Lyn 1 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I have a old family photo of a couple who had links to Sheffield & Leeds. Can anyone see anything that says it is Sheffield on this photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 What looks like a tram should be a clue, others more expert will know but to me it doesn't resemble a Sheffield one. If someone could get a clearer image of the destination would be a giveaway. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn 1 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thanks I scanned in at 600 but it is not good photo to start with. I know this couple met in 1914 approx and fled to Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 My guess (not being a tram afficionado) is Blackpool, the vehicle is an English Electric Tram, number 204, photo here: 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysanderix Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The photo is very reminiscent of one taken by a street photographer…popular at seasides. They gave you a ticket and if interested you went the following day to collect the souvenir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn 1 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Ah could be. Never thought of that but I do know they did holiday in Blackpool in the late 1930s. Both abandoned their partners and children to later marry and have a new family. Many thanks to you all especially Edmund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
