On the way home from work today, I conducted a site visit.

Previously I had told you that it was "Brand New", the only brand

new bit is the concrete!

I had been told by a trammie that they had substituted a new sets

of points, in place of old - it looked good in the photos - not true.

I now dispute his judgement, in fact I would encourage all those

who wish to see some remnants to go and have a look.

There were cast iron plates with MMTB on them, as well

as "Hadfields Sheffield?"around the point work.

Still to see all the interlaced pointwork laid out to serve roads 1-

4 made you feel - All was right! - as it should be.

Kactus,

I wonder if this point work is the original special work installed
in 1915,'16,or was it installed in the late 1930's when the depot
fan and shed fronts were remodelled prior to the allotment of the SW6
class cars from 1939
onwards.
