Hi Clive, I have the following info about Stacey Wheel which might be of help to you, Taken from: The Water-Mills of Sheffield. by W.T. Miller (1947) The remains of Stacey Wheel were visible at the foot of the embankment for the Damflask Reservoir until the small service reservoir was built a few years ago. Presumably this was called Stacey Wheel because of the connection of some member of that family with the works for a considerable period. Such connection may well have been fairly ancient, for Malyn Stacye was a person of note in the district in 1624, and his descendants probably held this wheel. Possibly, however, the name is derived from Stacey Bank nearby, or, of course, the converse may be true. It is marked as Stacey Wheel on a Fairbank plan of 1789, and was given the same name in 1794, when it had ten "trows" and employed twelve men, under a Mr. Brightmore, who occupied the premises for twenty years or more. Stacey Wheel was completely ruined by the Sheffield Flood. Taken from: Water Power on the Sheffield Rivers. by David Crossley (1989) The first lease (Stacey Wheel) was taken in 1749 by Thomas Stacey of Handsworth, to erect a cutler's wheel on land between the upper cutler's wheel on the Loxley (Storrs Bridge Wheel) and Whithams corn mill (Dam Flask).
