Greybeard Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I travelled from both in the 1950s and the only shop I remember was the newsagents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpm Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Here is a picture (from picturesheffield.com) of Platform 1 at Midland station in 1900 ! I don't think it had changed a great deal by 1950. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kidorry, To put a photo on this site you need to : 1) Download it to http://photobucket.com/ - if you are not already on it you will need to register first 2) When its on photobucket put your curser on the photo and you will see a number of boxes appear underneath. One says IMG code at the side of which is a box inside which is IMG in brackets plus other letters; left click on that box and it should turn blue; then right click and copy. 3) Paste the copied code onto your entry on this site. Others will then see your photo. It may seem a bit long winded but its really fairly quick and it works ! Good luck ! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
