There was a Tank at the end of Warren Lane Chapeltown but is no more,it has mysteriously disappeared.and nobody knows where!

Apparently it has been sold to a collector for restoration

Maybe the new company that have built on the site know where it went to!

remember this tank would it even be possible to restore

remember this tank would it even be possible to restore

Of course, if the guy has plenty money it would be relatively easy to restore it to running condition.

To answer the original question most A22 Churchills were built at Vauxhall's Luton plant but many were assembled elsewhere including at Sheffield.
The earlier A20 was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast.

In the book (Sheffield: Armourer To The British Empire) there is a photo of a Churchill tank on page 110, the caption states, The Churchill tank that stands on a plinth at the site of Newton Chambers' Chapletown tank factory. (D.S. Dalton). The tank looks in good condition but the photo is not dated.

It was sold to a collector for restoration. It was driven up on to the plinth originally, the sump plug removed and revved 'til it siezed. Restoration should be relatively easy.

here guys why not have your own sheffield tank lol been thinkin of getting one myself for the front garden
