I was a bus enthusiast back in the early 1950s, when the Nether Green school bus was an old Crossley attempting to get up Coldwell lane in the snow...lol!

It was an interesting time when we had beautiful Corporation royal blue lining and cream base.

;) the 120 wouldn't have gone to Parsons Cross, as there is no such district. it's Parson Cross ;) (sorry, picky,)

 

I got as far as "97 (Nether Edge)" in my 2007 post (My goodness is this thread THAT old???

 

I forgot to mention the 100, which was the City Clipper.

The number 59 bus ran from Sheffield to Greenhill, passing through Greenhill village. I think the service was discontinued in about 1968. There was a number 122 bus which ran from Sheffield to Holmesfield via Bocking Lane & Bradway.

Back in the 70s

I remember the No 2 and No 59 buses going up and down Carterknowle Road, were they not the Circular routes ?

There was also a No 286 that went to Holmesfield via Archer Rd and Hutcliffe wood.

The No 24 was Totley to Brinsworth, and No 17 Totley to Attercliffe, there was also a No 26 to Beauchief.
