johnm Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yes SteveHB. It works ok now. I think I have a problem with Intenet Explorer so have gone on to Firefox which seems much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Do we have any more maps that are out of copyright than can be posted ? I think I'm allowed to ask the question since I bought the job lot; many thanks to those that assisted in stitching together the maps I scanned/ worked on them in any way; no idea where the originals are now.

Not 100% sure of the agreement we have with Ordnance Survey, think it states maps older than fifty years. We need to ask Stuart0742 for confirmation, it was he who contacted OS.

SteveHB Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 In the meantime ...... Here is a new addition to the OS maps, 'Map 6 - Mowbray Street, Kelham Island, area'. It can always be removed if we are incorrect. http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/4008-os-maps-of-sheffield-and-district-1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The original agreement was as Steve says, maps over 50 years old, therefore any maps we have that are 1964/65 should be ok to upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 now there's an interesting map. http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/4008-os-maps-of-sheffield-and-district-195039s-over-300-of-them-33/&do=findComment&comment=134237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrowley Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thank you SteveHB for taking the time to search for and post a Moorhead map. I was originally looking for the layout of the tram lines on Furnival Street which I know was single track at some point but as luck would have it, the 1963 revised map was after the demise of the tramway system. I'm sure one of our tramway wizards will be able to answer my query though. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Maybe not too clear on this map from 1953, but the tram tracks on Furnival Street (going away from Moorhead) seem to converge into a single line level with Union Lane until they reach Sidney Street and then diverge again. At least that's how it appears on the map? Tram Tracks on Furnival Street c.1953 Hope this helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 There you go! One set of tracks along Furnival Street on these photos, all dated around the same time as the map link above. Furnival Street looking towards junction of Arundel Street Furnival Street from Eyre Street Furnival Street from Moorhead (here you can see the two sets of tracks converge into one, level with the overhead line mast, on the left between the car and the truck) Moorhead, looking towards Furnival Street (probably the reason why there were single tracks? Furnival Street was one-way from Brown Street to Moorhead..... makes sense) Tram No. 1, Furnival Street (ditto comments above - note the "NO ENTRY" sign) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
