Guest bogtrotter Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hi I'm new here and thought you may be interested in some photos I have found. This first one is 85, Penistone Rd taken in 1970 and one taken inside. Note the price of a bag of chips, 8d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems quite recent to me (showing my age now!) Got any more please? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bogtrotter Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 These next two are on Wood Grove Lane also taken 1970. The pigeon coops in the background stand out in my memory I used to love seeing them as a child on the bus into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markbaby Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 These two are views of building works on Cricket Inn road 1979 the Abattoir can be seen in the background. Thanks for sharing the photos. The buildings at the back of the new units on the Maltravers Road side belong to NDT Limited. I started working there in April 1977 and finish in a couple of days time. The two tone car in the car park (far right of picture) is my first car, a 1969 Wolseley 16/60 (same shape as the old Morris Oxford or Austin Cambridge). Here it is in it's better days! Park Garage on Derwent St. is still there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr stanley Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 "Present day" Wood Grove Lane. Most of what was Wood Grove Lane now lies under Penistone Road dual carriageway, the other bit under the industrial estate but remarkably the background seems very much the same just a lot more greenery.

dr stanley Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I like it! ......... now if you can change it to a Ford Corsair? I must have passed the end of this road hundreds of times on the No. 110/10 bus from Bridge Street but I cant remember it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsavo Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I like it! ......... now if you can change it to a Ford Corsair? I must have passed the end of this road hundreds of times on the No. 110/10 bus from Bridge Street but I cant remember it at all. Ford Corsair? Wasn't that the last Ford to have an electrical system that was positive earth and therefore corroded like mad? Lovely looking car, but when driven on salted slushy roads turned itself into a sort of reverse plating system which caused it to eat itself! Prefered the light blue'grey paintwork model myself! http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/28057/28...S600x600Q85.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
