vox Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 That makes two, Stuart0742 & yourself. The first member to post the correct answer here wins a ragmans balloon. Also the name of the walkway would be appreciated, It's on the O/S maps. A link to my question .. here scroll up a bit Primrose Walk between 363 - 367 Abbeydale Rd (Please don't inflate the ballon as I'd like to save it 'till Christmas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Primrose Walk between 363 - 367 Abbeydale Rd (Please don't inflate the balloon as I'd like to save it 'till Christmas) The balloon is in the post, but due to possible strike action by the postal workers, there's no guarantee you will receive it in time for Christmas. A few photos of Primrose Walk. The first is at the Broadfield Rd end Bottom of Hale St. Near Abbeydale Rd And a Google SView showing access from Abbeydale Rd.

Stuart0742 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 As this as not been guessed as far as I Know Ill give you more clues Sheffield & Hallamshire Bank Boundry Now all you have to do is find which bank it is or was Sheffield & Hallamshire bank became part of Midland Bank So we have Church St, I have searched that area and can't find said plaque. Then the corner of High St/Angel St (now Weatherspoons) was that a Midland, and it has also been one of Busman's mysteries already. Where else has there been a Midland Bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else has there been a Midland Bank Well all the old Midland banks are now HSBC banks, and there are quite a lot of them. I'm told that HSBC stands for Hong Kong & Singapore Banking Corporation, but that can't be right as it would have to be HKSBC I once started a rumour that HSBC stood for "Have Some Bloody Cash!", which is the least likely thing they will say to you when you walk into their premises lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Don't think I did It ISNT central sheffield Just checked it Stuart, bus man never did say it was central Sheffield but we seem to have assumed that from a previous or ongoing similar mystery that this one has become tangled up with. There are loads of HSBC formerly Midland banks in Sheffield so we need a few extra clues to get the general location first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
