==History==
The name Storrs is a derivation of the Old Norse word “Storth” which means a wooded place and is commonly found in the names of Viking settlements set up in woodland clearings. One of the first written references to the hamlet was in 1288 when the ancient Hallamshire family of Shaw first became established after Ralph del Shagh became a tenant at a local farm, the surname continued at the same farm for the next four centuries. There was another reference in 1323 when William, the son of Anne Dungworth was admitted to a small farm at Storrs.
The moors and common land around Storrs was enclosed between 1791 and 1805, the proposal which was put forward by Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk and other landowners in 1787 met with some hostility by “several of the freeholders and inhabitants” as the usage of the land became controlled by the owner. However, none of the challengers to the policy owned enough land to defy the large landowners.〔''"Historic Hallamshire"'', David Hey, Landmark Collectors Library, ISBN 1 84306 049 3, pages 79, 86, 87, 102, Gives historical details.〕 In 1881 it was recorded that nine men from Storrs were working at the pot clay drift mine at Load Brook, two km to the west.〔''"The Forgotten Mines Of Sheffield"'', Ray Battye, ALD Design & Print, ISBN 1 901 587 40 1, pages 68 & 69, Gives details of miners and Thomas Wragg.〕
