orbs Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 is there one still on surry street at the side of the gents wc, right at the corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royh66 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Right lads and lasses, feeling a bit of a sad person, so what do you think of this suggestion. Let's make a record on here for Sheffield history of the position of as many of the old Police boxes we can remember and of course your stories in connection with them. Chippinghouse Rd jcn Abbeydale Rd o/s Post Office Near bottom of Sharrow Lane, just up from bank ( now restaurant ) set into wall of Sitwell House. Rivelin Valley Rd, bottom of Hollins Lane, side of river. Must have been dozens of them, some of you old ex coppers on here will probably locate many ! London road at junction with Thirwell road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidorry Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think there used to be one in Fitzalan square, and there was also one at the corner of Pinstone Street. Certainly one in Fitzalan Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandSax Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Smashing photo on picturesheffield.com of the box on the corner of Derbyshire Lane & Norton Lees Rd. I don't remember it, but my 'owd fella' does. This wasn't a nice neat 'Tardis' job it were a bl**dy big box that looked like it had been knocked up by some useless, mad D.I.T.'er! (That's 'Do It Thisen' fer any non-Sheffielder who may have happened on this thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
