Sheffield Flats
Before the Second World War Sheffield Council planned a major slum clearance and redevelopment programme in the Park Hill area. But this was largely halted due to the War. Afterwards, a radical scheme, under the leadership of the Council's chief architect John Lewis Womersley, was introduced - the Park Hill redevelopment. It was viewed as revolutionary at the time, featuring a deck access scheme. Construction began in 1957 and Park Hill (Part One) was officially opened by Hugh Gaitskell, in 16 June 1961.

The East Coast Main Line 1939-1959 (Volume 2)
• The first detailed study of this huge mainline through its operational history • Features extended commentaries from the authors, rich in detail • Superbly illustrated with black and white photographs, many never seen before In this second and final volume, the whole of the East Coast Main Line between King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley stations is examined closely, with a particular emphasis on the ways and structures: the line, stations, connections, yards, and other physical features. Interposed are accounts of the traffic at the principal stations – including connecting and branch line services – with observations on changes over the period 1939 to 1959. Some emphasis is placed on freight traffic on account of its importance and, perhaps, its relative unfamiliarity to the reader. The lines, stations and many other elements are described as they were in August 1939, but as some plans on which they are based are dated before the late 1930s, there may be marginal differences from the precise layout in 1939.
Cock O' the North
On 22 May 1934 a zenith of locomotive construction in the UK was reached when an enormous new locomotive entered traffic for the London & North Eastern Railway Company. The impressive engine was P2 Class no. 2001 Cock o' the North and it was painstakingly erected to the designs of eminent locomotive engineer H.N. Gresley (later Sir) at the company's sprawling Doncaster Works.Cock o' the North was equipped with number of new and experimental features and this created quite a stir in the highly critical railway world and with the wider general public.
