vox Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Looks like the bottom of Furnival Street, looking up towards Moorhead. Central Case Company on the right. (PictureSheffield) Completely unrecognisable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Central Case Company on the right. (PictureSheffield) Completely unrecognisable now. When did the Central Case Co building go? It is there on Multimap (which I used to confirm the location of the tram), but has been swept away by something new on Google Maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Multi-Map image is that old, the Central Case Co building was some sort of bathroom/kitchen dealer then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went that way today and got this along with a few pub signs. I could have phrased it better, I suppose . Or perhaps the fascination with trams is beginning to affect my mind - there is a reason for the mad in Madannie! Great then and now again, vox: good to see the van in there.

madannie77 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I am certain this location should be easy to identify, but I can't get my brain to work properly at the moment - too many other things on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I am certain this location should be easy to identify, but I can't get my brain to work properly at the moment - too many other things on my mind. Seen that one before MA, and I never put it on here thinking it would be an easy one (no I don't know the answer) it will be interesting to find out what John Smiths PH is shown in the photograph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so identifiable, with the pub and the crossover, but it is eluding my befuddled brain at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alexander Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sorry - cant help with the location - but as for the tram , 536 , this was THE very last tram to be built /delivered to Sheffield back in 1952(before the re-introduction of Supertram) and was one of the 36 (501 to 536) publicly loved "Roberts" style models. Although very modern and stylish at the time, there was disbelief and sadness when they were scrapped with the abandenment of the tramway system back in 1960 , when trams like 536 were cut up for scrap when approx only 9 years old! In comparison the Supertram today is around 14 years old! Fortunately sister trams 510 and 513 wera saved for preservation and can be seen at Crich and Beamish 536 was built by Charles Roberts of Wakefield but only 502-536 , 501 was built by Sheffield Transport Department at Queens Road .
