Two illustrated scenes showing old fashioned Sheffield trams. Young Fred and his friends used to have hours of fun switching the points to make the trams go the wrong way, or go into the wrong tram shed.

Above are a selection of the illustrations I have recently finished for local author Fred Alcock who will be publishing a book of stories from his childhood, growing up in Sheffield in the 40s and 50s.
The illustrations show young Fred getting up to mischief and into trouble, and the stories have a 'Just William' feel.
These illustrations were drawn in pen and ink, and have a nostalgic period feel.
