Photos of Hyde Park and Park Hill Flats construction in Sheffield

Anyone got any more?

I'm interested in the stone archways/tunnels in the bottom left of this photo. I guess all of this in now under Park Sq roundabout?

That looks a popular street: it's crowded with people, and the nose-to-tail parking would still be quite unusual at that time (which, from the cars, i guesstimate as mid-1960s - the third one looks like a Ford Corsair which was introduced in 1963). I wonder what was going on.

It's Dixon Lane. It looks pretty normal to me, town was always busy like that on a Saturday. There weren't any  parking meters yet either . I hated it when I was a kid, you could get trampled going down there to the Rag & Tag.
