Hello DeAnne and Lisa, The Wheel is a street name which still exists. It is a section of the road that runs west from Ecclesfield Village towards Grenoside. White's 1919/20 Directory includes the following : Parker, David file manufacturer (D. & Sons), Lynwood, The Wheel Parker, Mrs. Jane cowkeeper The Wheel Parker, Norman Wm. file manufr (D Parker & Sons), Oakdene, The Wheel Parker, D. & Sons file manufrs. Excelsior Works, Station road There are lots of Parkers in Ecclesfield in 1901.
