WWI era funeral cortege in Sheffield
GnrEaton replied to GnrEaton's topic in Sheffield War Years and The Sheffield Blitz
Looking at your Shirecliffe Lane suggestion Beery I think it looks reasonable. For some unknown reason my computer did not pick up your google map image until now! I'll ask Dean (who seems to be on the Great War forum instead of this one) as that's his neck of the woods and see what he thinks. Thanks for all your effort on this, Dan. -
Yes but your only saying that because you lived down near Bramall Lane and you supported Sheffield United

Could be me but The History of Sheffield's Fire Brigades site don't read right in my eyes, "A row of shops fronting Division Street from Rockingham Street to Rockingham Lane was purchased and demolished, plans were prepared, tenders for the building were accepted and in July 1929." "The Sheffield City Fire Department Headquarters, Division Street, was officially opened July, 1929." And a photo of .. "Ceremony of laying foundation stone for new headquarters station in Division Street, 1927 " Along with..

Where those dark wooden buildings once ran along Fox lane, instantly recognisable as the school, today there is just a row of houses.
-
A severe shortage of photos for this school then. Unfortunately its not there to go back and take some. Here's what it looks like today. Main entrance on Fox Lane, now a little cul de sac into a private estate.

Windmill Lane Firth Park / Wincobank I'm sure I already added this one this morning. Sorry if it appears twice but I can't see it from my end.
-
There is also an entrance to the park on Fox lane close to the point where the previous view was taken. If this is now an entrance it means that the park straddles over that top stream and goes up the hill all the way to Frechville. It would include all the fields which were previously part of Frechville / Thornbridge school (and their fields were quite extensive) but the school itself has now gone and been replaced with a housing development. Altogether this makes Jaunty Park a very sizable area in total.

A panoramic view over Jaunty Park to the Hollinsend / Intake estates beyond taken from a high viewpoint just off the peak at Fox lane, Frechville.

I think both these are taken just to the left side of what used to be Wood St. The building marked, Sheffield Rolling Mills used to be Andrews Toledo steelworks. The road across the bottom of the picture, partly hidden by the advertising billboards is Penistone Rd. The bridge is Hillfoot bridge, which leads on to Neepsend Lane. The Farfield pub is just to the left across the bridge.

The blue 'police box' next to the town hall
hilldweller replied to Sheffield History's topic in Sheffield History Chat
The police call boxes all had a little hinged door to the left of the entrance door which could be opened in emergency, I think by breaking a little glass panel to release the key. Members of the public could then reach inside and use the phone to summon emergency help. I think some of the boxes in outlying districts also had "facilities" for the use of the beat policeman. The one on Rivelin Valley Road between the paddling pool and Hollins Lane Bridge certainly had a 4 inch drain running out the back. On the top of the boxes was a blue lamp which could be switched on from a control room to alert the beat-bobby that he was required. -
Hi MINIMO, my church was also St Mary's but don't think I was around at that time. More than one garage in the area, Depot on Bramall Lane, (on map) next to Sheaf House PH maybe? Leadmill Road Depot, (not on map) ? Link to ... (1953) O/S map number 23 May help out with location, fist we have to find the small building that may well have been a Chappell, and we can then start looking for photos.

Good Luck with the hunt, hopefully more Higginsons and Brumptons will be discovered.

A625 Manchester to Sheffield road The A625 was the original route which wound it's way up and round Mam Tor. It was built by Sheffield Turnpike Company in early 19th century. It was always in need of repair as a result of land slips. I remember it being single lane traffic in parts after a slip in the mid 70's. I was on my way to Stockport in a JU2 van one day in the late 70's. There was torrential rain and water was flowing down the road like a river. The police were at the traffic lights that used to be around the existing landslip, and it was clear that a few new cracks had opened up. We were directed through a few at a time. Quite scary. On the way back later that night the road was closed altogether and traffic was diverted down Winnats Pass. The rain had eased and my curiosity got the better of me so I went for a look. The road had failed altogether and a section of it had moved down hill, temporary lights and all. A few days later I went back in daylight for a better look and saw that a whole section had moved down almost intact. I've always wondered what happened at the actual time it went, and if the police were still on it at the time. I'm not certain but I think it kept on moving even further for a while after that. If you park near the cavern, I think it's the Treak Cliff or the Blue John, you can look down at the old section of road which slid away. SOME GOOD PHOTOS By the way, some people call it the Shivering Mountain but I always thought it was called the Shimmering Mountain.

Up until the early 1960s Sheffield was well catered for if you liked Fords. Apart from the big three TCH, Brook Shaw, and Autoways, there were also smaller official Ford dealers. At the moment just three come to mind, Palmer Road garage, Turners on Herries Road and one at the junction of Penistone Road/Leppings Lane [later to become Gregory and Dench]. These small independent garages had invested a lot of time and money selling Dagenham products until Ford pulled the plug on them.
