Supertram No. 08 (now renumbered 108) was on its way to the temporary terminus at Spring Lane tram top, near City Road. Behind it can be seen the former pub known as The Fellbrigg. This was at 331 Arbourthorne Road, but with a side frontage visible on Park Grange Road. In 2002, several years after this view was taken, the owners sold it to the Church of England, for conversion into a church. This was to replace two others, which the Church felt were in outdated buildings. This proposed change of use provoked a big protest, because the pub was one of the few community facilities around, and its patrons preferred to have a pub rather than a church. The Church said they would be prepared to reconsider if people could come up with an alternative site for the church. In the end this apparently didn't happen and the building ceased to be a pub. It is now The Beacon - St Paul and St Leonard Church & Community Centre. While you might find spiritual sustenance there, you unfortunately won't find a pint of beer.

The gatehouse tower of City Road Cemetery can be seen above the council flats.

Iron bridge crossing a surprisingly deep gorge near the southern end of Norfolk Park. Lum (or 'lumb') refers to a slow-moving stream through a cleft or ravine often joining a pond or lake.

Norfolk Park was one of the first free parks in the country, opening in 1848, and given as a gift to the City of Sheffield in 1910 by the Duke of Norfolk. It features spectacular views across the city.
