Active8 issue 206 April 2020
EXTRAORDINARY times call for extraordinary action. The coronavirus pandemic has changed all of our lives, threatened the health and welfare of everyone, battered businesses both large and small and taken our children out of organised education for the forseeable future. Needless to say, the S8 community has rallied to help the needy and the vulnerable. From people running errands and checking on the welfare of neighbours, through to stirring doorstep rounds of applause for our health and welfare workers and children posting support through rainbow displays. Here at Active8, we’ve published your community magazine every month for the past 18 years and feel we should continue to serve you throughout these dark days. We can’t send our distributors to your letter-box right now, but we hope you enjoy reading this ‘virtual’ publication. Businesses have happily teamed up with Active8 down the years and this is an opportunity for us to support them in their hour of need. Therefore all advertisements booked into this April magazine appear here without charge. As ever, we urge everyone to support all local businesses as and when they can and look forward to launching a ‘ReActive8 S8’ campaign once we beat this virus. For now, it is vital that we take on board all the instructions and advice being given to us. Stay at home and stay safe. And you can do your bit to help local businesses by sharing this Active8 on line with your friends, family members and other contacts. Also check out the Active8 facebook page. Mike Firth, Editor

End of the track<br />

ELCOME to Woodseats in the late 19th century and an era when this was the end<br />
of the road as far as Sheffield’s tramcar service was concerned.<br />
Before the tramlines were extended further south to take in Abbey Lane and Meadowhead,<br />
the terminus was right here at the junction of Chesterfield Road and Chantrey Road (right).<br />
Note that the tramcars pictured display letters, not numbers, to identify their destination.<br />
Shops shown on the left, close to the top of The Dale, have survived, but across the road the<br />
large gabled doctor’s surgery was demolished in 1964.<br />
