Pleasure Trips and Rambles in the Sheffield District : Guide book issued by Sheffield Corporation Transport Department, c1958
For many years several UK municipal and private bus operators issued 'official' guides and handbooks detailing their services and opportunities for such leisure activities as walking and rambling using the services provided. Sheffield was one such Corporation and their guide ran to many editions from the 1920s until the late 1960s. Sheffield was unusual for a 'municipal' operator in that thanks to its membership of a "Joint Transport Committee' along with the Railways it ran numerous quite long distance services. Thanks to Sheffield's location many of these routes ran off west into the beautiful Peak District and other places in rural Derbyshire that were a magnet for city dwellers.
This edition of the guide is c1958 as a handful of tram routes survive - Sheffield's exemplary first generation tram system came to an end in 1960. The cover shows the city's Town Hall and an apparent AEC Regent V of a type that was being ordered as part of the fleet and tram replacement programme.
