Good evening all, Looking for information and an image (not holding my breath), of the BARRELL INN, Anson street sheffield which is the last road at the bottom of South Street, Park. Anyone got any information please?

I hope 2020 sees a halt on the destruction of our old buildings, especially the Victorian factories, we’ve lost far to many for the sake of terrible flats and apartments for students and new buyers. The Croft’s are unrecognisable from what they were to what they are now are, the council should hang their heads in shame, how can anyone blue pencil the total obliteration of such an historic area.

Have a look at this set of 44 high resolution photos of Sheffield in the 1970's https://flashbak.com/44-snapshots-of-sheffield-in-the-1970s-397359/

501 was the prototype for the Roberts class (502-536), and was built at Queens Road in 1946. It's first trial run was on 11th July 1946, before the separation of the Sheffield and Rotherham systems. The picture is taken at the Templeborough reversing triangle at Temple Street, which was specially constructed so the single ended Rotherham cars could turn here and operate short workings. The photo was taken on 22nd September 1946 (two months after 501 first ran) and it was a Light Rail Transit League tour, cost 3 shillings. The tour started at the LMS Station and ran to Handsworth, then back to Attercliffe and Templeborough, where a change was made to the Rotherham car for a trip to Rotherham and back, Sheffield 501 taking the tour party to many parts of the tram network before returning to the LMS Station. Too much detail, methinks
