Photo List.
1.
Grimesthorpe Rd looking towards the top of Torbay Rd taken in 1982
but has not changed much
since before WW2.
2. Petre Street in 1964 - where Lyons Street crossed Petre St.
3. Petre Street in 1982 - This shot is very nearly the same position as in 1964 - Note the only reminder of what used to be is the post box on the corner.
4.
Wood hill, more commonly known as Smiths' Field, looking up the hill
where Grimesthorpe Rd runs along the top, taken in 1982. Strangely no buildings
have ever been built on the hill, yet very close by were tightly packed
terraced houses.
5.
Harleston Street taken in 1982 from Petre St, all the houses have been
knocked down and rather a dismal view of the Don Valley over the steel
works to Attercliffe.
6.
Sutherland Rd. 1982, in contrast to Harleston St. some of the houses
are still standing, these houses today are about 100 years old. I remember
my wife's grandmother saying she moved into one when they were new and
she was a little girl, she would have been 110 if still alive.
7.
Malton Street, the large houses on the
left backed onto Burngreave Cemetery, taken in 1982 some of the terraced
houses on the right have already been cleared away.

10. Sutherland Rd baths was a very popular swimming pool/public bath/public laundry this was the site of the baths looking from Sutherland Rd up Maxwell St. The large building is part of Ellesmere School.
11.
All Saints church at the intersection
of Lyons St. & Sutherland Rd. 1963, a prominent land mark in Sheffield
for 100 years, unfortunately was knocked down due to all the houses around
being cleared. A sad loss of a very beautiful church. Photo taken from
Malton St.
12. St. Peters church, the replacement for All Saints built on the same spot 1982. Photo taken from same place as all Saints Picture 1963 on Malton Street. The building in the foreground is the rear of the old Mormon Temple.
