GrinderBloke Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Not a great photo, show SYPTE buses on Commercial Street with the old gas showroom, which by this time 1980ish had become a nightclub, the name completely escapes me If I can get the scanner working properly I will improve the scan and repost. Can anyone recommend a decent light box for viewing slides and negatives, I loaned my rather posh battery powered flat cool (doesn't warm up the film) jobbie to a friend and I cannot raise him on the phone now I need it Looking at load of negatives and slide in natural light is hurting my neck and I want to get stuff posted.

Guest transit Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Superb shot of the main bus stop to and from Rotherham for Sheffielders - route 69 , on Commercial Street. This view now obscured by Ponds Forge leisure complex. Even the drab SYPTE bus livery seems rather nostalgic . The nightclub is currently a Chinese restaurant after undergoing restoration during 90s.

Guest plain talker Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The nightclub was called "Turnups" advertised with the dreadfully cheesy jingle, that was played on Radio Hallam which went :- "Turn up at turn-ups... to- night!" The photo has intrigued me. I had forgotten that he shop which is now jessops photo/ camera shop was a building society! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Angus Prune Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Recon its before 1976 anyone got any other ideas of a date The bus on the far right looks to me like a "DM"-style Daimler Fleetline, which would date it any time after about 1975.

Guest transit Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The bus on the far right looks to me like a "DM"-style Daimler Fleetline, which would date it any time after about 1975. The DMS style Fleetlines were delivered in 77 and several carried a large Royal Coat of Arms fibreglass crest mounted below the windscreen to commemorate the Queens silver jubilee that year. The bus on the far right does"nt look new ,convincing me the photo was taken around 1980-81 as MrG says at the very beginning of this post. All the buses also carry the newer revised name/logo above the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
