Craig2009 0 #1 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Does anyone remember a petrol station behind the bus stop (Halifax Road), across from Wadsley Bridge Working Men's Club (where LIDL is now)? Been having an argument with family, I'm sure I remember it used to be a petrol station at some point in the past?

forgeman 18 #5 Posted January 18, 2020 I think Gallahers was where Lidl is now and the filling station was lower down where the mobility shop and others is situated. Also thought the filling station was Mobil but may be wrong or it changed to Texaco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
carosio 173 #6 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) In the 70s we were customers there, the pumps had large clock-style fingers indicating gallons and fractions of. Usually there was a nice lady attendant operating the pump. When Lidl was built they had to remove all the underground fuel tanks. Unfortunately on this pic the station is just out of shot. https://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s16736&pos=51&action=zoom&id=19436 Edited January 18, 2020 by carosio Add link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Chap BLADE 10 #8 Posted January 23, 2020 Believe there was a fatal car crash there involving a triumph stag that finished up on its roof on the forecourt of the garage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
