PeterR Â Â 10 #985 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) The 34 and 35 both ran from the Reform chapel, one went to Pond St, and the other went to Nether Edge, on the return journey, the bus went down Crown Hill [Carlisle Rd] along Carlisle St, and up Upwell St to the Reform chapel to start the journey all over again. There is a photo of a tram at the bottom of Carwood Road, which used to be the terminus on picture Sheffield, I've copied the pic but have forgotten how to put them on here, but I will put it on the Grimesthorpe thread on Facebook if you want to see it. Â Hi skippy, Â I've searched Picture Sheffield but must have missed the tram you mention. If you'd like to let me know the pic ref number I'll put the pic on here. Â Peter.

Jean J Â Â 10 #988 Posted January 23, 2016 Hi skippy. hope you and Dor are both well. Only the 34 bus went to the Reform Chapel, then back along Carlisle Rd up Hunsley St on to Peter St back to town and on to Graves Park. The 35 bus went to the end of Peter St and reversed up Hunsley St then back on Peter St to town and then on to Hollythorpe Rise.

fleetwood   10 #989 Posted January 24, 2016 He stpetre - That's right you would catch the bus that left Reform at the first stop on Petre St going to town, it didn't always work but on some occasions it could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Upwell Hill and 'the Quarry' seem a long way round ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The 35 bus went to the end of Peter St and reversed up Hunsley St then back on Peter St to town and then on to Hollythorpe Rise.  I went to High Storrs School from 1958 - 1960. At that time I used to catch the bus on Petre st just around the corner from Botham St. I remember that if I caught one bus I would have to get off at Pond St, but if I caught the other one it would take me right to High Storrs. Obviously the routes have been changed since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
rf2690 Â Â 10 #992 Posted January 26, 2016 The trams ended on Petre Street in the 1920's and they only went as far as Carwood Road anyway. The buses -10-34-35- went to Hunsley Street or onto Upwell lane (Reform Chapel.) Thanks Stpetre,solved it or someone solved it for me,knew I went down Spital Hill on a tram in the 50s/60s but caught it at Gower st.The old grey cells aint what they used to be.Sheila.
