EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Sheffield. The image showcases a prominent building that once housed J. P Cutts, Sutton and Son, esteemed optical instrument makers. Located at 39 Division Street, this corner establishment stood proudly at the junction of Division Street and Rockingham Lane. The photograph captures an era when chimneys dominated the city's skyline, symbolizing its thriving industrial prowess. Amidst this urban landscape stands the grand structure of J. P Cutts, Sutton and Son. Its architectural elegance is juxtaposed against the surrounding industrial backdrop. As we delve into history through this lens, we are transported to a time when precision craftsmanship was highly valued. This renowned family business specialized in producing high-quality optical instruments that were essential for scientific research and everyday life alike. While Queen Victoria reigned over Britain during this period, her influence on Sheffield's development as an industrial powerhouse is not explicitly depicted in this image. Instead, our attention is drawn to the legacy left by these skilled opticians who contributed significantly to technological advancements in their field. This remarkable print offers a glimpse into Sheffield's past - a city center teeming with innovation and expertise. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and the enduring spirit of progress that shaped one of England's most industrious cities.
