The Meersbrook Sheffield

I was considering reseaching an article on The Meersbrook based on this article in The Sheffield Star dated Thursday 10th February 1957

Wkipedia gives a brief description of the significance of the Brook

"The Meers Brook is a stream in Sheffield, England and one of the main tributaries of the River Sheaf. The 

Meers Brook originates in Gleadless and flows downhill through Gleadless Valley and Meersbrook then, 

tunnelled, continues underneath Meersbrook to pour into the River Sheaf near Saxon Road and Clyde Road in Lowfield.

Historically the stream formed a boundary between the ancient kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia, later 

and up until the mid 20th century the stream formed the boundary between Yorkshire and Derbyshire".

But there is far greater detail on this excellent blog that details the Brook's history in particular and Sheffield's heritage in general. So much so that I have decided to abort any further research into its fascinating history
