The hill served as a fortress. The Zion whose story we seek ... is no hill with a city on it but a chapel hiding down the dingiest street in all Sheffield. Hidden away at the back right off the main street and only approached by the narrowest of lanes As Canon Sydney Smith used to say 'in all my parishes I have never had a finer or more worthy folk than the people of Attercliffe, but the beggars won't come to Church.'

Among the differences to image reference number s42768 (which was photographed on the same day) are the obviously full Merry-go-Round hoppers hauled by a different class of locomotive. Diesels had been re-numbered during the early-1970s, this one becoming a member of Class 47 (the identification is deduced by the presence of a ventilation-cowl above the windscreen, here viewed in silhouette, see u09073) The taller, brown vehicle extreme left on the nearest track was known on the railway as a van (meaning a covered waggon). s42768 Diesel locomotive towing coal trucks at Woodhouse East Junction. https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s42768&pos=36&action=zoom&id=83650 Mr Thickitt refers to Picture Sheffield No. u09073. https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;u09073&pos=2&action=zoom&id=95913
