Sheffield History Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ok This weekend's challenge.. Where is this location and can you tell us what the buildings were ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transit Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Looks like halfway up/down Solly Street , - which is just up from West Bar police station . The red brick building looks like a a former pub and i think the whiter building may have been used as a aboxing/youth club in the early 80:s.

GrinderBloke Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I think it is somewhere along the banks of the Don, maybe Neepsend or Effingham Rd / Attercliffe area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transit Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Definately Solly Street ! The crane jib peering out of the roof was constructing the large new office/ apartments ? building recently built between West Bar police station and the Sytners BMW dealers .

THYLACINE Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Petre Street Methodist Church, link to picturesheffield Thanks Steve, I didn't know what it was, looks more like a factory or warehouse. Is it still standing and in use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like most of the Petre St area was redeveloped, link here to a post in forum Topic 'Methodist Churches' in Sheffield' gives a year of 1980.
