Sheff-lad Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I recently bought 'Sheffield: Emerging City (1969)' on how post-war rebuilding was going and what they planned to do for the future, which other than being a brilliant book, revealed old plans as they were in mid-flow. I was reading it and found in their overall plans that there was a side-plan to relocate West Street at the junction with Fitzwilliam Street via Broomspring lane, creating a new junction on the ring road where Hanover Street becomes Upper Hanover street. I wondered if anyone knew anything more about where this road would go or if anyone had any more details of the plan or whether it was just a brief side-note on the diagram. It also shows that (as originally planned in 'Sheffield Replanned (1945)') there would be another street or entrance way to the city along Wellingon Street which again is nowhere to be found. Photos attached, any information would be greatly appreciated. - I wonder if it would join Glossop road near the Hallamshire and be a dual carriageway along Manchester Road. The overall plan in two parts for the A61(M.) The area in question With the routes highlighted The diagram from 'Sheffield: Emerging City (1969)' The new street along Wellington Street as seen in 'Sheffield Replanned (1945)' And again from another angle And here as part of the overall development map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey1889 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 That's a fairly hefty flyover junction at the bottom of Bramall Lane. Also looks like they planned a multi storey car park at the Lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
