Bryn, The crossing was still operating around 1950. I lived in Huthwaite Lane which leads up to Rompticle from the Thurgoland to Stocksbridge Road and remember the crossing cottage being inhabited by the COATES family. If you go to http://www.yococo.co.uk/LibraryDigitisation/ and get to the search page and then enter Rompticle, you will find two photos of the crossing dated 1910 John -------------------------------------------------- From: <eng-sheffield-request@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 8:00 AM To: <eng-sheffield@rootsweb.com> Subject: ENG-SHEFFIELD Digest, Vol 4, Issue 183 > > > When replying always change the subject line to that of the individual > message which you are responding to. > > Please "SNIP" generously, don't repeat everything again.
