His father Thomas Steade had married Millicent the daughter of Strelly Pegge of Beauchief Abbey in Derbyshire (later Boundary changes have now put the Abbey inside the city of Sheffield boundary).
The station site had previously been occupied by the Walk Mill; a water-powered mill in operation from the 1280s onwards was used by the monks of Beauchief Abbey to cleanse and thicken cloth.
