RichardB Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Can't see this been posted before - forgive me if it has. Luckily didn't get used for it's purpose! http://www.germaninvasion.co.uk/townplans/index.htm Excellent post, the prospect of incoming Jackboots from Rotherham must have been a real and terrifying prospect.

madannie77 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 1903 Pawson and Brailsford Map Position of churches and schools. Contribution thanks to member George (POPPYCHRISTINA) I have just been browsing through these maps, and I note the presence of a tramway along Glossop Road from it's junction with Hounsfield Road to Broomhill: this can be seen on maps 3 and 4. This line was never completed: work started at the Hounsfield Road end and the tracks reached Wilkinson Street in 1902 before worked stopped. At the Broomhill end a junction from Fulwood Road into Glossop Road was installed, but no further progress was made. Wonder if there are any other phantom tramlines on any maps? I could be gone some time :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they used both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Later, later - MetroCentre (Gateshead) was about 1981. Well before MeadowHell/Crystal Peaks .. not checked, just a guess.

Stuart will know about Crystal Peaks as he lived out that way. I think Meadowhell was around 1990-ish, but as I hate the place I wouldn't know the exact date.

Guest plain talker Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Mad-as-hell was opened 1991 (*spits*) I'm pretty certain Crystal Peaks was open from about 87, definitely by 88 as I split with my ex in 1986, and was staying with a pal across from the crystal peaks complex as it was being built, until 1987. There was a market there by early 87, as we used to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Perhaps there's confusion between when it opened for business, and when it was officially opened. These things can be wide apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 This was the design for the Manor Estate dated before 1919. It shows things that never came about, such as lots of community centres, when only one was built. Lots of schools and the odd shaped road system at the back of the lower manor shopping centre that would become a circle! It also places the old farms etc which means you can pin-point where they would be on the completed estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
