'The Rifle Range' in Sheffield..

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

Just wondering if anyone knows where this may be.

 

My Dad grew up around the Shiregreen area, when he was a kid, as a family they would go to somewhere which was locally known as 'the rifle range' blackberry picking. They didn't walk it, they went in the car. There may have been trains running underneath as there was a kind of chimney coming out of the ground to let the steam out.

 

Any ideas were this could be?

sounds like the old army shooting range at Totley, with the Totley tunnel underneath. I,ve shot there myself years ago. don't think it's a shooting range now though

Wharncliffe Woods, not far off Jaw Bone Hill if I remember rightly.
