It used to be at 101 Sheffield Road. It was demolished when the road was widened about 1917 ish i think.

Where is that poppy? I thought it was on the left, just around the corner from Newbold Road.

It was further down Sheffield Road in Stonegravels. Close to where the entrance to the refuse/recycling are is today. There are a couple of pictures taken from further back on PTP. I know the chap who submitted a similar view to this to PTP and he told me that is was taken circa 1905. The gentleman in the doorway is John Thickett and his son Bernard. They were relations of his. Nice pic.

Two Spiffing pictures there, Pete and Poppy, I love Pete's with the gentleman and child standing outside, it brings life to it and Poppy that Tram with the Tram lines is a brilliant picture.
