echo beach Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 There’s still one on Surrey Street next to the town hall although it’s now green and white. My mate paid a visit to it in the ‘60s after being detained for putting a cenotaph wreath around his neck and dancing down Barkers Pool. Well, it was the era of ‘flower power’!😃 I also think there was one on London Road near the Locarno. Strategically placed for turning out time. echo.

Yes, I remember it well; it is marked "P C B" on this 1950s map. I was told that it met its demise when a runaway vehicle came down the hill opposite and shunted it neatly into the river!

abbeyedges Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I think there was one at Meadowhead. Where the large roundabout is, used to be a cross roads. Backed onto the Transport Sports Ground. When Dr Who was filmed in Sheffield a couple of years ago it would have been a respectful nod to the past if they'd used the one on Surrey Street in their filming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
