Is that the one at Aughton?
Used to walk down Orgreave Lane past the Hall and through the pit lane and join the track to Treeton then onto Treeton Grange where I was working in my first job back in 1972.

The Four Lanes, now Meadowhead roundabout.
King Street.
Get your clobber in Hornes?
Interesting.... kindred spirit??
I recall three floors (G, 1, 2) in the Strowger days. I spent 3 months just bank cleaning group selectors on the top floor when I was a GPO "Youth".
I returned many times as a construction engineer in later years. On this occasion, I seem to think I was on the roof, fitting the hoist ready for a rack lifting session. But my memory has been known to lapse now and again.. so, maybe not.. I guess it's all changed inside now anyway.
A mutual friend who used to work for Whitbread had a similar solution using a forklift truck when more free beer was required.I worked at the Bassetts distribution warehouse rather than the factory (in the 70s). We had a table, upon which damaged boxes of sweets, which could not be sent out to shops were placed. We were free to help ourselves to this damaged stock. Natch, when those ran out, we just got the forklift driver to run into another pallet of boxes & damage some more.
The Carrier Bag Firm, bringing you solutions, not problems, since the 1970s.....
That looks like the cast from Monty Pythons re-enactment of Pearl Harbour by the Sheffield Town Womens Guild as shown elsew here on here.
Wouldn’t Wards be on the right of the photo? I assume the tram is running along Saville Street In front of Wards.
Which way is which? What corner is the Norton onThe Four Lanes, now Meadowhead roundabout.
Did you read the report in every paper before you delivered it?Great photo. Bocking Lane, Westwick Crescent, Hemper Lane, Road behind the photographer to Lowedges estate. Road up to the right up to Greenhill village and the White Hart and White Swan pubs.
The main building on the opposite side of the traffic island was Mitchell newsagents. I used to do my paper round from there. The white door to the left hand side of the building was like a garage where we picked up our papers in the scruffy Star bags.
I did Old Park Avenue and Old Park road. Newspapers were always late delivered on a morning after a Blades night match due to me taking my time reading all the reports.
Usually got a bollocking and late for school.
From Sheffield to Dronfield, Norton on the left.Which way is which? What corner is the Norton on

Bet the bollocking was from your mum for getting newsprint all over the flannel and towel after washing your hands when you got home.Most newspapers carried a report. The Sheffield Telegraph (or Morning Telegraph as it was known) always carried a lengthy report. Benny Hill (not the comedian) was often the reporter. It was a broad sheet and made it difficult to open, read and then put back together as if it had come straight off the printing press.
I look with great interest and pride at all these pictures of the east end of Sheffield, and today it just reinterates the old adage that Maggie Thatcher decimated the steel industry where Hitler failed.View attachment 79271
I think this is a different picture of the same place. Saville st from the Wicker.
Tommy Wards to the right, in the background I'm going for Firth Brown Norfolk bar mill with Melting shop beyond that.
Please SEB, could you not post any more pictures with snow in them. Hate the stuff.
Loved reading the blades report in the Morning Telegraph on a Monday.Most newspapers carried a report. The Sheffield Telegraph (or Morning Telegraph as it was known) always carried a lengthy report.
