Pre-Supertram photos? (Read 1,821 times)

[ateam]

Being born in 1985 I have vague memories of places such as Hillsborough and the city centre in the days before the installation of the Supertram network changed Sheffield's landscape permanently.. I'm sure that there's many pictures of scenes from the late 1980s era taken by the guys on here, has anyone got any that they would be willing to share? No particular reason, just to refresh the old memory

Thanks for the pics so far guys

The one of Park Square is especially telling, it has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Saying that, I had to look hard at the ones of Gleadless Townend as well.

Has anyone anything of the Hillsborough corner area, before work was started there?
