Did you ever live in Parson Cross?

@ those photos near the Ritz, so clean and tidy looking way back then. Now it's just depressing looking, completely run down and dirty. It's the first time I've seen any old photo's of the surrounding area where I live, thanks for those pictures Unregistered. I may go down there next week and snap some modern day shots for a side by side comparison.

 

Oh, and hello everybody.

Hello.

 

I hope you take some snaps of the demolished houses, particularly

 

Wordsworth Ave/Deerlands Ave

Buchanan Road/Adlington Road

Buchanan Road looking up Falstaff Road and Crescent

 

I wish I had a camera.

...and don't forget to post a link to them ;-)

I feel much too cheerful - I need something depressing lol!

Supertram should be extended to Parson Cross.

I went out with camera in hand this morning to snap away, but when I got home to upload the photos were total junk, quality wise. Maybe some corrupt data on the memory stick, who knows, but I will try again later in the week.

 

 

So, here are a couple I managed to salvage running them through Adobe Photoshop.

This one is me standing on Collinson Road, across from Southey Green School, looking over to Launce Road.

This is still on Collinson Road looking at the remains of Falstaff Road and Cresent - the houses on Murdock have gone too.

 

Apologies for the quality. The retake shots will be better, I promise. I will also have more photos of all the areas.

I look forward to them.

 

 

I couldn't live in one of those isolated houses.

A couple for you here.

Supertram is a modern light rail system that runs on tracks alongside the roads - much like the trams of yesteryear.

It runs from City Centre to:

Meadowhall

Middlewood

Malin Bridge

Herdings (Gleadless)

Halfway

 

I think that's all except to say it's a superb system and ought to be extended city wide

I have noticed recently that many of the Sheffield buses follow a colour-coding scheme for the routes. I spotted “Olive Line” for Gleadless and “Claret Line” for Totley, so was interested in what colour Parson cross would be allocated - then I found out

 

“Brown Line”

 

I ask you…now even the bus companies have a bias against S5. How inspired are you to get on a bus which follows the Brown Line? Not very I guess.

Couldn't we at least make it Beige?
