nursed by a child of about 10 in the open air in one of the side streets of the village. A disadvantage of the Summer Time Act.’ (Stocksbridge, 1920s) © Sheffield City Council, 2010 Page 17 of 39 Newspapers and local magazines Back issues of newspapers and local magazines are a great way of finding out about everyday life in Stocksbridge. The Local Studies Library has copies of the Penistone, Stocksbridge and Hoyland Express from 1898 to 1940 (thereafter called the South Yorkshire Times) and it records all sorts of things from theatre listings to the latest local news. Copies of the old newspapers are on microfilm at the Local Studies Library. No booking necessary – just turn up and browse! A number of local magazines survive from the 1940s onward. One of the most well known is The Fox Magazine – a journal produced by Samuel Fox and Company Ltd. It gives a fascinating insight into the social world of Fox’s, recalling those who worked there, the daytrips, the social clubs, the sports teams and everything else Fox-related!
