It looks like it would have been pretty brutal. Doesn't look like it would have fitted with the railway line at Myrtle Bridge. Maybe gone over it all?

1969 plan for rebuilding Sheffield. Pretty hefty looking flyover at the bottom of Bramall Lane and a multi storey car park next door...

In the late 1960’s Sheffield Council had a number of ‘exciting’ and ‘futuristic’ plans for the modernisation of the city .

One of these , which came perilously close to being implemented , was to compulsory purchase and demolish virtually the whole of Walkley in order to construct a development based on the Kelvin flats , but on a much bigger scale .

These monstrosities were built at a huge cost and , having had fortunes spent on them in maintenance , were demolished in less than 30 years .

Thanks to few brave and determined souls , this potential calamity was avoided and does not appear on the long list of fuck ups which our local politicians have been responsible for over a very long period .
 
1959 Cup Semi at Hillsborough. Forest and Villa. Note the North Stand, prior to the Cantilever. The standing area to the left remained for a number of years after the stand was built. Roy Dwight is in the picture, he broke his leg in the final.The first final I can really remember.
