ukelele lady Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 This first image was taken January 1968 from the balcony of a first floor flat on Edward Street flats looking down Upper Allen Street.

Stuart0742 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 There you go ukelele lady What I want to know is, Why have they blocked this road at this point? I used to drive down there every morning until a few months ago. Just realised Sheffield Council found out it was a useful Rd. Anyway, great cars on the Then photo :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of one good reason for doing this, just a waste of our money. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Changed the Now photo, still not 100% happy but almost there, at least you can see Norfolk Bridge now Added a 1950's view to this Then & Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I think we were 1st with the idea http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sheffield-Old-New-J-...id=p3286.c0.m14 You are bidding on a used, good condition copy of 'Sheffield Old & New' by J Edward Vickers. This is the revised 1985 edition. ISBN 0 906787 02 5 Published by Applebaum Bookshop Ltd, Sheffield. The book contains 34 old photographs and corresponding photographs of the same scene in 1985 (which are starting to look like historical photos in their own right!) 1 bid (me, but not fighting for it) 1 day left.

No need for any of us to bid then, because if Richard gets it I can guarantee that there will be 34 new postings of 1985 then & now pictures in this thread soon after he gets it and the rest of us will get to see the whole book for nowt. Lets see Richard, 25 year copyright on old books, it was published in 1985, - that means you can have it on here by as early as next year for us all to see and no nasty legal problems either lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, great cars on the Then photo They did it deliberately just to stop you driving down there. It's a conspiracy Stuart, - Sheffield Council have got it in for us because we had the audacity to disagree with some of their policies and publically ridicule them on a well known local history web site. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Not got a clue, part 1. I'm dropping these couple of (recently purchased) postcards here in the forlorn hope someone can help identify the location and then someone ... Stream, rocks, trees ... from Jack to Miss B Johnson, The Poplars, Upperthorpe in October 1905 Attempts at transcription gratefully received; gets tricky down the bottom of the card (well it does for my eyes). [i may have posted letters to/from Miss Johnson ages ago on here (could they be on the "I got this"-thread ?); if so, I bought those in the late 70's, the postcards I bought last week].

RichardB Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Not got a clue, part 2. Second (recently purchased) postcard; here in the forlorn hope someone can help identify the location and then someone ... Lane, junction, tree, bushes ... from Sydney to Miss B Johnson, IOM, August 1907 Attempts at transcription gratefully received; should be easy.

SteveHB Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Could be anywhere, have you noticed the writing on the bottom of the view ? The second word looks to read 'DERBY' but could be part of Derbyshire, 'Calver Derbyshire' just a guess. Edit, had another go and the second word looks to read Derbyshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Seen this one before, I'm sure it's Wyming Brook. Could be the lower part of Padley Gorge, Between Grindleford Station and Fox House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you will like this view. It is a lovely spot is it not To me it seems idealistic of perfect solitude & peace. From the leafy grove of trees you can almost hear the soft "forelude" of the nightingale break forth, while the gentle zephyrs woft upon the ear, the low hymeneal chanting of innumerable insects What oh! I think I've missed my vocation, don't you? Kind regards from Jack. Edit: Sorry This applies to the part 1, one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
