Stuart0742 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Having just had a look on Google Street View, it should make a very interesting then and now. Fantastic, I did not think anybody would get that one, back to the drawing board, see what I can come up with. By the way I had no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I dont't know where this tram shot was taken? Did we agree a location for this one of Steve's Link back to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Did we agree a location for this one of Steve's Link back to post Don't think we ever did - transit and myself made suggestions, but nothing was really decided. Having looked at it again, I can't really think of anything to add to my suggestion that we are looking away from town near the junction of Attercliffe Road with Royds Mill Street.

Stuart0742 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 What about this one, should be straight forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 What about this one, should be straight forward Handsworth Road looking away from the city, near the crossover at the bottom of Map 140, ie between the junction with Clifton Cresecent and where the Parkway now cuts across.

Waterside Echo Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Any thought on the location of the photo? 1920s, but should be easy. W/E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Even I can work out the next one Beauchief tram terminus, at the junction of Abbeydale Road South and Abbey Lane. Fooled me for a bit, being taken looking the opposite way to most photos taken here. The tram is waiting to turn left into Abbey Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest binsted71 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 1920s, but should be easy. W/E. Looks like Exchange Street looking toward the 'old' Town Hall/Law Courts. Norfolk Market Hall on the left and the building which preceded the Castle Market on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it say on the garage sign, can't decide myself Use of my low-tech magnifying glass shows that in view the upper line of letters is GAR, the lower is FUNERAL DIRECT, suggesting a combined service station and funeral directors!

madannie77 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Where is this location Bridge Street, looking towards the Exchange Brewery from the West Bar end of the street (is this bit actually Coulston Street?). The photographer must be very close to the point at which the tracks diverge to West Bar and Snig Hill, as can be seen on Map 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 This one may be a little harder than the last I think it is Eccelsall Rd looking towards the city centre, Summerfield St on your right and "The Star" cinema to the left Map 273 Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not Summerfield Street on the right (to be a tiny bit fussy), and what is the building in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean but: There isn't room to get Summerfield St on the street sign and the awning looks like a tram stop to me. Also there are a lot of chimneys on the buildings on the right hand side which don't seem to be on this Picture Sheffield photo. FROM WILLIAM STREET Just being devils advocate. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The street sign on the right is clearly long enough to fit Summerfield St on. What I describe as an awning (perhaps canopy would be a better word) looks like an awning (canopy) outside the cinema in this photo, to the right of the rear tram. It is also clearly further away fromt he camera in the original photo, the stop being marked by both the stop sign and the two white bands on the pole.

See this crop of the original Definitely a cinema not a tram stop As to the street sign, hard to make out but I think there is a "double MM" there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
