Railway History around Sheffield


Texas

Recommended Posts

This was the Park Goods Station - it can be seen on this early 1900s map. A bit further away, just across the canal was the City Goods Station. Here's a link to a photo on the picturesheffield.com site. The warehouse towards the right is still there, on the canal wharf. Trains entered the City Station via a tunnel under Navigation Hill, adjacent to Bernard Road.

 

I remember playing in the tunnel just before it was blocked during the building of the Parkway into Central Sheffield in the early 1970s.

 

The tunnel wasn't infilled, the Eastern tunnel mouth was blocked with what we now call breeze block and then rocks and soil was piled up to to the tunnel mouth.
