dennisgwild Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 On queens Rd where the Nettos was build now Asda used to be the tram sheds of Sheffield Corporation Tramways . above the entrance this was enscribed on a huge stone lintel does anyone know if this was ever saved when the sheds were flattened about 1990 Always seemed to be a stunning feature to be disguarded or were they saved like the city hall lions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960boy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think it was 'accidentally' damaged by the demolition team:suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bracken Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 ...apparently the stone artwork is incorporated in a wall at Kelham Island Museum !? Sure puts to shame the current facade to the retail park !!!... https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Queens+Road,+Sheffield,+United+Kingdom&hl=en&ll=53.369237,-1.46461&spn=0.000349,0.00071&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.495706,93.076172&oq=queens+road&t=h&hq=Queens+Road,&hnear=Sheffield,+South+Yorkshire,+United+Kingdom&z=21&layer=c&cbll=53.369185,-1.46463&panoid=uo3Y0Py_4pi490l5gC8qsg&cbp=12,179.72,,0,0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUTman Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I can confirm it is housed at Kelham Island Museum and is propped up outside but is visible through a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little malc Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Pleased to hear its been saved, I must admit I often wondered what had happened to it. It's an iconic bit of Sheffield history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianfbroad Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Does DenisGwild, remember the golden arm we used on the plant section? I bet simmo had reflections on one when a bus entered Greenland road the wrong way and he got out on the top deck 3 seats along and calmly walked down stairs and got off, did he ever finish them new lights? (Sorry to hear about Pecker) was a good leading hand and good bloke. ---------- Post added 10-04-2013 at 17:20 ---------- Hi Dennis, Ade again cannot send you a private message as I have not got 5 insertions yet So this will have to do. Like to meet up one day say in Gypsey Queen or Crystal peaks and talk about the old days, if you want, I have your number I will call soon to arrange a meet Would like to know we're Mick Froggatt is and is Jim Wilby still on the planet, saw Alan Ryalls a couple of years ago in B Q at Worksop he had put on a lot of weight but could not get to speak to him as he was on is way out as I was coming in.
