Public Toilets, Commonside
As with many of the public toilets in Sheffield, these were built by Sheffield Corporation Tramways primarily to serve the tram drivers at tram termini. Consequently, they were male toilets. The council later built female toilets next door in the concrete structure just visible.
The Commonside toilets are interesting in that they are built into the base of a hillside. They are essentially underground, and were constructed with bridge-building techniques.
In the picture is a student filmcrew who were making a documentary about public toilets in Sheffield.

The Hallamshire House Public House
19th Century public house and old coaching inn on situated on Commonside. Don't let the unsightly traffic lights and cones detract you too much from this pub which is one of the most atmospheric and unpretentious real ale establishments in the city. At the time of posting the current proprietors had also just celebrated their 30th anniversary at the helm.

Hallamshire House, Commonside, Sheffield
The junction of the lower end of Commonside with Barber Road can be glimpsed in the distance. Herded animals, on their way to the former cattle market near to the former Victoria Railway Station, may well have been 'rested' in this area i.e. Common-side. (See: https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/16673-baaa/). "The Closed Shop" -
a gastropub - is situated behind the photographer at the junction with Hands Lane.

Commonside, Walkley, Sheffield
Commonside may have gained its title from the habit of herders ‘resting’ their animals on common land in this area whilst in the process of moving them from Stannington and Walkley to the former cattle market near Sheffield's former Victoria Station. (See: https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/16673-baaa/). Although city bound buses join Barber Road ahead - on the horizon - Commonside bears to the right at the same point, passing the side of a jeweller's shop that has blue shutters (a former bank) and it continues uphill towards Crookes and Broomhill.
