EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from Sheffield City Archives, showcasing an intriguing advertisement for Raleigh cycles. Dating back to 1907, the image transports us to a bygone era where Leopold Street in Sheffield served as the bustling depot for these iconic bicycles. The photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia, capturing the essence of early 20th-century Yorkshire. The advertisement itself is a testament to the enduring popularity of cycling during that period. With its bold typography and eye-catching design, it undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby on Leopold Street. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, people were drawn to the freedom and joy that cycling brings. Sheffield City Libraries have done an exceptional job preserving this original piece of history (y13096), allowing us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind such advertisements but also their cultural significance. This print offers a glimpse into an era when bicycles were more than just modes of transportation; they represented adventure, independence, and progress. As we admire this remarkable artifact from Sheffield's past, let's take a moment to reflect on how far we've come since then while cherishing our shared love for cycling - whether it be leisurely rides through picturesque landscapes or competitive races along city streets.
