Earlier this week we brought you photos of the revised service operating to Middlewood with works due to take place on Holme Lane which meant trams weren’t able to run to Malin Bridge. This service change was in place over the whole of the weekend of 4th and 5th November but it seems that the Saturday saw no work happen with the Sunday then seeing the road surface patched on the outbound track.
Two lorries and work crews are seen here on Holme Lane as broken areas of the road are patched with new tarmac.
Here we see the newly laid tarmac being flattened. (Both Photographs by Stuart Cooke, 5th November 2023)
Just visible on the right of the first photo is the retained frontage of what was Sheffield Corporation’s Hillsborough tram depot.
