Apparently, according to J Edward Vickers, the open area north of the river used to be called Assembly Green (or 'Sembley Green), and was used for an assembly or muster of the yeomen and freeholders with their horse and arms, annually. Hi Richard, As it is just over the river from the Sheffield Castle this is quite probable. In Sheffield it is known as Down in't t'wicker weer twatter run oe'r tweer.' Judy
