jiginc Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyone got any idea ? Back to backs and built on quite a hill. If you think that the other side of the houses on the left look like those on the right. That's Sheffield for you. Somewhere near the old Infirmary may be. jiginc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Otley Street? Off the top of my head I can't place Otley Street (I should have an old Shefield A-Z at hone and at work, but I don't); however, we've worked out it's near the Infirmary and we have provided a Map resource, I know where this Street was (roughly) and the Street name but I can never find anything on the Maps, maybe a Maps person can assist with a lst of maps surrounding the Infirmary area, particularly a place that was known by the name of XXXXXX while it existed - this and many other Streets were levelled to make way for the XXXXXX XXXXX.

RichardB Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 31 has it. The gentle curve is deceptive. not shown on the map; got to trust the photographer as to where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Judging from the map I'd say the original caption on the photo was incorrect; I'll accept any decent answer that matches the photo; then we can argue about it a bit (before I was born, just, probably ...)

vox Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 It's Kelvin Street - or just possibly Carnarvon Street . Whatever it is, by the lay of the land. I'd say it runs roughly parallel to Infirmary Rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 If it's Carnarvon Street it's not the part that's shown on map #31, there are too many houses in the L/H side of the photo for it to be. It may be the section that can be seen at the top of map #30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it runs roughly parallel to Infirmary Rd Carnarvon Street is correct (according to the photographer, who should know ... which is nice ...) Well done.
