Meaks Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Doesn't seem that there's much left of it. The Royal Mail don't recognise it and it has no postcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Farnehough Street is still there ...according to Google Earth. I use that road regular. Yes you can still drive along it pressy, in fact it is quite a busy road but I think it has been renamed "Broad Oaks" which is why jmdee cannot find it on the street maps. Perhaps someone can confirm the name change, shoppercheck is on the corner and it's adress is 180 Stanniforth Road, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 According to Google Maps that part of Attercliffe is called Norton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The whole of Sheffield seems to come under Norton according to Google Maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleke95 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 That is marvelous Meaks. I've just worked it out. The properties on the original Cave Street and Farnehough Street have been replaced by industrial units. The green arrow on the map which shows where Farnehough St. once was is now called Broadoaks, Shoppercheck is on the corner. The road bends round to the right and people park alongside the "Wrecks" which is where the running track is. Hamiltons Hire is opposite, they hire out lorries, diggers, JCB's etc and if you remember a few months ago there was a massive fire at a tyre place (Dexel Tyres?) which is the building with the white roof, but the fire was in another building belonging to them on Westbury Street just a few yards lower down Staniforth Road. It would have been a good place to live because Attercliffe Road is only at the bottom of Stanniforth Road where all the shops like Banners were which is only just round the corner. It was a good place to live - I lived there! (At the bottom of Broad Oaks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 It was a good place to live - I lived there! (At the bottom of Broad Oaks) How far back are you going Footifreak? Was the council depot on the other side of Staniforth Road when you were living there? I only ask because the school buses are based there along with some of the other services the council provide.

Diddles Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Doesn't seem that there's much left of it. The Royal Mail don't recognise it and it has no postcode. I'm not surprised - Google Maps thinks that it's in Norton !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteley Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 My grandma and grandad lived on Fearnehough Street, their back garden backed on to Broad Oaks, it was a great place to live. I used to live on Cottingham Street, just a bit further down Staniforth Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the depot you are refering to, was then B.R.S. (British Road Services) if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
