vox Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 See Post #8 http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/i...ost&p=28800 Beaten to it then. Put the 2 pictures together and you can see why I need to stop snapping with my mobile can't you. Yours is really clear. Trouble is if I keep the camera in the van I'm bound to bust it or lose it. I lost one once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Not an advert but another name over a building, the second word 'shown in my photo' has been changed at some time. The first word in the full name 'not shown' is an area of Sheffield, any gusses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterside Echo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yes transit, whats the missing name then? I have studied that many a time from the top deck of the ?? bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yes transit, but the old word is TANNERY whats the full/missing name then? It's Meersbrook Tannery on Chesterfield Road. So would it be Meersbrook Buildings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It's Meersbrook Tannery on Chesterfield Road. So would it be Meersbrook Buildings? Yes vox, it is now Meersbrook Buildings. Stuart0742 pm'd me the correct answer, I'm sure that tsansit also knew it, and Waterside Echo having noticed it off the bus, failed to mention if he knew the original use of the building. There are a pair of name stones on the building and the tannery once owned by Francis Colley & Sons covered an area of two and a half acres. Chesterfield Rd, looking up Valley Rd.

DaveH Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well spotted Dave. I've never noticed one of those before, are they on all their streetview stuff? I have come across it on quite a few but they do seem to be quite discrete and unobtrusive, unless of course, as in this case, it is right across the particular bit you are interested in looking at.

I believe that would be the entrance to Hirst and Sweetings Coach company, think they became part of Sheffield United Tours, will stand corrected if that is all wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I believe that would be the entrance to Hirst and Sweetings Coach company, think they became part of Sheffield United Tours, will stand corrected if that is all wrong It has said "Coach Entrance" up there for many years. But what about that white bit in the middle that appears to be broken with a number 14 on it (the address? 14 Holme Lane?) Whats that bit all about?
