Dist:0.2km<br/>This picture was taken during the big freeze of January 2010, 3 days after heavy snowfall. At the bottom of the road the Belle Vue pub can just be made out - closed for business at the time of posting.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This building, on the corner of Walkley Road (in the foreground) and Freedom Road (off to the right) was originally the Royal Oak Public House. The entrance to the Pub being the bricked up section, in the centre between the two windows.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The door to the Ladies - situated on the lower level - is just visible behind the Ivy. The Gents is up top on Heavygate Road. This is well described by J G Harrison in his linked picture ... although I can't find any record of Trams running along Heavygate Road. [[1013650]] [[1159356]] [[1165681]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>These steps lead down from Heavygate Road to Fir Street ... and up again! The building to the left is the two-storey toilet block ... so over the years many a desperate lady would have been glad of these steps to get down to their loo! [[1159356]] [[1013650]] [[1165704]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>This house on the corner of Walkley Road (in the foreground) and Freedom Road (running off and up the picture) used to be two shops ... Freedom Stores on the corner and Walkley Motors next to it. This accounts for the mis-matched windows.

Dist:0.3km<br/>These gateposts were the original entrance to the actual Bank House ... now replaced by Flats and Houses on Bak House Road

Dist:0.4km<br/>Not surprisingly, there is a great view from this viewpoint. Follow the link to see for yourself. If you ever go to Vigo on holiday, or on a Cruise Ship, they have a viewpoint which they try to persuade tourists to visit! Well, don't bother ... come to this one instead! [[1256398]]

Dist:0.4km<br/>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, which are not visible in the picture. The Heavygate toilets are particularly interesting in that they are a two-storey structure. Visible is the top floor, the male toilets. The female toilets are in the lower floor, accessed from Fir Street down the steps at the side. In the picture is a student filmcrew who were making a documentary about public toilets in Sheffield.
