Guest poppins Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 My sister in sheffield has a large painting in her home of a walkley tram on south rd, the trams making it's way up the hill, comming from weston park, it's a great picture.

Ousetunes Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I remember Barber Road being dug up to insert a sewer, gosh, when? ten years ago I reckon and the tram line was exposed in the process. This was at the junction of Bower Road and you can see where the road was relaid, it still looks quite new. Unfortunately, the engineers cut through the line in order to insert the new sewage pipe which I thought was sad. I find there's a strange romance in those old tram lines still lying buried beneath the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all4_ofus Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I don't know when they were removed, but my grandfather was the foreman in charge of laying the tram lines, ineither crookes or walkleyI have a newspaper clipping of it somewhere Originally posted by Scarrott Does anyone have any information about when the tramlines to Walkley were removed. We are currently in production of a book about the history of Walkley and any information about this would be greatfully received. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
