Dial House, Sheffield

Dial House is a Grade II listed building located on Ben Lane in the Wisewood area of the City of Sheffield in England.

There is also a verse on the sundial which reads: The Ordnance Survey map of 1850 shows Dial House in a rural location well outside the town of Sheffield before its industrial expansion.

In 1845 the house was occupied by Sidney Roberts (1804–1859), a silversmith and silver plater who lived there with his wife Sarah and their two sons John and Augustus.

[3] Subsequent occupants included Captain Henry T. Holmes (1868–1871) who was followed by William Haden, Gentleman, who was a corn miller employing 8 men at the time of the 1881 census and sometime churchwarden to nearby Wadsley Parish Church.

[4] In 1910 Arthur James Blanchard owner of a well known local clothing and furniture department store on Infirmary Road moved into Dial House and lived there until 1919.

During that time some of Sheffield's best known entertainment talents played there, including: Tony Christie, Dave Berry, Joe Cocker, Marti Caine, Bobby Knutt and Def Leppard.
