Yes near enough, it’s Reford FC
The Kop as you will probably know is a view from the main road. I think now they are playing in the North East Counties League, which is above Retford United who I think are Central Midlands League, how interesting is that🤓

Don't know the area that well, do they actually play in Retford? I believe they are in the same league as Hallam FC

The shell of the building remains - as part of an architectural award winning development.

42 bus in picture as well. Memories fading a bit but think 42/53 was the bus I used to get after the match early 80s back up Chesterfield rd then walk down Woodseats rd.

Tram shed, thanks for that snippet of information, I was never aware or even thought of it as such, but it is so obvious once pointed out.
Good photo as normal, particularly the inclusion of "Sipping Bull" which enhances what would have been a rather mundane picture.
Where's the book?:)

That's an interesting comment you make there about a tram shed, XM657.
That's exactly what I thought - indeed, I actually scribbled " old tram shed?" on my note on the back of the photo at the time.
However, today, just before posting, I thought I'd better double check on t'internet and could find no reference/image anywhere to it being a tram shed. It seems it has always been just a "Victorian industrial premises".
I'm (maybe) sure I've seen an earlier photo or info in the distant past proving it.....perhaps, possibly.....
As for your "book's" continued encouragement, I genuinely thank you. I actually did get another book about some urban Sheffield walks finally published a few years ago using the traditional publisher route. It took me 16 years to reach publication so it's kind of put me off trying again, and I'm not up to speed with this modern internet, self publishing malarkey now either. Maybe I'll try again, although another 16 years is perhaps pushing my luck...let me think about...:)

My understanding is the old Leadmill Rd tram shed was there during the 1st WW as my maternal grandmother was a 'clippy' on the trams in that conflict. Therefore if the Premier Body Building Co. building was a tram shed it must have been built before the 1st WW and after 1905 or was it 1902 when electric trams were introduced. The high door seems to indicate electrified trams, as the building, single story, to me, says tram shed.
Good to hear you've done the book thing, well done, but I think your photo collection, when the time comes, should at least be left to the people of Sheffield in some way, it is unique.

'Old' Harry Johnson instrumental in the establishment of my first cricket club Whitley Hall. His son Tom was my schoolmate's Grandad , his other son Harry knew where the onion bag was.

Extremely interesting, on more than one level. Thanks for that.
Pretty much scuppers the "tram shed" concept, seems the building was there long before electric trams and maybe before horse drawn ones. 'Hay ho', following the blades brings built in disappointment so no sweat.
