The cholera monument was near Claywood Flats here is one of my photos of it.
Looks like a church spire right on the horizon to me.
Might be an idea for the Council to erect a Covid monument next to it once this pandemic is over, if it ever is.
Not ranmoor church is it.
Or if its towards Skye edge,fitzwalter rd church
I thought about that but I think Ranmoor Church isn't far enough up the hill, and possibly a bit too far away in the suburbs.
No, Cemetery Road is to the left.
On street fights, we use to go to Sheff most Saturday nights in the summer 6 o clock Dearneways and home around 2 am. Early 70s no idea what street it was but deffo outside Wimpys burger bar( if anyone can remember it ). One almighty street fight must have been 15 to 20 having a reyt go at each other, police roled up and just stood watching them leather each other , went on for a good 5 minutes. Finally took the last 3 or 4 standing and left the others laid around. If I ever see owt related to Wimpys brings back that memory. Proper entertainment and all with fists and boots, no stupid weapons.Bad memories for me ,me and my mates had a fight in an Indian off West St across from Nirmals about 1980 ,it got out of hand and the kitchen staff got involved and the coppers came ,we ran off and one copper decided I was his prey ,I legged it into the flats and hid on a balcony for about an hour until I couldnt hear anything. The minute I came out 2 coppers were waiting and nicked me. Trumped up charge of criminal damage a night in the cells, £40 fine a few weeks later in the magistrates court
There was a Wimpys on the Moor near the top and one near the Market opposite BHS ,I would imagine it was that one , could be Rockers or pissheads from the Hen and chickens or Cannon although they didnt usually have mass brawls mainly one on ones.
Im sticking with Lydgate lane transmitter due to the greenery ,lack of tower blocks or water tower and its the top of a hill.
Wimpey on fargate maybe.
Forgot that one , Wimpeys were so much better than Macdonalds are.
We still have one in Horsham...and no McDonalds. Old skool.
It looks more like the top of a church spire to me, possibly Ranmoor?
Wouldn't you see hallam Tower Hotel?
Change Alley , Milk St and the bottom of Norfolk St now know as Esperanto Place. Would have thought it could have been given a more Sheffield orientated name. The name of the foundry which stood on the Odeon site I believe would have been more appropriate.
It was the site of Joseph Rodgers and sons, cutlery maker. There is a small plaque to the right hand side of the Mecca bingo hall entrance commemorating this fact
Could it be in an easterly direction? Maybe All saints church above Petre st.
You can just make out Hallam Tower on my photograph of Broomhall Flats.
Thanks for the info, I really must get out more.
The church at Ranmoor, I think. The transmitter would be further north west (to the right of the pic).
Depends on the angle and perspective of the view. I'd say it's hidden behind the sign.
There have been a number of photos of Park Hill taken from Hyde Park Flats, often from this vantage point. I took a similar one in 1969 some years earlier. You can see our house on Long Henry.
