EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Sheffield in 1953. The image showcases Angel Street at its junction with King Street, capturing a moment frozen in time. On the right side stands No 1 Syminton and Croft Ltd. , a ladies outfitters, while on the left we see Nos 1-13 B. and W. Cockayne Ltd. , drapers. However, what truly catches our attention is the visible remnants of destruction caused by the devastating Sheffield Blitz during World War II. The bomb damage serves as a haunting reminder of the city's resilience and strength amidst adversity. In the background looms Castle House, home to Brightside and Carbrook Co-operative Society (Castle House No. 1). This iconic building adds an air of grandeur to this otherwise ordinary street scene. Preserved from an original at Sheffield Libraries, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history - a testament to both human endurance and architectural heritage. It allows us to reflect upon how war can shape cities and communities for generations to come. As we observe this snapshot from over half a century ago, let us remember those who lived through these challenging times while appreciating how far we have come since then.
