That's Sheffield, possibly going down into Woodseats. John Wenninger had a couple of butchers shops.

Those good old days with banks in the high street (Barclays and Lloyds) and the occasional bank robbery rather than on line fraud :lol:

Funny that. The rear wheel drive Escort seems to be making progress , whilst the front wheel drive Mini estate seems to be stuck!

I ran a Mark II Escort 1100 like that (WBF930S iirc) and had no trouble in snow at all. In fact most cars were okay as long as you had decent tread - but skinny tyres like the 155R 13's on Escorts etc put all the weight on a much narrower area.

Minis were ok in the snow but the Maxi and Princess were the snow kings. :lol:

The location on Sheffield is Eccleshall Road South, largely unchanged apart from banks and butchers vanishing, but it's a nice area without the usual scum vape shops, turkish barbers or betting shops.
