Sheffield History Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Petre Street pictured in the 1970's Does anyone know exactly where this is that we're looking at and what road that's coming onto Petre Street here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I think we are looking at 164 Petre Street, at the junction of Lyons Street. 1950s Map 91 looking from the north A couple of doors along is the post office with a letter box outside. The post box is still there, but everything else has gone. From Google Streetview 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Great detective work! Such a strange thing that the post box remains when there is no building or activity close by to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddy Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Harry Hodges dozer driver Paddy Lyons pushed a concrete cap off an old pit shaft just beyond that post box, would have swallowed his dozer. I was later stuck with the job of creating the humps for the landscaping at the side of the road with a Hymac excavator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
