Stuart0742 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Great finds Steve, fantastic The original title of this topic is "What Ever Happened to Bunghay St" Looking at the present development, perhaps it should be "What will happen to Bunghay St" Had a walk past today, I don't think phase 1 of the development will alter Bunghay st, but what of future developments.

MadMick Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Ah the good old Bungay. As a resident of Park Hill this was a favourite hill for sledging in the 60's. Was difficult to stop yourself careering across the road at the bottom though. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was difficult to stop yourself careering across the road at the bottom though. Great memories. At least if you did go over the road, there was a decent brick wall to stop you How much traffic was there on Granville Street in the 1960's, I remember playing football on the grass near the railway footbridge in the late 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 At least if you did go over the road, there was a decent brick wall to stop you But should you go through or over that wall you are straight onto the railway track directly opposite platform 8. If you time it right you could land on a train for a free ride to London St. Pancras. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alby Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Some great information here. I was born at no. 22 Bungay Street in 1946 and lived there until 1953. I have never been able to get hold of a photo of the street as it then existed so this is wonderful. In addition I have very fond and vivid memories of the place. Despite it's slum conditions it was a smashing community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin72 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I had a poke around this site last week. It is an interesting area and i was unaware of the history until i read this thread a few months ago. The street surfaces are still intact but are they original? They seem to be and i found a drain near the bottom next to the tram which was in bad shape but was recognisably from c.1870-1880. It would be nice to see some information about the neighbourhood on display at the 'ampitheatre'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Is this Bungay Street behind the station ? Link to SH topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alby Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Is this Bungay Street behind the station ? Link to SH topic. Very good photo. I think you're probably right - the line looks as though it marks out Bungay Street. How unfortunate that photographs of these old streets were not taken before they were demolished. I still hold vivid memories of the street(s). I remember the walk along Norwich Street to the old Park School. My grandparents lived on Lord Street.

I remember the walk along Norwich Street to the old Park School. My grandparents lived on Lord Street. I had a go at replying to this post a few mins ago, but caught something on the keyboard and my reply disappeared. My apologies if it turns up on here and this present post appears as a repeat. Anyway, back to what I wanted to say - my grandfather Tommy Crawshaw, ex Wednesday Captain, lived on Lord Street throughout his career with Wednesday. He went to the Old Park School, on the corner of Lord Street and Norwich Street.. He was born a few streets away on Park Hill Lane. The first picture was taken not long after the Park-Hill flats were built, showing the line of Norwich Street running alongside the school and through the gap in the flats, to South Street, which is still there. The second picture was taken a few weeks ago from about the same spot as the 1st one. The school would have stood in the right foreground. Such a pity it was knocked down. It was built from solid dressed sandstone throughout and would have made a grand community centre if nothing else. Did your grandparents ever mention that Tommy was a neighbour of theirs on Lord Street? Do you know if they would have lived there at around the same time - up until the 1st world war? All the best.

Despite being classed as slums some of the buildings were quite beautiful. And theres not a piece of litter to be seen, suggesting even the poorest of Sheffields people had pride and self respect.

I've renewed the link address to the Park slum area film because the one above didn't work for me somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
