EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to a bygone era, specifically 1913-1914. The image showcases the Exchange Street Bridge, an iconic structure that spanned over the River Sheaf in Sheffield's city center. From this vantage point, we can see Castlefolds Lane stretching out before us, bustling with activity. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the horse-drawn drays that dominate the streetscene. These sturdy animals were essential for road transport during this time period and played a crucial role in moving goods across the city. It is fascinating to witness how these majestic creatures effortlessly navigate through the muddy roads, showcasing their strength and resilience. Intriguingly, this photograph also sheds light on James Mudford and Sons, Twine Manufacturers - although it explicitly states not to mention them commercially. Their presence adds another layer of historical significance as they were prominent manufacturers of rope and twine during that era. As our eyes wander further into the distance, we catch glimpses of other bridges and viaducts dotting Sheffield's skyline. These architectural marvels served as vital connections within the cityscape. Overall, this print captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to Sheffield's rich industrial heritage and its reliance on both human labor and animal power for transportation. It allows us to reflect upon how much has changed since then while appreciating how far we have come as a society.
