Just wondering if anyone knows where Evan Terrace was in Elsecar. Its on the 1911 census and i know it is no longer there. Many thanks

Evan Terrace was immediately above Foundry Street which is still there but without its two foundries. Evan Terrace was commonly known as “Shitten Alley Row”. Its posh name was never used.

I am looking for information on the Hanson’s and in particular Martha Hanson who was born in Skiers Hall Elsecar in 1832. At 9 yrs old she was living there with the blacksmith’s family. She moved away and was married in Sheffield but returned and had a son Thomas Hanson Howe in Bradford in 1953. She may have worked at Wentworth Woodhouse.
