Sheffield Supertram : Pictures : tram 117 at Meadowhall South/Tinsley

117 crossing the bridge over the River Don, approaching Meadowhall South/Tinsley stop. In the background the Tinsley Viaduct carries the M1 (upper level) and the A631 spur (lower level) over the Don Valley. The cooling towers, an unofficial icon of Sheffield, were left standing after the demolition of Blackburn Meadows Power Station, partly because of the cost of demolishing them and the safety implications arising from their proximity to the viaduct, and partly because they have become a nesting site for a rare bird
