===Banner Cross===
'''Banner Cross''' is a neighbourhood of Ecclesall centred on the intersection of [[Ecclesall Road]] and Psalter Lane. Banner Cross is split evenly between Nether Edge & Sharrow ward and Ecclesall Ward. [[Banner Cross Hall]], an ancient [[esquire]] seat, was virtually rebuilt in 1820. The main place of worship is [[Banner Cross Methodist Church]]. The nearby Banner Cross pub gained infamy when the notorious criminal [[Charles Peace]] shot and killed Arthur Dyson in the passageway beside the pub on 29 November 1876. The base of an old stone cross still remained at Banner Cross in 1819.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hunter |first=Joseph |author-link=Joseph Hunter (antiquarian) |title=Hallamshire.
