Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

New kit out soon. I'm a red stripe central kinda bloke but I'd go wi' this. Some what unbalanced, maybe an advantage as I feel blades will need any advantage for the coming season.

Building the hole in the road?

Building the hole in the road?

Looks like it, I think the hole in the road was completed in 1968? Photo must be 1967?

Wouldn't they be lower down?

They certainly would, Bert, from a slightly different angle. This photo dated 1967 making SB correct again with completion date of 1968.
These chaps were working on Walsh's expansion

Me an'all. Tram could have gone over it or been routed differently. Authorities just gave up on it sad, and I live in Sheffield.

All due respect BTL but Sheaf Market (Rag n' Tag) and Ponds Forge site are separated by Commercial St.

I think this dealership had to make way for the Meadowhead roundabout (late 60s?) and moved further towards Chesterfield (Whittington Moor?). I could be wrong about that but I passed this place regularly on my way to/from school.

Yes, when it was the Four Lanes End. Not sure when the roundabout was completed.

Stupid question where was it before they filled it in?

Struggling. I left Sheffield when I was 7 years old though, I remember being a child and walking with my Mum underneath the hole in the road. Maybe I dreamt it but she always used to buy me chocolate mice from a bakery underneath it (or perhaps it was near it).

95 bus from Intake into town and then for chocolate mice .

My knowledge of my home city is so bad!

Outside where the Bankers Draft pub is now...

Outside where the Bankers Draft pub is now...

Ah now you've said it I do see it. Why did they fill it in (I guess for the tram?), And when did they fill it in?

I think it was something quite unusual, so surprised they got shut of it.

More importantly, what happened to the fish?

Now you come to mention it, there was an aquarium there as well. Hadn't remembered that until you said it.

Xmas 1970, this photo brings memories of being in the car journey back from my grandmothers house in Hartley Brook Road on Sunday nights. On the journey back to Dronfield, you were able to drive through Fargate and the Moor
