More images of Sheffield trams.
My grandfather was a tram driver.
Remember the tram shed at the start of Shoreham Street.
Just wondered if anyone could place the images with no details.
Seem to recall the one with the Esso sign, wondered if it was beyond Endcliffe Park ion the way to Nether Green
Interesting the one showing passengers waiting for a tram stood in a marked out box on the road, would not fancy that today.

Sheffield had one of the best transport systems in the UK.
Great pity it was dismantled and privatised.

Daley and Bond were at Burnley in 1983-84 season. We lost 2-1 at Turf Moor that season

And what a cracking good match that was.

We didn't know what hit us at the start of the game, but ended up nearly getting a point.

Burnley had a pretty star studded side from what I can remember. A team full of players that had played at a higher level, like Willie Donachie, Gerry Gow, Kevin Reeves, Billy Hamilton, Tommy Hutchison. Can't remember if all of those played against us. But their wage bill must have been colossal by the standards of the time. I thought they were promotion certainties, however they seemed to fade away, and I think it was probably the cost of that side and it's failure to deliver that caused their much bigger problems a few seasons down the line.

Can anyone confirm if this is Meadowhall?

Notice the Brammall Lane in 1860, when did it change to Bramall Lane?

 

[vorpal blade]

1859 well at least, before there was a railway or a cricket ground, the OS thought the lane was spelt as it still is ......

 

[vorpal blade]

the map above was drawn in 1854

It's funny how when people misspell it, it is usually Bramhall Lane, never new it was originally spelt that way, I presume the family name must have been spelt that way but why change it?

Conversely, Bramhall in Stockport seems to have got its name from Bramall Hall.

The street was named after John Brammall who lived in the white house. Over the years one of the m was dropped off from the street name

I can't work out whether this is very unlikely or blindingly obvious, but would he also have been the person John Street was named after?

Did you check on whether Leppings Lane was originally called Betting Scandal Lane?

Wasn't it called Bronco Layne?

I think the original name was Whitehouse Lane before it changed to what eventually became Bramall Lane.
Probably ended up with one 'M' because of someone at the Council didn't know how to spell it...People often get the spelling wrong, even now.

I've always thought it was originally called Lemmings Lane, corrupted over time.

I thought it was originally Le Pigs Lane but some dozy Sarf Barnsley signwriter couldn't get it quite right...

I think you are thinking of Le Mingers Lane where the fat lasses of Wadsley Bridge would congregate and prostitute themselves to the local buck toothed simpletons for a tin of Simpkins Barley Sugar Drops.

Got to pull you up on that one.

Some of them don't have any teeth at all.

I would be pleased if you could remind me where Commonside is please.

i think that the brown patch of ground is where the Esso station was and the Springvale pub is the building that you can just see the edge of, on the right of the photo

Imagine how often people misspell Bramall Hall when it's located in Bramhall (well, sort of in Bramhall)

I'm talking ballcocks obviously. It's quite clearly in Bramhall now I've checked with Dr Google

Thanks for clarifying.
Looks from the map as if in the Crooks area, not one I frequented very often.
