EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Sheffield in 1968. The scene captured is none other than Fitzalan Square, a vibrant hub of activity that tells a story of a bygone era. As we gaze upon this snapshot, our eyes are drawn towards the iconic landmarks that once graced this historic square. On the left-hand side stands Barclays Bank, an imposing structure exuding strength and stability amidst the hustle and bustle. Adjacent to it, we see the Classic Cinema, its marquee adorned with enticing movie titles that would have lured film enthusiasts from all walks of life. A beacon for entertainment and escapism during those days. Completing this picturesque ensemble is the Bell Hotel on the right-hand side – a place where weary travelers sought respite after long journeys or locals gathered for social gatherings over pints of ale. The composition beautifully captures not only these architectural gems but also reveals snippets of daily life as people go about their business along High Street. It's fascinating to observe how fashion has evolved throughout time, with men donning suits and hats while women elegantly parade in dresses or skirts. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives, this photograph allows us to step into history's shoes momentarily and appreciate how much our beloved city has transformed over decades. Let it serve as a reminder of our rich heritage and inspire us to cherish both old memories and new beginnings alike.
