A beautifully atmospheric photo of St. James’ Row
That picture looks like it could have been took from close to our old flat at 62 ropery row on the flats.
I thought it was the bottom of the Moor?Penistone Road, heading back into town fifteen minutes into the second half at the Rustbucket.
Whoosh SB?I thought it was the bottom of the Moor?
Yes that's definitely the bottom of the Moor around Xmas time. There used to be an outdoor Santa's Grotto every year. Funny I was thinking about this Grotto when reading that other post about the Co-Op's Santa's Grotto at the bottom of Ecclesall Rd. You can see the Grosvenor Hotel In the background and just make out Sharpe's of Sheffield fruit & veg shop.My first guess is the bottom of the Moor
Probably taken from a point that would now be under the Manpower Services Commission (that's how old I am) building

This is the same piece of land that had Jona the whale on show. Can you imagine that these days?? Dragging a giant dead decomposing whale around the country on an artic waggon and getting people to pay to see it for a night out!
Stating the obvious that it's a one way system and the traffic is due to the illuminations, there used to be some single story shops at the bottom of the Moor opposite the Travellers, I think Bunny's and an Army stores were there. Can never remember it being one way though.
St. James Row ?
I guess the British Railways sign may well date it to just after WW2 up to the mid 60s when it became British Rail
Is that Pollard's that was in or around Charles Street SEB? Did they have to relocate due to the development in the area?. I seem to remember once reading that they were one of Sheffield's oldest shops

That is, as far as I know, Charles St. As for redevelopment, I left the area 23 years ago, so quite a lot has been redeveloped.
The picture is the Pollards on the corner of Fitzwiliam Street and Glossop Road according to Picture Sheffield. When it relocated to town it was on the left side of Charles street going towards Pinstone street, so the slope of the road would have been the other way, if you see what I mean.Is that Pollard's that was in or around Charles Street SEB?

British Railways came into being in 1948.I guess the British Railways sign may well date it to just after WW2 up to the mid 60s when it became British Rail
