One of the defining features of the Norfolk Park estates, through which the Halfway/Herdings line runs, was the residential tower blocks which dotted this part of the Sheffield skyline. The last one, Grange, was next to Park Grange tram stop, and is seen here being prepared for its demolition, which took place in April 2005. With the removal of the tower blocks and high-density housing in the area, much of the passenger base on this part of the network has been taken away
