BobN Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hi Paul,, The sight of this menu prompted me to dig out my copy of the Last Tram souvenir published by the Star on 1st October 1960, and look at all the great photos of the era of Sheffield trams 1873 to 1960.

Paul Worrall Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi Bob and Steve, Thanks for those Postings. It's over 60yrs since that fateful night in October 1960 but those pictures brought back a lot of childhood memories. Cheers, Wazzie Worrall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transportphil Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 What was a bus showing "2 Elm Tree" doing on Abbeydale Road near Broadfield Road. This was the Outer Circle route and only touched Abbeydale Road briefly after descending Carterknowle Road and then turning off almost straight away up Woodseats Road. Was there a diversion on or was the driver lost?? Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember working something like that on part day duties, and picking up loads of school kids on route.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I've still got mine, too. But I wonder who still has a bent penny (if you have, you'll know what I mean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put six inch nails on the tracks and fashioned miniature swords out of them, they looked great to our eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
