Sheffield History Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Here's a view across the city from Kelvin Flats showing some of the buildings and businesses lost during Penistone Road widening. Do you remember any of the pubs, businesses or buildings that we lost during this road widening scheme? Am I right that there was a churchyard/graveyard there too?

Looks like The Lancers is boarded up, the St. Philips graveyard is the green patch with the bumpy wall around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - I was sure there was a graveyard. Whereabouts on the photo is The Lancers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposite the bottom of the graveyard, next to the modern looking office block think that was Geo. Clarke rolling mills, the end of which can be seen in your last pic.

tozzin Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 We’ve lost so much just for the car to get ease of travel, the councillors in the town hall at the time should have hung their heads shame, the oldest parts of the city, High Street, Cambridge Street, Backfields, Rockingham Lane etc are now a complete joke, buildings designed by Stevie Wonder.

Yes, and the traffic used to flow clockwise round it. At the far end you could turn right at traffic lights to go up St Philips Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Is this a stupid question but where is the church that belongs to the graveyard? Surely it can't be the one up at the top of Netherthorpe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The church stood between Infirmary Road and Penistone Road next to the graveyard. It was closed in 1940 and demolished about 10 years later: A very old thread on St Philips Church: https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/674-st-philips-church/ https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=53.39002&lon=-1.48012&layers=168&right=BingHyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
