Yes. Robin Hoods Bay.

I have a few cassette tapes of the programme from circa1965. I do not think the programme would be allowed on any of the main media stations now.

Is this of any help? Wicker railway station[1] (later Wicker Goods railway station) was the first railway station to be built in Sheffield, England. It was to the north of the city centre, at the northern end of the Wicker, in the fork formed by Spital Hill and Savile Street. It was opened on 31 October 1838 as the southern terminus of the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, which ran north to Rotherham Westgate railway station. In 1840, the line was connected to the North Midland Railway at Rotherham Masborough railway station. Carriages from Sheffield would be attached to North Midland trains for onward travel. A southbound curve was added in 1869. On 1 January 1847, a half-mile connecting line from the Wicker to the Bridgehouses station of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway had been constructed in order to increase goods traffic and enable wagon transfers. This short steeply graded line, enclosed within a tunnel for almost its entire length was known locally as the Fiery Jack.[2] Wicker was replaced as a passenger station by Sheffield Midland Station on 1 February 1870 when the Midland Railway opened a new direct route from Chesterfield to just north of Wicker, now part of the Midland Main Line. Railway workers refer to this route as the "New Road", as opposed to the "Old Road" of the original North Midland line. It has gradients of 1 in 100, a viaduct and three tunnels, including Bradway Tunnel, 2,027 yards (1,853 m) long. Wicker remained open as a goods station until 1965 and has now been demolished. The site is currently occupied by a Tesco Extra supermarket, having previously contained car dealerships and was, until 2006 when the Spital Hill / Savile Street corner was remodelled as part of the Sheffield

I would love to see some of your photos of the domestic housing in the Wicker.

Have you ever tried to make a horse do something it does not like? You can take a horse to water but you cannot make it drink, is an old and true saying.

I think that could apply to anyone or anything.

Plenty of pubs.

Some are very easily duped, billy

Loosing.

I my opinion it is a few propaganda photographs, to show his likes and dislikes of certain countries.

Why have you got to try to prove that you are correct in what you post, by, trying to make anyone who has a different view of things than you. I was referring to the things that I have seen in the past and what I see now but you only look at things as they are now, because you have not a clue about what life was then. Except probably what you have seen in the media. I agree that people and things should move with the times, if, they are able. As for you comparing the Supertram system with the tramway system the city had before, well. The thing I like about the Supertram system is it is clean and punctual. The old system was far more frequent and went to practically every part of the city, and, the last trams were as comfortable as most of the city transport we have today. Plus the fares were affordable to all.

When did you last see any of these things happen? My post was comparing why people used phone boxes yesteryear and not now. I saw a telephone engineer, this morning, either repairing or dismantling a phone box. Which I think is the only one left in that area.

I agree again, but not in a public one.

I agree, it can be seen almost everywhere after the weekend.

Please explain to me how Russia invaded Ukraine, when they were already the overriding military force in Crimea.

I do agree with some of the things you have said, but, are you also seeing it as a vibrant and prosperous city because it is to your taste? Because to me you could be describing the city through rose tinted glasses as you are accusing other people. I think that some of the things you said about the damage that was caused during the second world war is going a bit too far. I was around then and I can assure you and any other person on here that people were very glad to have the city restored, and go to work in the dirty factories .Some people were very happy to be able to go and telephone someone from a phone box, which is virtually impossible now, due to people in offices, thinking everyone has a mobile phone and a computer. Plus in this evolving city, do the planners ever need to go to a toilet, because I think they would find it very difficult to find a public one. Not so many years ago this city had one of the best transport systems in Britain, until our council was told by a certain P.M. to privatise the public transport. That is your idea of a better city, but, not mine.

Yes. Beddlington.
