This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the bustling streets of 1939 Sheffield. The image showcases an advertisement for Marple and Gillott Ltd. , prominent scrap metal merchants, proudly displayed on the walls of The Old Bridge Street Foundry. The photograph captures a snapshot of history, depicting a time when advertising played a vital role in promoting local businesses. Marple and Gillott Ltd. 's presence is felt throughout this industrial landscape as their name boldly stands out against the backdrop of steelworks. The Old Bridge Street Foundry itself exudes an aura of strength and resilience, symbolizing Sheffield's rich manufacturing heritage. Its weathered brick walls tell stories of countless hours spent crafting quality products that contributed to the city's reputation as an industrial powerhouse. Adjacent to this iconic foundry lies Eagle Works on Stevenson Road in Attercliffe - another testament to Sheffield's industrious spirit. This area was once teeming with factories and workshops, where hardworking men labored tirelessly amidst clouds of smoke and sparks.

It serves as a reminder not only of Sheffield's glorious past but also its enduring legacy as one of Britain's most significant centers for industry. Let this photograph be cherished as a window into our collective history – a tribute to those who built our cities with sweat, determination
