Well. It's been a few days since I posted something. And a few days of work and difficult research to find images and informaiton concerning my project of the last few days: Sheffield, Park Goods station. Yeh, yeh, Sheffield again, but as S R Batty, a renowned and prollific rialway books author, said: "
I make no apologies for having a further look at the once-great railways which crossed within the city of Steel! Developments eventually produced a railway crossroads which contained enough variety and activity to stand comparison with any similar location in the land."
So here we are, on the edge of the city of steel's centre where the GCR crosses over the MML. Two goods yards, City and Park, feed the GCR with goods trafic and are situated to the Northeast of the centre 10m above gorund level.
City to the left and Park to hte right.
Park in the foreground, City in the background. Sheffield Canal and would be port is in between.
Post grouping with LNER steam pulling freight in and out of Park.
A good view of the Sheffield Basin with the straddle warehousing crossing the canal on its width.
A general view of the area. Sheffield Victoria is in the foreground with passengers waiting to go to the Dark Side of thr Pennines.
Enjoy,
Greg
