Ah, the bus whistle. From what I remember, it wasn't just in Pond Street, but on High Street, where the "last, last" buses went from. Total panic if you heard the whistle and weren't on or very near your bus! Sheffield has never been a 24 hour city, pubs shut at 10.30, even on Friday and Saturday, last buses at 11.00. I had a mate who lived in Manchester (late 70's, early 80's) and was gobsmacked by official 11.00 or 11.30 shutting, and all night buses (for the brave or foolish!). ''Appeh days" though! Oh, and whilst we're reminicing, Wards was shite. Smelled like vomit, tasted slightly better. Drank lots though!

I recall the night buses went from Hight St at 0100 hours with the whistle being blown a couple of minutes before. The next bus was I think at 0320 the early morning the first timetabled bus of the day.

Last bus was 1.30, bail out of the Limit Club on west street about 1am, dash down to Fitzallan Square to get a bag of crinkle cut chips and then onto the bus with the rest of the drunks and ne'er do wells!

On the Monday (April 8th 1974) I left Sheffield. Disappointed that my last home game was that defeat to Coventry. No internet in those days so my only connections would be copies of the Green 'Un sent by post.

I think we beat Liverpool at the Lane in our next match. We had a very good team but just like today suffer from inconsistency.

Is that a UFO that has landed under the mono mini rail hover thing ?

What the hell is that and why have I never seen or heard of it before!?

The monorail never happened. It was a pipe dream of the 60s and 70s but it never got off the ground, so they filled in the hole and put a tram over the top of it instead. I can think of another hole a bit further north where that would be a good idea.
