Wow a coincidence!

 

I was about to post a request for sites with archive pictures of Nether Edge from the last 100-200 years.

 

I'll try picturesheffield later to see if its there.

Sorry this isnt really what you want but its only a few yards short.

 

Can anyone help with any other sites please?

Or failing that places to try like libraries?

 

cheers

Hi,

 

A while ago someone posted some old photos of Hunters Bar roundabout. I've tried a search but I can't find them. can anyone help?

 

Hi,

I saved a couple of images of the roundabout and toll gate to my computer a few months ago before the Picture Sheffield site went down.

 

The first is a picture of the Hunter's Bar toll gate way back in 1884. It’s really hard to imagine it once looking like this.

 

The second was taken in 1950 from outside the tennis club on Ecclesall Road looking back towards the roundabout. It doesn't look too dissimilar from today - except for the lack of cars!

 

If you're interested, PM me your E-Mail and I'll send them on to you.

 

Cheers,

 

Pete
