Im doing a bit of a nostalgia project and wondered if any Madsters had a photograph of the long gone Chemist Lane ? ( Masboro/ Thornhill) It was my early childhood home and Ive contacted relatives and scoured the Web but Ive not had any success.
Ive found pictures of pubs at both ends of the road ( The Carters Rest and Effingham Arms ( Kingfisher? ) but none of the actual street.
A long shot but you never know .

Lincs, found you some. Go into google and just type 'photographs of chemist lane in rotherham' look at the bottom of those images and it says
'More Photographs Of Chemist Lane In Rotherham images, click on that and I think you'll find on the top row pictures 3, 4 and 5 are Chemist Lane. Let me know if these are correct.

Lincs, have a go at contacting Colin Pearson at picturesofengland.com. He seems to have added a lot of old Rotherham photo's to that particular site.

There is still a Chemist Lane in Roth. A shirt road leading up to Charlie Brown. Is it the same road.

Brilliant link thanks Howdy. Originally Posted by howdydoo

I note that there is Millmoor Lane on the map, and Millmoor Cottage and Millmoor Brass Works, but no football ground.
Also, of course, The "New York" area

Howdy, great map. Looking up where I was born, up Tenter St you go over 'Robin Hoods bridge' never knew they called it that. Immediately to the right after the bridge is Hartley Lane. The map is showing 5 dwellings so must assume more were added later as I was born in number 14. Originally Posted by howdydoo
