madannie77 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Do you still have a mushroom then, lass! I think it is outside Boots Probably the Darnall branch, with the tram turning from the Main Road spur into Staniforth Road to head back towards the City.

madannie77 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Round about here then .. picturesheffield ================================================================= A Darn-all mushroom Reckon so, photographer standing behind the railings seen on the RHS of the picture Sheffield image. Couldn't think of a suitable riposte to the mushroom comment, which needled me for a bit as I thought you might have been trying to pull the wool over my eyes, but I now realise you are just a fungi.

Guest transit Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Best I could manage. There was a lot more traffic than I expected on a Sunday morning. Any further back put the top of a concrete bollard in the shot. Any further right put me in the road. Tried to wait for a tram but it started pi-- la--. Raining heavily. ....great pic , many thanks ! - i've also noticed that ,in these "then & now" pics of trams , even the overhead wiring is more "modern" albeit less noticeable !!! as this pic shows ! - i supose in a few years there will be no overhead wires at all ? - i am surprised "modern technology"is still the same overhead as it was 50 years ago !

At least one tram photographer liked this location, judging by the number of photos I've seen, looking both towards and away form the city.

Guest binsted71 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Same location different tram A bit of a then and then comparison, looks like they were taken very close together. Infirmary Road, opposite the Royal Infirmary. The junction with Bedford Street is on the right hand side just behind the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vox Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I knew it really Another easy one, should get vox out of his van Parked on the pavement Not as easy as I thought. The new trams are so long that the photo just looked like a tram and some roof-tops so I went for a bus instead. (Not literally) I'm not sure if the position is correct either. The new building is quite off-putting as far as gauging that is concerned. I've a feeling the shops in the original are actually gone and replaced by the new building, which means that my "now photo" should have been taken a bit further left. What think you?

Infirmary Road from the junction with Albert Terrace Road Perhaps you are right, that is you you should be a little to to the left. Perhaps the building to the left of the tram pole is the building at the right of the old photo. Other than that it has all the point of reference, Bedford St junction and the supermarket type building in the background. Not forgetting the most important bit your white van.

You were not far out `vox`. The DIY store was originally Wigfalls electrical and cycle shop, the Transit type van in your photo is about where the tram stop used to be. W/E.

Slightly left a bit and it is from Montgomery Terrace Road rather than Albert Terrace Road. I think that the 'supermarket' type building in the background is the post war extension to what was Blanchard's. It's now Wyndsor's World of Shoes.
