hilldweller Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 This is my brother larking about with his wooden ladder when he should have been painting and decorating. The picture was taken in 1963 but can anyone guess where it was taken? There's a clue in the background. 1963 -.png Neepsend Power Station in the background, base of tower block to the left, somewhere around Martin Street, Ponderosa area ?

ukelele lady Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Cuthbert Bank? Spot on Hugh, he and his workmates were painting the Cuthbert Bank pub as seen to the left of the picture while taking time out for the balancing act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 When my wife started teaching at Stannington in 1968 one of her newly appointed colleagues was from Somerset, and this was her first venture into the northern wilderness. One day someone asked her whether she liked Sheffield, and she said "I like it very much, but I do pity the poor people who live in those shanty huts above Penistone Road".

SteveHB Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 A little earlier ... Horse Bus at Shoreham Street - s15286 Prompted by Steves post, has this house been rebuilt, it certainly looks different to the others in the row Charlotte Rd.jpg View Larger Map No, I believe it hasn't been rebuilt, if you look at the picture with the horse and carriage the smaller roofline is the same, and the doors and the bay-windows correspond. it certainly looks as if it has been rendered, and painted, as well as a new roof, but it's the same house Like you say PT, here it is the house in 1890. 1890.jpg The wall seen in the background, behind the horse & cart is surrounding the gardens of Clough House. Charlotte Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Not in Sheffield but, to save starting another new topic -- Most people will have seen this Doncaster shop at some time or other. Working across the road this morning, so also the first photo-op for VOX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Aaa, that reit thier Tozzin. Another series on the horizon I'm told. Shooting has begun on another six episodes. To be honest I didn't reckon the one at Christmas. They seem to be going down the Last of the Summer Wine road, which ended up being dire. Best left alone I think. LotSW hit its peak with Foggy Dewhurst, and went down rapidly after he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that on Radio Sheffield whilst I was on the M18 on my way there that morning. I thought I heard them say there was a reporter there, covering some sort of meeting about the series, but when I arrived all was quiet. Perhaps I misunderstood, or as I wasn't there for very long, maybe it happened after I left. LOTSW - my thoughts exactly. It's the "Foggy era" for me. It was still just about ok until Bill Owen died, but then It was time to pack it in I thought. By that time Clegg was taking more of a back seat (because of his age I suppose). "Howard" was a brilliantly endearing character right to the end though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the same report, and if I remember correctly the reporter was chatting to people in the street (vox populi is it?) while he was waiting for the hair salon that's the shop where the outside scenes are shot to open. I'm probably mixing it up with the piece they did when they were shooting the Christmas one. They did definitely say they were doing six episodes though.

madannie77 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It looks like the bridge over the Great Central Railway at the bottom of Acres Hill Road in Darnall. Right hand side of Map 184 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 After much perusal Calvin72, I've been able to narrow it down to "over a railway" Somebody will know, just wait a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin72 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It looks like the bridge over the Great Central Railway at the bottom of Acres Hill Road in Darnall. Right hand side of Map 184 It is indeed! I was looking on google for the quickest way to the Industrial estate on the opposite side of the railway and was surprised to find a nice old railway bridge and not a concrete thing.

madannie77 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It is indeed nice to see an old railway bridge. I would have liked it a lot back in the days when Cravens Works & Darnall Engine Shed were alive & kicking. Before my time, unfortunately .

Guest Andrew Glossop Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Sadly the bridge is closed to cars now, they have put measures in the end to only allow cyclists over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
