These playing fields were the site of the proposed Supertram Herdings Spur looking south. The 2 blocks of flats featured are known as The Herdings Complex. They originally included 3 towers, however, one was demolished as it was deemed unsafe. After it was reduced to 2 towers the complex received names such as the 'Herdings Twin Towers' and' Sheffield Twin Towers'. While it was still three towers, the complex was also named 'The Three Sisters'. The 3 towers were built in 1959 and were named 'Queen Elizabeth Court', Queen Anne Court' and 'Raeburn Place'. The latter was demolished between 1995 and 1996. |
