By 1895, they were known as Great and Little Houghton, at least on the maps here:

Oh! What a tangled web we perceive,
where ancestors try to hide and deceive.

Cliff(e) Bridge: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=53.55671&lon=-1.44455&layers=168&right=ESRIWorld

               Only just seen this as I could have told you where Cliff(e) Bridge was.  As a youngster it was one of myfavourite walks to take a lass on.   From Burton Grange up the hill to Cundy Cross, turn right
onto Rotherham road. Past the Hope Inn, down the path to the canal and onto Littleworth lane.  Down the lane and back home to Burton Grange. On the above map the Hope Inn is shown on the left of the canal I think. If so it must have been replaced by a newer building on Rotherham road. the beer in there was always ice cold due to the cellars being near the canal. I think it was called Cliffe bridge because the canal went through a cutting. As children we use to climb up the stone
sides of the cutting.  (not very high though)   My dad worked at the pit for 52years most of them
at Houghton Main.  We always pronounced it Howtun.  I think the Hope Inn was demolished in 2020
to build 20 flats.  Happy days

Hi there,
many thanks for your interesting input to my question.
Shame about the pub, just the way it is these days...
