Many thanks, I will keep on searching

Searching old newspapers for Whirlow Croft Farm gives 73 hits between 1917 and 1939 in Sheffield Newspapers.  The address is Croft Lane.

The earliest article on 13 Feb 1917 is for the death of Arthur Clark, age 65, husband of Sarah Clark.

In the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 22 September 1939 there was an ad for a lost dog, it was listed by NEWTON of Whirlow Croft Farm.  (His phone number is 71612 if you want to call  )

The Newton family can be found on the 1939 Register, 33 Whirlow Lane (can't post more details due to copyright)

Looking on Streetview it is on the corner of Whirlow Lane and Croft Lane, very much refurbished.  It looks like the two original gateposts are still standing, the one on the left has a sign which I think reads "Whirlow Croft Farm".  I have tried to get a good view of the sign, changing the years on Streetview, but this is the best I can get, I have attached a snip of the sign to see what people think.

Probably the same one Ruskie was looking at earlier.

The one I thought it might be is further along Whirlow Lane as it runs NE, just on the sharp bend.

The early maps called it "Whirlow Croft" hence my suggestion, but it may well be wrong. There are a lot of places around the area called "Whirlow" such and such.
