boginspro Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Crookes, the tracks to the right go up Pickmere Road to the tram sheds. Also School Road to the right which was shown on destination blinds, a terminus for short runners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickmere Road is still there, but I think that direct access from Crookes is now blocked off, and of course, the tram-sheds are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tramways Department had snowploughs which concentrated on the tramlines. The Highways Department then followed up - in 1922 they had 40 lorries, 12 horse scrapers, 3 machine brushes, several horse brushes, and up to 800 men, supplemented by men on "relief work".

History dude Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 As far as Sheffield is concerned the public transport routes are always cleared. It's just the side roads that never see any grit. This picture doesn't seem to show any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
