Parkwood Springs was an area of housing in Sheffield, where the majority of men living there - and their families - worked at the Neepsend Railway Station, Train Shed, Carriage Sidings and Goods Depot belonging to the Great Central Railway. The Neepsend Works eventually closed because the similar Works Facilities at Darnall had better road access. The people living in Parkwood Springs moved out of the area and the houses were eventually demolished and replaced by the Sheffield Ski Village! It was this Narrow Road Bridge that was the problem as access to the Works was through here! Image Image
