Hello,All, In the 1841 Census for Sheffield I found quite a number of individuals with the "Address" listed as " Haymarket". Would SKS inform me as to what and where that place was. Regards. Gordon Neal. Canada.

An old library pamphlet called _Street Names of Central Sheffield_ by Mary Walton says this about Haymarket: "The name Haymarket dates from about 1830, when the then Duke of Norfolk made one of his family's several unsuccessful attempts to establish a hay and corn market in the town. The old name of Haymarket was Bull Stake. Here, certainly, a bull was tied, and it is only too true that the animal may at times have been cruelly baited: but the stake had also a milder function - here the town bull may have stood for hire in the proper season as a sire."
