Chapeltown Park Illuminations

[tombell2008]

I am a friend of the park in Chapeltown, and I have been told about the Illumination that used to be in the park. Personally, I think that they should be brought back! We are hoping to get some electricity in the park, so maybe in the future they will come back!

Just bringing this back to light after many years as it cropped up in a conversation in the pub and I contributed to this thread many years ago. Will now only be remembered by anyone over 50 ish and i've not seen any photos of the lights in archives or history sites (unless you know there are?) . That's a shame really as the illuminations were so much part of the calendar of Chapeltown and they are becoming forgotten.

When Chapeltown became part of Sheffield in the 1974 when SYCC was set up some of the set pieces came to be used in the Christmas illuminations in Sheffield. The former street lighting team joined the Sheffield department, and they brought the equipment with them.
