The above postcard shows the original St. Bartholomew's Church, on Burgoyne Road in the Walkley district of Sheffield. The large house below it is Walkley Divisional Police Station, which stood on the corner with Langsett Road,
The church which was built in 1881 last for 100 years before it was demolished and replaced by a new church and apartment blocks. The link shows the new buildings on the site. St. Bartholomew's Church is now on Primrose Hill.
My Gran's cousin George Sanby was married in this church on 13th February 1916 but he died later that year in a Manchester hospital from wounds he received on the Somme. His name features on the Roll of Honour at St Bartholomew's Church, just one of 201 who lost their lives
