The old view up to Sheffield Wednesday on Penistone Road

[@owlstalk]

Here's how the view up to the ground used to look on Penistone Road before road widening, houses got knocked down, the trams were ripped out, and it was all replaced by a dual carriageway and a leisure centre

Takes some recognising until you see the stone park entrance on the left!

We must have lost.

 

There's only one guy waiting for the Green 'Un van, and he's the newsagent.

There was a Béres on the right just out of camera shot

So much for progress.  I prefer it how it was.

Most of the right hand side terraces were still there when I started going in 1966.

That building just inside the park gates is marked on the OS map as "urinal", amused me as a lad! it was open when I started going but has been bricked up for donkeys years.

Speaking of views. We used to walked down herries Road under the five arches. Way back we didn't know when we were in TV until we saw the cameras scaffolding erect on to of the kop. 

That was a great sight as we knew that we could watch the lads that night or on a Sunday.
