boginspro Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Sorry if this picture has been posted before, if it has I missed it. The picture seems to ring a bell but I can't work out where it is and is that a sewer gas lamp bottom left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like a view of Mushroom Lane / Wentworth Street and Bromley Street, Bromley Street being on the far right. It could have been taken from the upper floors of the Winter Street Hospital.

madannie77 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 About here, then. Looks like the right place to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thank you both, I could kick myself for not recognising the place because I knew the area well many years ago, and probably would have recognised it from the wider view that madannie77 linked to. Two of my uncles (Broadhead) worked in a grinding hull to the left of the linked Picture Sheffield image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search Google maps for the bottom half of Mushroom Lane and you can see the hospital which still exists on the right but they have planted loads of trees opposite [ my how they have grown ] where the old houses of Mushroom Lane stood. At the bottom and over those trees is where Bromley Street stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukelele lady Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yes that's right, it's the Blythe Street I always forget about maybe because I never knew anyone who lived on there but for the surrounding street all my friends lived and we spent many happy hours playing ont wreck [ as some call Ponderosa ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
