DaveH Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 This photo is of one end of a fairly long walkway/footpath, it does have a name. Where is it and what's it called? A walkway or footpath? It is gated for security at one end and is clearly wide enough and tall enough to drive a vehicle down. It looks more like a private (because its gated) access road to, for example, a works yard or business unit. Is it only open at certain times? I don't suppose your going to show us a picture looking the other way, showing the other end of walkway as an extra clue though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's described as a footpath or walkway It looks like a private driveway It has a NAME as though it was a proper street. All a bit confusing :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the extra clue there Steve, it confirms what I was saying Its a public walkway, it is also private property and it has security installed Still no idea where it is though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps, ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 That's not London Road in my photo. OK, so its NOT London Road IN YOUR PICTURE But is London Road at the other end, behind the photographer? You were sort of "cagey" and guarded in this reply to Stuart so I think there may be something in this London Road idea. Does it for example run from London Road towards Cliffe Street / Cemetry Road area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has been posted before, I took it for the date-stones topic, but will post it here 1st I still haven't got a clue on Steves mystery walkway. OK, foundation stone, laid by the Lord Mayor in 1928 So a public building in Sheffield which opened late 20's or possibly early 30's (depending on how long it took to build and get open) Not really narrowed it down much as quite a few Sheffield buildings date from this time.

DaveH Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Not a police building OK then, how about a law court, a prison (has Sheffield got one?) or a place of justice. Just something generally to do with crime and punishment perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 No crime or punishment at all OK then, with a police officers name on how about a building that has to be licenced by the police for some purpose? A public house / bar / gambling casino / betting premises / dance hall / concert venue... that sort of a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
