SteveHB Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 My guess, from Broughton Lane rail bridge looking west. Flash Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 My guess, from Broughton Lane rail bridge looking west. Flash Earth That was my 1st thought, but don't think any of the landmarks still exist to verify this. Where was the BOC depot at Broughton Ln? does anybody know.

Guest bus man Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 This MAY NOT be in sheffield it says ditton - Broughton Lane tanks , so there for it could be on route, looking at track layout i wonder if it is elsewhere . Although that brick building looks familiar, but the pylon looks out of place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickdioxide Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I agree that this view is from Broughton Lane Bridge-now demolished. The railway layout here parted to pass the platforms under Broughton Bridge. The steelworks are in the right places The pylon is correct The grass bank between the canal and the railway is correct. The blue doored sheds belong to the COOP The scrapyard is on the site of old sidings The shadows support a west view The BOC plant was under the bridge and on the north side beyond potatoworld (Lomas) the pipes to Tinsley Park had to cross the railway and the canal.
