Greenside House is an 18th-century residence located in Hackenthorpe, Sheffield, England. The building is estimated to have been built around 1825 and is a Grade II listed building. History Prior to the 1930s, Hackenthorpe was a village in north Derbyshire county, however following the war, the city of Sheffield experienced a population boom and the village was incorporated into the city, and in the process moving into the county of South Yorkshire. Historically the building was the residence of the Staniforth family who operated the Thomas Staniforth & Co Scytheworks between the 1740s and early 20th century.

Hackenthorpe
Hackenthorpe is a village 5 miles south east of Sheffield’s city centre, now classed as a historic township of the city. Due to much expansion, the village became a part of Sheffield city during the 1950s.

Staniforth
Staniforth is an English surname, a variation of the name "Stanford". Old English surnames were in particular a description of one's profession such as "Smith" or "Thatcher" or described an area in which one lived. The name of Stanford is believed to be of ancient Saxon origin and to have been derived from the words ''stan'', meaning "stone", and ''ford'', meaning "river-crossing". It was undoubtedly first given to a place answering that description (there were ten parishes of the name in England) and was taken therefrom by its first bearer because of his residence there at the time of the adoption of surnames in Great Britain. Sheffield historian David Hey writes about a potential location on the Blackburn Brook in Ecclesfield that contained a farm known as Stonyford Farm. The 1434 Ecclesfield court rolls mention John of Stannyford passing on land in 'Stanyford' to his son Richard further backs up this claim. It is found in ancient records in the various spellings of Staniford, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Houses Completed In 1700
A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses may have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers.
