Improvement works uncover historical tram tracks which had been buried beneath modern streets.
Sheffield Civic Trust describes the find on Fargate in Sheffield city centre as a "window to the past"Renovation works in Sheffield have uncovered old tram tracks hidden for decades beneath the city's streets.
The work in the city centre aims to "transform" the area with green spaces, seating areas and new lighting, the council previously said. "I think what makes this particularly interesting to people is that it has captured their imagination, there's a lot of memories for people who remember the original trams in Sheffield."
Ms Ridler, who is also a councillor for Stocksbridge and Upper Don, continued: "The history of trams in the city goes right back to the 1800s, they were horse-drawn when they were first introduced then electric from around the turn of the 20th Century.
