Has anyone noticed the links in post 46-47 and 48 are not working.

The others seem to be ok.

Now that is strange, because I mended all the broken Picture Sheffield links in this topic in November last year - I recall doing post #48 as I thinned out the links considerably and captioned them :blink:. I suppose I'll have to repair all those links again.

Woodhouse Station - GCR

A few items that you can add to your section on this station.

Apologies for the poor quality of reproduction, but these are scanned directly from the originals.

Now mended

Thank you for that, Steve.

As I said earlier, I am puzzled, having repaired all the links in this topic not long ago, and I always put a note in the "reason for editing" box so I know that I have done it . Why the links in posts 46, 47 & 48 were still broken I do not understand, as I remember doing them, especially in post 48, where I tidied the post up and thinned the links out.

Still, it is sorted now.

Thanks for the information. I am thinking of making a model of this station. Does anyone have track plans for it? All help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I wish you luck with the model, it's going to cost you a bit. The 1950's O.S. maps on this site are missing the section showing the station but do show the goods yard just north of the station. It appears to show getting on for 40 parallel tracks including a number running into Thos Wards scrapyard and one line that ran in a cutting through the scrapyard to Associated Electrical Industries Traction Works (Metro Vicks) where I worked in the sixties.

You should find the track layout of the station circa 1950's by looking on the old-maps.co.uk website. The 1955 map on there shows the station layout with a small estate of railway cottages just north of the station.

I used to pass the station on a regular basis travelling between the two AEI works.

....remember this station being derelict before being demolished in the early-mid 80's , before all the major redevelopment started down there.

Sheffield Motor Spares were in a large warehouse beside the station and i was a regular customer !

Also dont forget the bridge was a lot narrower also back then !

Not only a lot narrower but also at a dogleg angle with very strange cambers.

My uncle turned his Ford Prefect 100E upside down while negotiating the bridge with a bit too much verve.

Woodhouse (GC)

Location

Closed Still open

Old photo on Picture Sheffield

My dad's dad, G.W. Glenn, [1893-1970] was a rail guard with GCR and this photo was taken about 1932-33 at Woodhouse Station. I was told the family lived in the Stationmaster's house at one time and I do not know if the house was next to the railway line/station itself, or was located at 43 Victor Street. I can only access full Ancestry records through the local branch of my public library network; which is closed for the holidays and on Summer hours (here in Australia). It's ironic that coming from several generations of railway folk, I seem to be the one who keeps 'missing the train'. :wacko:
