My nannan STILL has near 50 year old Co-op stamps floating around!

Imagine if we’d have kept, maintained and/or replaced the old trams and network. How unique Sheffield would be

Imagine how incredible Sheffield would be if any of the Sheffield Councils over the last hundred years had had a clue.

1958

Disgraceful that they demolished that, more disgraceful is what they replaced it with.

Loving the tram photos oaklandrdblade, if you haven't seen them already, a couple of books might interest you.
The first is "Sheffield Transport" by Chas C Hall, published in 1977 by TPC of Glossop (Sheffield Transport).
The second is "Sheffield Corporation Tramways" by Kenneth Gandy, published in 1985 by Sheffield City Libraries (Sheffield Corporation Tramways).

The original trams are before my time, saw the photos on FB and thought they'd be appreciated by many on here.

Thanks for posting them anyway mate, the photos are before my time as well (just ) but I've always had an interest in old transport.

I remember riding them as a child - we lived in Heeley Bottom and my Grandma lived in Hoyland Rd Neepsend. Mom used to take me and little brother there before going to work. I eventually attended Hillfoot junior school which was just across the road.

The trams were being phased out in 1959 just as I started senior school at Marlcliffe Intermediate near Hillsborough (now a junior school only). What a pain it was catching a bus in Queens Road outside the Earl of Arundel then having to change to the Middlewood bus at the bottom of Snig Hill (I always shuddered as the bus passed the pig-pen). It was generally touch and go wether I would make morning assembly and avoid a late detention.

The road between the tram and the bus is where a certain member on here got his name from while looking out of his office window

Cracking boozer that.My mate ran it for a couple of years,and one of my most vivid memories drinking there was watching England v Argentina at France 98 and having to sit outside for the penalties,because after 90 & 96,I couldn't face watching yet another penalty failure, and probably started the decline in my interest in the national team...

For years and years there was a tyre around one of the concrete bollards to the right of the shops,that is an excellent photograph.

The shop on the left became a video shop in the 80s. I hired from there quite frequently and they seem to have issues with wrong films in the boxes

Does it say what road it is SEB at Handsworth on the site you got it from ?

I'm guessing that the house on the left and the tram are opposite where the current Asda is,the photo taken from where the Parkway is now,maybe.

I remember walking by here at the crack of dawn on the Charlton QF day. Sun shining, and the front already packed with Blades sitting out drinking in front of the bedecked pub.

I was on my way to Francis Newton for a few cheap beers and a large All Day breakfast mind!

Long ago (71-77) when I lived on Clarkehouse Road I walked past here every morning and often called in on my way home.

Anybody know where its new name Doctors’ Orders came from?
