aalan79 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I am hoping to get clarification about the railway connection to the Parkway Market. Am I right in thinking that the only place the Parkway Market has been located, since Castlefieds Market was closed, is the present site adjacent to the railway line behind Costco, and not anywhere else in Attercliffe. I have the idea that produce was brought into the market by train over the railway flyover line which was used by steam engines coming onto the engine sheds. Nothing to do with the above, but I do remember going to Castlefields market with my Dad in the 1940's when he had a fruit & veg shop in Dinnington. Back in that time I believe Blast Lane was the railway sidings used to bring in the fruit & veg for the Castlefields market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aalan79 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yes, and thanks for your reply. That would be Darnall engine shed, closed to steam in 1963. I'm afraid most steam engines looked old and dirty at that time, as cleaning engines was hard and dirty work, and most lads couldn't fancy it.
