carosio   186 #3 Posted December 23, 2020 Thanks, I had actually looked at that on my search, but I know now it was the absence of the adjoining buildings that got me confused  The original photo was undated, but in the shot was a Mk 1 Standard Vanguard which wasn't in production until 1947/8.

Runningman   146 #4 Posted December 23, 2020 Looks like the Farm Buildings at the bottom of Granville Road. Once owned by the Duke of Norfolk and last used before demolition as offices for British Rail staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Runningman   146 #5 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Having had a look on the Picture Sheffield site, I am thinking I could be wrong. A look on the Picture Sheffield site makes me think it could be the Corn Exchange on Sheaf Street  That tram would appear to be coming up City Road and from the angle of the photo,  The Corn Exchange would appear to be the building in question .  Come on somebody and help us out !!

Runningman   146 #9 Posted December 23, 2020 Hi St Petre. Yes, quite right ! Not far enough up the hill to be on City Road  Does the building on the left look like a chapel ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
