EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the early 20th century takes us back to a time of sheer joy and innocence. Here we see Prof. Gentil, an esteemed figure in the world of roller skating, guiding little Doris as they glide gracefully across the polished floor of Olympia Skating Rink in Bramall Lane, Sheffield. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to the exhilaration that roller skating brought to people's lives during this era. The Edwardian charm is palpable as both young and old gathered at this beloved venue for moments of pure delight. Little Doris appears utterly entranced by her experience on wheels while being gently guided by Prof. Gentil's expert hand. Her wide-eyed wonderment reflects the magic that emanated from every corner of Olympia Skating Rink. Located within Sheffield's vibrant community in Yorkshire, this rink served as a hub for families seeking wholesome entertainment amidst their bustling lives. It was here that friendships were forged and memories created; where laughter echoed through its hallowed halls. Preserved with care by Sheffield Libraries' City Archives, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an enchanting chapter of our past - one filled with laughter and boundless energy. Let it serve as a reminder that even amid challenging times like these when commercial use may be restricted or irrelevant – simple pleasures can still bring immense happiness
