Hi Linda, The place I know as Bradway Grange is still there, on a bend in the road known as 'Tinker's Corner'. My grandparents lived opposite Bradway Grange between about 1935 and 1947. Hall Farm, which is on the other side of Tinker's Corner has recently been converted into houses. I can remember Hall Farm when Mary Vickers was running it. She was the daughter of Charlie Vickers, who was quite a character. There is a further farm called Bradway Grange Farm which appears to be still operating as a farm. Another nearby farm is now called Border View Farm. I suspect that both these farms were relatively recently split off from other, more ancient, farms in the area. Certainly neither of the last two farms are showing on the 1851 map. My father tells me that there was a Mr & Mrs Osborne living at Bradway Grange in the 1940s. The Osbornes had a shoe shop in Sheffield. They had one son, Alan, to my knowledge. The name Tedbar Tinker appears to have been given to following generations. My father tells me that he worked for one of the younger Tedbar Tinkers, who ran an industrial tools business in Sheffield, at the bottom of Spital Hill. The company appears to be still in operation. Checkout the website http://www.tedbartinkerhire.co.uk/ I think that Bradway Grange Road was probably built on land that used to belong to Bradway Grange. Conalan Avenue seems to have also been built on further land that used to be part of the Bradway Grange estate. Of course you'd need to see some proper maps of the Bradway Grange land before it was split up, to see if all my suppositions hold water!
